Oni

Giant · 2 hexes · SM +1 Oni [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: humanoid folk and their sub-races; answers Oni (SRD 5.1); Ogre Mage (SRD 3.5)]

An ogre with a sorcerer's education and centuries of practice at pretending to be somebody's neighbour. In its own shape it is a horned, blue-skinned giant with a glaive; in the shape it usually wears it is a well-liked man in a mountain village. It flies, it vanishes, it heals what you do to it, and it would rather charm the guard than fight the party.

Usage	Level	Damage	Reach
GlaiveGlaive (13): 4d+3 cutting, Reach 1,2. Kept on the wall of the house it took, and reached for without changing shape first.	13	4d+3 cutting	1,2
Cone of ColdCone of Cold (14): 6d burning, Reach Ranged, cone. A breath of killing cold across the front arc. It costs the oni to use and cannot be repeated every second.	14	6d burning	Ranged, cone
CharmCharm: Reach Ranged, 10. One person is told to stop, and rolls against Will to not. The oni much prefers this to the glaive, because a charmed guard opens the door.	—	—	Ranged, 10

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/oni.gct
• Independent build total: 437 points of racial traits plus 40 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Oni (SRD 5.1); Ogre Mage (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: 320 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); air Move 11. 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.
• Answers two headings that are one creature: Oni in SRD 5.1 and Ogre Mage in SRD 3.5. The flight comes from the older heading and is kept, because a record that answers both should be able to do what either can.
• About 3 m standing, which is the SM +1 row; Strength carries the published -10% size discount.
• ST 22 from Basic Lift, a step above the common ogre, which is the difference the older and better-fed creature earns.
• Morph is bought at published cost with a -20% limitation to humanoid forms, which is what the creature actually does. The alternative was a special rule, and a special rule is a claim rather than a build.
• The breath is marked as costing fatigue, which is meant to halve its contribution to the rating. Issue #55 records that the shared rating path drops that flag on the damage term; the flag is stated correctly here and the fix belongs in cer.mjs.
• Bad Smell and Gluttony are dropped from the ogre stock by name. An oni that could not sit at a table without being noticed could not do the only thing that makes it different from an ogre.

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): Oni (SRD 5.1); Ogre Mage (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 437 points across 17 traits, plus 6 racial skill(s) worth 40 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.
