Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/homunculus.gct
  • Source template total: -115 points.
  • Library-rebuilt template total: -115 points.
  • CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
  • Issue #5: 0 special ability construction(s) restored and 1 annotated with the source's stated cost. 1 save-or-disable construction(s) are scored through the affliction term at the source's stated point cost, or at Binding ST where the source builds the ability as a Binding.
  • CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 0, PR 4, CER 4, threat tier minor.
  • Conversion baseline reported OR -5, PR 4, CER 1 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
  • Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
  • Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
  • Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b3-cer-tails); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
  • CER tail record. The rating was recomputed through the consumer CER path and the tail was read against package peers in review/reports/cer-audit.md; a floor of 1 reflects a genuinely feeble creature and a severe rating tracks the record's own HP, DR and damage.
