A simpler version would be to have a success on the Investigation roll provide either a temporary bonus or a Difficulty modifier to the Streetwise roll.

In general, I dislike arbitrary caps on skill levels. If a player wants to spend CP and time improving a skill, let them; it's their CP to spend. As a GM, it behooves you to motivate them to diversify ...

I added a little twist to the Victory III-Class. Fractal's model features clamshell panels that hinge open to expose the port and starboard launch tubes. I decided to include rules for those panels, t ...

That makes sense. Designing and implementing good drills could make the crew better.

In retrospect, I can also see this skill coming in handy for my Capital Ship Combat concept in longer campaigns. A ship captain with dice in Instruction could potentially use it to train up his crew o ...

That would be the Metal-Crystal Phase Shifter.

How about a 1to 1 gaining a large bonus with a teacher that has the instruction skill(s)
Because 1-to-1 is the default for the rest of the rules. Perform one task at basic Difficulty, but if you incr ...

Sure, it’s possible; just give the walker enough repulsor assist to counter most of the weight, and probably a droid brain to handle the mechanics of jumping.

I can also see it if a PC were needing to train up a squad or platoon of troops in preparation for a specific event, like a Magnificent Seven situation where mercenaries have to train a bunch of farme ...

How often has this scenario - of a teacher having to teach a group of students - actually come up in a game, though? In my head, I've always seen it as a one-on-one encounter off-screen between missio ...

Since this seems more class/group use, how many 'students' could one instructor "Teach" at once?
My rule of thumb is a +/- 1D every time the number involved doubles or halves. So, if you're ...

The Mandator III has been a long-running joke in the Fractalsponge community, to the effect that it would never get done, and that asking about it only made it less likely. Fractal has even gotten in ...
