Table 5-3 provides no indication of where someone should look for a Use Rope check. For the sake of backwards compatibility, I suggest that there be a clear rule if Use Rope ever comes up when playing a non-PF adventure. I suggest that if a Use Rope check is ever called for, the PC should be able to use the best of Knowledge (dungeoneering) or a relevant Profession (like sailor). Just my 2 coppers.
