Is there such thing as a dungeoneering proficiency? I know there's a knowledge (dungeoneering) skill check in 3.5E and an actual dungeoneering skill in 4E, but nothing in 2E. One of my players who has also played 4E was interested in taking the proficiency, and it's logical for him as a mage to have studied such topics, but I can't find any "official" material on it in 2E. _________________ No place is safe, only safer.
These proficiencies are to be found in a mixture of books, including the aforementioned "Dungeoneer's Survival Guide" and the "Options: Skills & Powers" book, as well as your 2e Player's Handbook. The "Complete Book of Dwarves" is also handy. Let me know if you need costs for these, as well as skill ratings.
Dungeoneering was in the Dungeoneers Survival guide and can be easily adapted for 2e usage. Player's option skills and powers or simply a Knowledge (Dungeoneering) proficiency can be made for your 2e campaign my suggestion INT-3 and Survival (Dungeoneering) WIS -3.

I dug around in the DSG for this today but I couldn't find it anywhere.
What I'm doing instead is modifying the 3.5E rules to fit 2E. The proficiency costs 2 slots and is based on Int with no modifiers. When checking to know something about any given creature you take penalties for the HD and the rarity of the creature: -2 for Uncommon, -4 for Rare and -6 for Very Rare. No chance for unique. If the character rolls the DC precisely, they know just 1 fact, over the DC scores 2 facts, a natural 20 gets 1 + 1d3 facts.
I'll give the character the chance to focus his check on a specific area - special attacks, habitat and ecology, special defenses, etc., for an additional penalty. If the first check succeeds, I'll allow subsequent checks for specific information, but once any check fails the character draws a blank and no further info can be gained. _________________ No place is safe, only safer.
