Humanoid (Elf) · 1 hex · SM +0 Half-Elf (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5)

Human enough to live in a human town and elven enough that nobody there forgets it. Half-elves get a century and a half rather than a millennium, see well by starlight, hear the conversation at the next table, and are very hard to lie to. Most of them end up as the person two communities send to talk to each other.

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): Half-Elf (SRD 3.5).
  • Racial template: 41 points across 7 traits, plus 5 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/half-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 9 in standing, which is the SM 0 row.
  • ST 10: human, and the build says so.
  • Deliberately not built on the elf stock. A half-elf sleeps, ages in centuries rather than millennia, and hears and sees only partway toward what the elf traits buy — restating the partial inheritance is honest where inheriting the full set and subtracting would not be.
