White Dragon - Dungeons on Automatic Bestiary

White Dragon top-down flat-top hex token

Dragon (Cold) · SM +3 White Dragon (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5)

A muscular dragon scaled in pearl-white and pale blue, with a low wedge of a head, backward-swept horns like ice crystal and a long spined tail. It swims and climbs as readily as it flies, breathes a killing cold, and is the least clever and most direct of its kind about what it wants and how it intends to take it.

Breathe FrostBreathe Frost (14): The dragon breathes out a blast of extremely cold vapor, dealing thrust 2d non-incendiary burning damage as large-area injury. Targets injured by this attack must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or take a -2 penalty to DX and become Numb (p. B146) for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute). This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 5 yards (ST/5). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10). It will blow out any ordinary fire (candle, lantern, torch, etc.).	14	The dragon breathes out a blast of extremely cold vapor, dealing thrust 2d non-incendiary burning damage as large-area injury.

Where this one came from

Source record: White Dragon
Source system: gurps_4e_fan_conversion / author_permission
Released under: cc_by_4_0
Conversion: 0.2.0-reviewed
Review status: approved
Credit: Original GURPS conversion by Enraged Eggplant, from Monsters (May 11, 2024); adapted and republished with permission.
Description: Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

GCS ancestry draft: gcs/white-dragon.gct
Source template total: 658 points.
Library-rebuilt template total: 660 points.
CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
GCS cost adjudication for "Clinging (Specific, Ice, -60%)": the source states 6 points and the native GCS library computes 8. Adopted the native library value of 8. Clinging is 20 points (B43); at -60% it is 8. The stated 6 prices a -70% construction.
CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 34, PR 38, CER 72, threat tier major.
Conversion baseline reported OR 35, PR 38, CER 73 (tier major). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
Encounter metadata derived (solitary): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 2. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b1-gcs-costs); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
Every exact-identity cost discrepancy on this record is adjudicated against the published GURPS cost table in review/reports/gcs-adjudication.md; the adopted value and its basis are recorded in conversionNotes.
Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
