Acrobatics
Acrobatics and tumbling could be useful just for entertainment, but a character proficient in acrobatics is also more able to dodge and evade projectile (including magical and elemental) and melee attacks by increasing the defense vs such attacks by one die per skill degree. Defense against blunt damage caused by falling is likewise increased by one die per skill degree.
Balance
Stepping across a narrow tree fallen over a ravine. Tightrope walking between two buildings. It could make for a daring rescue, successful robbery, or a timely escape. This is just a Skill roll.
Brute Strength
Increase all physical force attack rolls by one die per skill degree. Move heavy items of one hundred kilograms without difficulty. Each skill degree doubles the weight of heavy items which can be carried. (If the race is greater than medium-sized, the weight is doubled per size above medium.)
Climbing
Climbing not only includes finding handholds in brick or dungeon walls or climbing cliff faces, but also includes scaling buildings, mazes of pipes, parkour, or anything else where a strong grip and healthy arm and leg strength would aid in moving up or down structures, man-made or natural. This is just a skill roll. In general, a character can move up or down at a rate equal to walking as an action and increasing by +100% per degree.
Endurance
Running, jogging, swimming, flying and really any aerobic, cardiovascular activity can be performed at the highest level for 100% more time per skill degree.
Movement Speed
As a practical measure, an increase in movement speed means that a slow character would list their speed as S1. A second degree increase would be S2. A third degree increase would be S3. A fourth degree increase would move the character to the next highest division, from small to average or from average to fast. So what does an S1, S2, and S3 mean. It means they are faster than S or any Sn lower than the one they are. For catching an NPC or monster, this could be important.
