One thing I've considered is to also use certain minimum bids (plus a handicap) for special tricks, that possibly only skilled users would attempt (talking about combat specifically).
Frex trying to disarm the opponent (without having a special skill, which I guess is always a possibility) - you might have to have a minimum of 15AP bid, with a handicap of 10, meaning that 1) you have to be pretty good to even bother trying 2) a success will effectively either end the contest or impose a significant handicap on the opponent for all subsequent exchanges. A failure could screw you completely.
Does this make sense? What are the ramifications of this?
