A skill bid is when a player uses their skill points in a bidding fashion to attempt to gain an advantage. This typically is required for a few skills in which the character must bet a predetermined, and often unknown, amount. Skill bids can also be thrown out and combined with daring feats that a player attempts to help them on an in-play level. For example, if a person is presented with a jump that they feel they might not be able to make out-of-play but they want their character to be able to do said feat, they might tell the marshal that they wish to bid X amount of skill points to aid them in their jump. Upon making the jump, if they fail to perform physically the marshal will determine, based on the amount bid before hand, if the character was actually able to pull off the jump. For Skills which require Skill Bids, a
character is capped at 10SP per rank of that Skill. On non-Skill related activities, a character is capped at 10SP per 10 character levels, with levels 1-9 having a cap of 10.
