Some of those, certainly. Let me think about that, and it might need a different name.

Thinking about this a bit more, though, just buying up the skill for complementary bonus purposes feels a bit... unexciting, I guess. I'd suggest switching it around a little, making it a roll against [Skill]-5, but if you succeed, you get double the usual complementary bonus: +2 on a success, or +4 on a critical success.
Something doesn't feel quite right about this, although I agree the technique is not exciting as it stands. How about reducing the incidence of critical failures for the person being guided?
