Three metres of appetite with a club. Ogres are slow, stupid, foul-tempered and enormously strong, and the arithmetic of a fight with one is simple: it will hit somebody eventually, and when it does that person stops being a combatant. They take toll on roads, eat what they take, and are not open to a second offer.

Notes

  • GCS ancestry draft: gcs/ogre.gct
  • Independent build total: 48 points of racial traits plus 18 points of racial skills.
  • Answers the SRD heading(s): Ogre (SRD 5.1); Ogre (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: 300 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 2.9 m standing, which is the SM +1 row; Strength carries the published -10% size discount.
  • ST 20 from Basic Lift: it picks a man up one-handed and throws him, which is the ogre encounter in one sentence.
  • DX 9 is deliberate and is half the creature. It hits like a falling wall and it is genuinely easy to not be there, and a party that stands still is choosing to be hit.
  • DR 2 is hide. Ogres wear hides rather than armour, so this record's published DR is what it actually has.

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): Ogre (SRD 5.1); Ogre (SRD 3.5).
  • Racial template: 48 points across 13 traits, plus 4 racial skill(s) worth 18 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.
