Mountain Dwarf

Humanoid (Dwarf) · 1 hex · SM -1 Mountain Dwarf (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5)

The dwarves who stayed where the sun still reaches: hold-builders, smiths, and soldiers by inclination. A mountain dwarf finds a warm body 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.

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.
• 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/mountain-dwarf.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 4 ft 6 in standing, which is the SM -1 row.
• ST 11 from the dwarf stock, which is Basic Lift for a heavy, short-limbed frame at 165 lb.
• 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.
