>>1. What is the maximun running speed for both animals.?
> Bison: 8*2 = 16; Sable 9*2 = 18
>
>>2. what effect does dex have on total speed?
> The animal with the earlier DEX begins running sooner. Once
>they're running, I'm not sure DEX would matter except to avoid
>obstacles.

>>2. Can the bison ever catch the sables assuming a standing start?
> Yes, but not very often. Real sables are faster than bison, too.

>>3. does the bison have more stamina?
> Yes. Eventually, if the sables can't lose the bisons, they
>will get tired and forced to turn and fight.
>

Average Sable fatigue is 36, Bison is 60. I was looking in monster coliseum for some help

>>4. I have also assumed that the bison does not have as good
>acceleration as the sable. true??
> Yes -- this is seen by their respective DEXes, but if you
>wanted to get picky, the mass of the bison is so much greater than a
>sable that it has a strong effect, too. (Partly simulated in RQ by
>the lower DEX.)
>
>>6. How far can a large tribe of bison travel in a day?
> Depends on the season.
