Animated Armor

Construct · 1 hex · SM +0 Animated Armor (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 5.1)

An empty suit of plate that turns its helm toward a sound and then comes down the hall. There is nothing inside it — nothing to cut at, nothing to frighten, nobody to talk to. It was told to keep people out of a room and it is still doing that.

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Animated Armor (SRD 5.1).
• Racial template: 122 points across 22 traits, plus 1 racial skill(s) worth 4 points.
• Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
• sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
• Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
• Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template rather than authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/animated-armor.gct
• The published Move is the primary medium's cruising Move; sprint figures are stated in the movement note and not folded into it.
• Treasure and grappling are not authored for this record and ship as explicit nulls, which reads as known absent rather than forgotten; `lair` carries a short habitat note instead, because where a creature dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
• Body mass is the figure the build was scaled from and the one fact that makes it checkable; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
• A suit of plate standing 6 feet, which is the SM 0 row.
• HP is bought above ST because an object's durability is a property of its mass and construction, not of how hard it can push. FP is stated rather than derived: a thing with no metabolism would otherwise be rated as if it tired.
