Orc - Dungeons on Automatic Bestiary

Humanoid (Orc) · 1 hex · SM +0 Orc (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)

Broad, gray-skinned and permanently furious. Orcs raid because raiding is the shape their society has settled into and because they enjoy it. They come in numbers, close immediately, and keep coming well past the point a sensible band would have withdrawn. Daylight leaves them squinting, so the attack is nearly always at dusk.

Notes

Racial cost: 7 points of traits plus 18 points of skills.
Body weight: 200 lb.
Movement: ground Move 5 (primary).
Mail scraps and a shield are common and are not in this record's DR.
The camouflage and non-detection a svirfneblin can call are not on the stat block. Both come and go, and a GM should rule them.

Where this one came from

Source record: Orc [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: humanoid folk and their sub-races]
Source system: doa_fixture / doa_authored
Released under: cc_by_4_0
Conversion: 0.1.0-srd-independent-build
Review status: approved
Credit: Monster statistics, ratings and description prose by Monsters on Automatic; AI-generated first draft, project-reviewed, released under CC BY 4.0.
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): Orc (SRD 5.1); Orc (SRD 3.5).
Racial template: 7 points across 8 traits, plus 5 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.
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/orc.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 6 ft 1 in standing, which is the SM 0 row.
ST 13 from Basic Lift: heavier and broader than a man of the same height, carrying loot out at a jog.
Bloodlust and Bad Temper together are why the fight does not end when it should, and both are published disadvantages rather than prose.
Light sensitivity is on the encounter block. See the deep dwarf's note for why it is not a trait.
