If it manages to do so, it will savage the victim immediately. \n'b'  Subsequent Rounds -If the dire cheetah fails to  knock  a target  prone , it will continue to run and return with another charge. It resists coming to a stop if possible unless it has downed prey. \n'b' ABOUT \n'b' This large, sleek feline resembles its smaller cousin but with serrated claws and impressive fangs the size of long knives. The dire cheetah can obtain astounding ground speeds when chasing prey. \n'b' The dire cheetah combines the speed of its lesser cousin with the brutal force of a much more powerful creature. The claws are longer, sharper, and serrated. The body is sleek, speedy, and heavy enough to  knock  its prey  prone . This leads many to attempt to create an ultimate hunting beast through breeding and training, but this has mixed results as the wild and unpredictable nature is nigh impossible to eradicate from the offspring. \n'b'\n'b' d4 \n'b' Dire Cheetah Treasure \n'b'\n'b' 1 \n'b' +2 Arrows (d12) \n'b'\n'b' 2 \n'b' Silver Spear (100 gp) \n'b'\n'b' 3 \n'b' Slashed pouch with 40 gp 4 Necklace of agates and amethysts (25 gp)'
