Animal · 1 hex · SM +0 Goat [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Goat (SRD 5.1)]

Livestock, sacrifice, and the single most escape-prone animal any village owns. A goat eats what is left, climbs what it should not, and butts anyone who bends over near it. As an encounter it is scenery; as a plot device it is whatever the party tied it to and forgot.

Notes

  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/goat.gct
  • Independent build total: -110 points of racial traits plus 6 points of racial skills.
  • Answers the SRD heading(s): Goat (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.
  • Movement: ground Move 5 (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.
  • Added after a post-hoc comparison against independent GURPS fan conversions of this creature: Peripheral Vision. The comparison surfaced the gap; the build is still ours.

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): Goat (SRD 5.1).
  • Racial template: -110 points across 17 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 6 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.
