Freshly-spawned characters (e.g. in the arena or when generating an adventurer) start out with slightly random attributes. Comparing a single female to a single male sample is utterly meaningless. I spawned thirteen humans of each sex in the arena, all with full iron armour and no skill. Speeds varied a lot (0.348 to 0.786) and i couldn't see a systematic bias in favour of either sex. Cannot reproduce. |

Yeah, I've never seen any evidence of stat differences being assigned at the caste level (which is what states out sexes, as well as worker-soldier-queen divisions for eusocial insects and bug-people). And even if that were so, it would be sensible for reptile woman, depending on the species they're modeled after. :V |

Feel free to reopen if that doesn't explain it. |
