Warhorse, Heavy

Animal · 3 hexes · SM +2 Warhorse, Heavy [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Warhorse (SRD 5.1); Warhorse, Heavy (SRD 3.5)]

A destrier: bred heavy, trained not to shy from fire, steel or screaming, and taught to fight from under a rider. It costs more than most people's houses and is worth it, because it will carry a charge home into a line that is trying very hard to stop it. It is also foul-tempered on the ground.

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/heavy-warhorse.gct
• Independent build total: 15 points of racial traits plus 4 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Warhorse (SRD 5.1); Warhorse, Heavy (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.
• Movement: ground Move 6, 12 at a sprint (primary). The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
• 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.
• The light warhorse the 3.5 corpus prints separately is this record ridden lighter; use the same statistics and drop the barding.
• Added after a post-hoc comparison against independent GURPS fan conversions of this creature: Peripheral Vision. The comparison surfaced the gap; the build is still ours.

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): Warhorse (SRD 5.1); Warhorse, Heavy (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 15 points across 21 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 4 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.
