Player Identification Number. In RuneScape the engine gives every player a PID, and the lower one's actions process first. In PvP that means whoever has PID can land the first hit, eat first, or pray-switch first.

People Also Ask

Why does pid matter in PvP?

Because the player with priority acts first each tick — first to hit, first to pray-switch, first to eat. In close fights that edge decides it.
