Interesting. I think we always did this sort of thing naturally anyway, without needing specific rules for it.

In your first example (stage performance), it's a mixture of DEX and INT tasks, so Bard, Acrobat, Charisma would come into that, if anyone has these talents. Failing that, I'd make characters roll DEX for the tumbling and INT for the singing etc.

In your second example (haggling with Merchant), that's a pure INT task and there are rules for that already under the Business Sense Talent. If neither has the Talent (which would seem unlikely), roll INT with modifiers if you think the other Talents are relevant in the situation.
