Invention

⚠ <pre> IQ: 20 IQ Hard Skill: 8+4 = 12 points = 22 base skill

		+3 to whatever skill if i already have it

+1 Quirk: Attentive +1 Versatile +2 Artificer +x Visualization (IQ roll, success threshold /2 for almost the same, /3 for much different)

+5 for a working model to copy +2 if it exists but you don't have a model +1 to +5 if it is a variant on an existing model -5 if it's a new technology to the campaign -5 if the device is of a higher TL

Prototyping +1 per assistant with skill 20+, each skilled assistant reduces time required

Results:

	Base roll: 22+4-5 = 21 (includes modular abilities, attentive, versatile, and artificer)
		Simple   -6 > 15
		Average -10 > 11
		Complex -14 > 7
		Amazing -22 > -1

	+Use Visualization, Weird Science, Extra Time to get effective level to 16 to reduce chance of critical failure
        +1 on Prototyping roll from ALTAIR as an assistant
        +1 or +2 if I have a quality software tool
        -Use Haste on the concept roll if above 16 since there is no benefit to succeed by a high margin.

divide time on prototyping roll by number of people working on it -- 1/(n+1) where n is the number of assistants

Cost

	Lab costs	Higher TL lab	Additional Cost if lab is reuseable
