Alright Bison Update<br/><br/>Something seems curious about the 50 gp cost of bison in Pathfinder.  That a significantly larger, significantly less domesticated herd animal is 2/3 the cost of a light riding horse (75 gp) makes me think there's some errata involved.<br/><br/>However let's go with as written.<br/><br/>Even based on it being uncommon. Let's say you guys find a bison to purchase at the Bazaar of Sails in the Dockway.<br/><br/>50 gp for the bison.<br/><br/>Another 10 gp for the harness for a large animal (8 gp) so you can lead it about as well as the bit and bridle.(2 gp)<br/><br/>A riding saddle for a bison is not the standard type so that is 30 gp.  If you're looking for a double saddle then you're looking at 60 gp.<br/><br/>Riding the bison without a saddle is doable but ill advised.  It won't feel good at the end of a day's journey and Animal Handling checks while mounted will be problematic for the rider(s)<br/><br/>Feed is 5 cp per day. I'm basing that off of the cost for a horse and I'm assuming it's roughly the same.<br/><br/>When you get to Sandpoint or when journeying.  Stabling such a large creature will be anywhere from. 5 sp to 1 gp a day. And that's if the stablemaster is fine with it being in with the horses.  Probably not a problem.<br/><br/><br/>So...<br/><br/>60 gp gets you a bison with a harness and a bit and bridle.  (Which is pretty bananas considering a more common horse is a good deal more)<br/><br/>That price doesn't include a saddle, nor feed, nor a means to carry said feed.<br/><br/>Saddle bags start to drive that cost up.<br/><br/>As an aside...<br/><br/>A bison is going to be pretty difficult for you guys to manage during a good many parts of this adventure.<br/><br/>You guys also get to deal with an angry Lutsag because you kept him waiting an additional hour to an hour and a half while you're out on Operation Get Bison<br/><br/><br/>You guys make the call and then we move the ball further up the field.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
