Humanoid (Dwarf) · 1 hex · SM -1 Mountain Dwarf [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: humanoid folk and their sub-races; answers Mountain Dwarf (SRD 3.5)]
The dwarves who stayed where the sun still reaches: hold-builders, smiths and by inclination soldiers. A mountain dwarf sees warm bodies in an unlit gallery, walks all day under a load that would fell a taller man, and holds a grudge with the same steady competence it brings to everything else. They fight in ranks and they do not give ground.

Notes
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/mountain-dwarf.gct
- Independent build total: 52 points of racial traits plus 22 points of racial skills.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Mountain Dwarf (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: 75 kg. ST, Size Modifier and DR are checked against it; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
- Movement: ground Move 4 (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 1.4 m standing, which is the SM -1 row.
- ST 11 from the dwarf stock, which is Basic Lift for a heavy, short-limbed frame at 75 kg.
- Infravision rather than Dark Vision, and the difference is the creature. A mountain dwarf finds a warm body in an unlit gallery; a deep dwarf reads the rock face itself, which is why that record buys the more expensive sense.
- Mail and a shield are the usual kit and are not in this record's DR. See decision 11 in the build policy.

- 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): Mountain Dwarf (SRD 3.5).
- Racial template: 52 points across 11 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 22 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.
