Humanoid (Planetouched) · 1 hex · SM +0 Tiefling (Monsters on Automatic; answers SRD 3.5)

Somebody with a fiend in the family, and everybody can tell. Tieflings run to horns, unsettling eyes, and a tail kept under a coat, and they spend their lives being blamed first. Most respond by getting very good at leaving, at talking, and at taking what they were going to be accused of taking anyway. Fire, cold and lightning trouble them less than they should.

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): Tiefling (SRD 3.5).
  • Racial template: 84 points across 9 traits, plus 5 racial skill(s) worth 24 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/tiefling.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 feet standing, which is the SM 0 row.
  • ST 10: human, like the aasimar this heading is printed beside, and for the same reason.
  • The infernal resistances cover one damage type each and are not in the published DR.
  • Appearance (Ugly) rather than a Social Stigma. The reaction a tiefling gets is to the horns rather than to a settled legal status, and Appearance is the trait that says that.
