Is it possible to create bones along a spline? I've heard buzz words about this spline ik stuff, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for. I can't find much documentation about it. So if anyone has any ideas I'm just trying to draw bones to follow the curvature of a spline.

Thanks-

Check out the Spline IK in Max 5.

There are multiple methods of approaching this, but the easiest is to create a bone chain and assign it Spline IK, which creates a spline and specific number of helpers along the spline, which are used to control the spline.

Other scripts allow you to draw bones, draw a spline, then connect the two.
