Awakened Tree

Plant · 5 hexes · SM +3 Awakened Tree [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: constructs, animated objects and awakened plants; answers Awakened Tree (SRD 5.1)]

Six metres of oak that has opinions. An awakened tree moves at a walking pace it can sustain for days and hits like a falling beam, and it is generally not hostile — but it has watched the wood for a long time and it knows exactly who has been cutting.

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/awakened-tree.gct
• Independent build total: 255 points of racial traits plus 4 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Awakened Tree (SRD 5.1). Only the creature identity is taken from the SRD; the GURPS statistics, ratings and prose are this project's own work and reproduce no SRD text.
• Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template, not authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
• Body mass used to scale this build: 3000 kg. ST, Size Modifier and DR are checked against it; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
• Movement: ground Move 2 (primary). The published Move is the primary medium's cruising Move; sprint figures are stated here and not folded into it.
• Treasure and grappling are not authored for this batch and ship as explicit nulls; `lair` carries a short habitat note, because where a wandering animal dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
• About six metres, which is the SM +3 row.
• ST from Basic Lift: it lifts and moves timber, which is the heaviest thing it does.
• DX 6 is the point of the creature. It hits enormously hard and is trivially easy to avoid, and a party that stands still is making a choice.

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): Awakened Tree (SRD 5.1).
• Racial template: 255 points across 15 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.
