Humanoid (Elf) · 1 hex · SM +0 Wood Elf [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: humanoid folk and their sub-races; answers Wood Elf (SRD 3.5)]
The elves of standing forest: stronger and plainer than their highland cousins, and the best war archers of any of them. A wood elf settlement is invisible from the ground and has been there four hundred years. They are courteous, unhurried, and entirely willing to shoot a logging party at two hundred yards without a word first.

Notes
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/wood-elf.gct
- Independent build total: 75 points of racial traits plus 36 points of racial skills.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Wood Elf (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: 60 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). 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.
- About 1.75 m standing, which is the SM 0 row.
- ST 11: the sturdiest of the elves in this batch and the only one above human Strength, which is why it draws the heaviest bow here.
- The elf stock's Health penalty is kept, unlike the wild elf's. A wood elf lives in a built settlement with a roof on it, and the frailty its cousins share is not something forest life removes.
- The bow's literal dice are a step above the gray elf's for the same weapon class, because it is a heavier bow. That is the whole reason missile damage in this batch is stated rather than derived.

- 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): Wood Elf (SRD 3.5).
- Racial template: 75 points across 12 traits, plus 5 racial skill(s) worth 36 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.
