Teacher/Instructor

Available to: Academic Elite and Elite Militia
There is a great call for teachers in the border towns and farming villages in and around Cardania. Few competent teachers exist and even fewer towns and villages can afford to pay them what they are worth.(NEW) Teach: This is the ability to impart knowledge or skill in a particular field of study or task. Teaching progress is checked once a month. A Teacher can also tutor a group of students equal to less than on quarter of the teachers [(IQ+ME)/2] after hours on one subject per pupil. Base 10%; +5% per level

Core Skill: Teach (+20%)
Other Skills: Choose 2 skills from any category (+20%); Choose 4 skills from any category (+15%)

Example: Bob (IQ 14; ME 15) is teaching chemistry to a class of 30 students in an old school house with a chemistry lab and chemistry books. Bob has the Basic Chemistry skill at 60%, and Teaching skill at 34%.

Starting out, it will take Bob 10 months to instruct the students to the base skill level(50%). At the end of each month of teaching the class he will need to roll a teaching check for each student with a base check of -5% (Class size is more than double the average of Bob's IQ and ME (14.5), but has access to a chemistry lab and books (-15%+5%+5%)). However, students with IQ's lower than 9 will be at -5% per point below 9. So to successfully teach Johnny, with an IQ of 6 (-15%), Bob would need to succeed a Teaching skill roll of 14% (34%-5%-15%).

Bob could try to tutor Johnny (+10% per month) after school which would allow for a skill roll of 24%.

Failure would mean that Johnny would not gain the 10% for Chemistry skill these two months, and would have to suffer through two more months of instruction to make it up.  Some instructors will dismiss students they deem unteachable.
