Half-Orc - Dungeons on Automatic Bestiary

Humanoid (Orc) · 1 hex · SM +0 Half-Orc [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: humanoid folk and their sub-races; answers Half-Orc (SRD 3.5)]

Stronger than a man, tougher than a man, and treated worse than either parent's people would treat a stranger. Half-orcs make excellent soldiers and are hired as such by everyone who then declines to drink with them. The temper is real and mostly earned, and it is the reason the arrangement rarely lasts a full season.

Notes

GCS ancestry draft: gcs/half-orc.gct
Independent build total: -14 points of racial traits plus 20 points of racial skills.
Answers the SRD heading(s): Half-Orc (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.
Body mass used to scale this build: 90 kg. ST, Size Modifier and DR are checked against it; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
Movement: ground Move 5 (primary). The published Move is the primary medium's cruising Move; sprint figures are stated here and not folded into it.
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.
About 1.9 m standing, which is the SM 0 row.
ST 12 from Basic Lift: heavier through the shoulder than a human of the same height and correspondingly stronger.
Social Stigma is bought at published cost rather than written only into the prose. It is the mechanical fact of the creature's life and it belongs in the point total.
IQ 9 is inherited frame, not judgement about the person. A half-orc with a scholar's IQ is an ordinary character build on top of this template.

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-Orc (SRD 3.5).
Racial template: -14 points across 7 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.
