Cat

Animal · 1 hex · SM -3 Cat [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Cat (SRD 5.1); Cat (SRD 3.5)]

Too small to threaten anyone and far too quiet to keep out. A house cat crosses a room without a sound, lands from heights that should hurt, and fits through gaps its shoulders say it should not. Its value at a table is as a witness and a nuisance, not as an opponent.

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/cat.gct
• Independent build total: -45 points of racial traits plus 26 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Cat (SRD 5.1); Cat (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 (primary). 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): Cat (SRD 5.1); Cat (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: -45 points across 23 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 26 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.
