Wood Elf

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

The elves of standing forest: stronger and plainer than their highland cousins, and the best war archers among them. A wood-elf settlement is invisible from the ground and has been there four hundred years. They are courteous and unhurried, and entirely willing to shoot a logging party at two hundred yards without a word first.

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.
• 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/wood-elf.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 5 ft 9 in standing, which is the SM 0 row.
• ST 11: the sturdiest of the elves 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 is stated rather than derived.
