| Touch of InsanityDespite being insubstantial, allips can cause temporary insanity with their touch. Any living creature that touches an allip must make a Will roll (Mind Shield provides a bonus to resist, but DR does not) or begin to hallucinate for margin of failure minutes. | — | — | C |
| BabbleWhen a creature hears the allip’s constant babble, it must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. | — | — | — |
| MadnessWhen a creature reads the mind of an allip or senses its emotions – by any method, including powers, spells, and unmodified advantages, it must roll a Fright Check. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. | — | — | — |

- Credit
- Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/allip.gct
- Source template total: 124 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 124 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- Issue #5: 2 special ability construction(s) restored (Babble, Madness) and 1 annotated with the source's stated cost. 3 save-or-disable construction(s) are scored through the affliction term at the source's stated point cost, or at Binding ST where the source builds the ability as a Binding.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 10, PR 1, CER 11, threat tier minor.
- Conversion baseline reported OR 0, PR 1, CER 1 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
- Encounter metadata derived (default): average number appearing 4, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b3-cer-tails); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- CER tail record. The rating was recomputed through the consumer CER path and the tail was read against package peers in review/reports/cer-audit.md; a floor of 1 reflects a genuinely feeble creature and a severe rating tracks the record's own HP, DR and damage.
