Humanoid (Elf) · 1 hex · SM +0 Gray Elf (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5)
The high, thin, silver-haired kind, and the most insufferable. Gray elves live in mountain valleys reading things nobody else can, decline to explain themselves, and are genuinely as clever as they behave. They are also slight, and quite aware that this is why they took up magic. Spells cast at one tend to slide off.

| Usage | Level | Damage | Reach |
|---|---|---|---|
| LongbowLongbow (13): 1d+2 impaling, Reach Ranged, 200. A tall bow drawn to the ear. The damage is the bow's, which is why a slight archer is not a weak one. | 13 | 1d+2 impaling | Ranged, 200 |
| LongswordLongsword (12): 1d-1 cutting, Reach 1. Worn as a matter of form for a century at a time, and still perfectly well handled. | 12 | 1d-1 cutting | 1 |

- 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): Gray Elf (SRD 3.5).
- Racial template: 79 points across 13 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 20 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/gray-elf.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 5 ft 7 in standing, which is the SM 0 row.
- ST 8: the frailest of the folk, and it is the point of the record. A gray elf that could win a wrestling match would not need the rest of what it is.
- The longbow states literal dice, which is why a ST 8 archer is still worth avoiding.
