- Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/belker.gct
- Source template total: 132 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 132 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- Issue #5: 1 special ability construction(s) restored (Smoke Claws). No disabling construction on this record carries a cost the affliction term can score.
- GCS ancestry reconciliation adjudicated: the published template total is 132 points and the parsed source children sum to 143, a difference of -11. Classified as grouped construction not decomposed — consistent with grouped abilities the prose parser did not split into individual children (alternative abilities, linked constructions, and spell or breath-weapon groups). The points are real and priced in the author's total; only the decomposition is missing. The authorized source total is preserved; the remaining manual step is opening gcs/belker.gct in GCS to replace the reconciliation child with native constructions where the grouped ability can be decomposed.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 10, PR 0, CER 10, threat tier minor.
- Conversion baseline reported OR 11, PR 0, CER 11 (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-b2-gcs-reconciliation); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- The source-total difference is classified and documented in conversionNotes; the authorized published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child.
- Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
