Gnoll

Humanoid (Gnoll) · 1 hex · SM +0 Gnoll (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)

Hyena-headed raiders who hunt in packs and take the long way around to come in behind. Gnolls will follow a scent for days, they are audibly delighted by a fight going their way, and they stop to eat before it is properly over. A camp they have been through can be found from a long way off by smell.

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): Gnoll (SRD 5.1); Gnoll (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 80 points across 12 traits, plus 6 racial skill(s) worth 22 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/gnoll.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.
• About 7 feet standing, which reads on the SM 0 row rather than the +1 row at 9 feet.
• ST 13 from Basic Lift: a gnoll carries a laden pack and a stolen goat across a day's open ground.
• Discriminatory Smell with Tracking bought on top of it. The trait is the nose; the skill is what it does with a two-day-old trail, and a gnoll that had one without the other would not be the thing that follows a caravan for a week.
