As a guideline, the [[#progress rolls]] for each phase has the same parameters with respect to Difficulty, Required successes, Interval and Minimum Duration. | + | Crafting projects are executed in five stages, grouped into two phases. Each stage is necessary, but need not always be a challenge. As a guideline, the [[#progress rolls]] for each stage have the same Difficulty, Required successes, and Minimum Duration. The Interval is handled differently: the Production interval is the Base Interval, the interval of the Insight, Design, Prototyping and Calibration stages is one magnitude shorter (so a base interval of 'Months' means 'Weeks' for all the non-production stages). |

This requires expertise and insight into the uses of the thing, and requires a [[#progress roll]] of (Intelligence + Relevant Ability). | + | - **Insight:** During the insight stage the crafter gathers inspiration and insight into the purpose of the thing they are aiming to make.
