Editing SOTDL: Miscellany (section)

==Resource Bidding==
PBP format doesn't lend itself to Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it. This means the Cortex Prime's baked-in bidding aspect of spending various resources on a roll kinda drops off. Instead, I find it helpful for players to indicate (if you are able) how many PP/HD you are willing to spend (if any) to succeed on the roll. I will do my best to make sure those resources are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome.

If I am willing (presuming I have the PP to burn) to spend enough GMPP that you cannot succeed, I will let you know that so you don't have to burn PP if you don't want to on a failed action (though you always have the option to spend your PP to force me to spend mine in those situations).

If I am requiring an action of you (defending vs an attack, random notice check, etc) I will roll stakes so you know what you are rolling against, and I will tell you up front what PP I am willing to spend, if any. Otherwise, I don't generally pre-roll for actions I think you ''might'' take no matter how obvious it may seem, because I don't want to influence how you choose to act in a scene.

If you would earn pp for using an SFX (including Hinder), you may spend that pp on the roll that earned it. Likewise if the GM buys a rolled hitch.
