DespairWhen a creature sees the mummy, it must roll a Fright Check at a -2 penalty using the Despair table (Pyramid #3-92, p. 29). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
Mummy RotAny creature that touches the mummy with its bare skin must make a successful HT-4 roll or contact mummy rot. This is both a curse and a disease that can only be removed by Remove Curse. This magical affliction sets in one day after contact, dealing 1d-2 toxic damage every day for 60 days.no roll1d-2 toxicC

Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/mummy.gct
  • Source template total: 230 points.
  • Library-rebuilt template total: 230 points.
  • CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
  • Issue #5: 2 special ability construction(s) restored (Despair, Mummy Rot). 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 8, PR 19, CER 27, threat tier standard.
  • Conversion baseline reported OR 3, PR 19, CER 22 (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 (default): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 3. Appearing count capped at 2 because this creature carries a save-or-disable attack that the CER path does not price; the rating understates how dangerous a group of them is. 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-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
  • Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
