Bear, Polar

Animal · 3 hexes · SM +2 Bear, Polar [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Polar Bear (SRD 5.1); Bear, Polar (SRD 3.5)]

The only bear that hunts people on purpose. It crosses open ice at a walk, yellow-white against white, and swims stretches of freezing water that would kill anything it is following. Nothing about the cold slows it, and it has learned that a camp on the ice is a larder that cannot run far.

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/polar-bear.gct
• Independent build total: 31 points of racial traits plus 14 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Polar Bear (SRD 5.1); Bear, Polar (SRD 3.5). 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.
• Movement: ground Move 6, 9 at a sprint (primary); water Move 6. The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
• 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.

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): Polar Bear (SRD 5.1); Bear, Polar (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 31 points across 24 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 14 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.
