Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I'll start with racial templates, to be followed by "stat blocks" for "generic warriors" from these races, intended for quick monster encounters.

The racial templates do not include Social Stigmas or racial Appearance penalties, despite most of these races having charisma penalties in DnD. I leave these up to GMs because it varies campaign to campaign how these would be applied. An orc in a demihuman centered campaign would probably have Appearance (Ugly) and anything from Social Stigma (Minority group) down to Social Stigma (Monster). An orc in an 'evil humanoid' game might have neither.

I've 'converted' them from the 3.5 SRD, and about the only systematic thing I did was base their Strength on the weight listed for them in the SRD. In general DX and IQ bonuses and penalties were 1/2 the modifier the race got in D&D. Con bonuses were turned into a combination of extra HP and extra HT, leaning towards the HP to avoid having a monster that just can't fail death checks. The rest is a hodgepodge based on instinct, writeup of attributes in DnD, and things I thought the race should have had but didn't (Kobold tails as strikers, Gnolls getting sharp teeth and bite strength...)

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Hmm. Couple things. First, shouldn't this be in the general GURPS forum? Unless you're asking us to put the templates into a datafile... :-)
Second, wouldn't Tough Skin be a better modifier for the kobolds' DR than Flexible?

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Aaagh, wrong forum! Ieee!

Um, can we get a mod to move this? I'm a moron :P

Re Kobolds - It was the best thing I could think of to differentiate scales vs leathery skin.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Hmm. I dunno - most of the pictures and descriptions I've read of them suggest that the scales aren't that thick. I'd probably rule that they were pretty scratchable, myself. But, of course, YMMV. :-)

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Of course, now that we're in the CORRECT forum, I'll continue posting monsters... ;)

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Hi Bruno:

Very good work. Adding standard equipment is also a good idea!

I am keeping this in my HD. If you still have material, please go on! I love it.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

No melee weapon for the kobold warrior? Not even a light club?

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I'm afraid whenever I look at the Kobolds and think of them meleeing, I find myself wondering "What, exactly, is the point?" So I forgot >.>

I probably should have given the little guys Brawling for their striker tails, too, and write up it's damage, actually. I'll go edit the original entry.

EDIT: Done.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

That's understandable. Probably you were thinking about the all-dreaded Kobolds from Baldur's Gate (*sniff*), which could be portrait well by giving them Telescopic Vision 5 and the Bow skill at 18+.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Very nice work, which I'm certain to use.

I've even got a mini-setting they'll come in handy for.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Gasp! I could use Code tags for the weapon blocks! That's BRILLIANT.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Some good work here. Isn't there a template thread somewhere that can use these? If not, then this could be the start of a very long thread with templates in it from everyone...

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Since it's "automatic" I guess so. It is at least as appropriate as racially learned skills.
According to the Monster Manual, yes.
Any non-barbarians (and maybe commoners, I can't recall if they are explicitly illiterate or not).

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I'm not sure it's a racially learnt skill, frankly.

Don't take it too literally. The Monster Manual concerns itself with monsters for the PCs to kill. Noncombatants are not discussed much.

Actually, there has never been a ruling on any NPC class on its literacy. I've been considering writing to Sage Advice about this very topic.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I think trolls would qualify for Social Stigma (Monster) [-15].

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

If that's really supposed to be a D&D troll, it wouldn't have any vulnerabilities, but would have Unkillable 2 (Achilles Heel: Fire or Acid), and the inability to regenerate damage from those sources.

This is important flavor; not mechanical nit-picking. Your troll could be killed if you only managed to inflict any sort of damage faster than it's regeneration. In D&D, you have no such luxury: use fire or acid, or it WILL come back, and in a way best represented by Unkillable 2. Furthermore, if your troll took a torch to the eyes, it would take less damage to blind it, but they would then regrow almost immediately. In D&D, fire and acid damage to a troll heals only as fast as it would without regeneration. Hence, Regrowth would not be limited, but Regeneration would have some sort of accessibility limitation. Maybe you could give it some much slower version for that sort of damage if you still want it to be able to regenerate such damage fairly quickly, but it should still be too slow to make a difference in a single combat encounter.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Actually, D&D trolls can be drowned, suffocated, starved, or poisoned to death - these kill by means other than damage, so regeneration won't stop them.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Most if not all of the races in the thread would, but I deliberately left it and various Appearance related traits out because they do tend to be relative - and also largely irrelevant if you're using them as cannon-fodder.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Very nice work! I have only the tiniest of quibbles: I don't think any level of Cowardice is appropriate for Hobgoblins. They're more disciplined and militaristic than their goblin kin. A bit of Bully or even Sense of Duty might be an appropriate substitute.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Unless the campaign is troll-centric I think they're always going to be 'monsters', even if your game centres around orcs and bugbears - it's not like trolls are fussy about what they eat, or care even a little about the stuff of civilisation.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Personally, I think anything large, strong and well armed should be a "monster". Even if it doesn't have some inherent reason to kill you. A gold dragon is a "monster", as is a Tiger, Troll or Golem. Not all of them are going to try to kill you, but they are all frikken scary.

It's alot like heavy machinery. You may not be much bothered by a landmower, but a combine is going to scare the crap outta most people.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Ahh, that is true. So I guess we would need Unkillable 2 with a LOT of Achilles' Heels in order to properly capture the "You will never be able to kill it with a plain sword no matter how fast and hard you stab it" thing they have going.

Though of course this only matters if you need trolls as enemies, allies, or PCs. Otherwise point total can be ignored and you can just roll with what you know should happen.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Why not give them lots of HTK and high HT. A combo of that to about 20ish should make a troll pretty much impossible to kill. Throw in some kind of injury tolerance, and then with a trolls rapid regeneration, it'll be pretty hard to keep them down.

I never worried too much about fire with trolls. Whack'em with a greatsword untill they drop, then coup de grace them with a torch. Works wonders.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

The AD&D 2nd ed. had some interesting cultural input about trolls. I remember how proper politeness required a large bite hello with an, "Eh. It'll grow back." It's not their fault that most creatures took undue offense.
Like sharks they inspected things by eating part of it. Again, not their fault that most property owners took offense to losing part of their wagons, cows, or children.
The 3rd ed. stuff seems quite a bit more morbid with respect with trolls. Parents bite off toddlers' limbs to show them that life and regeneration is painful and not to be wusses.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Very good, I will find these monstrous dudes very useful indeed. Good Job!

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Where's that from? I don't remember trolls beign described as much more than appetites.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

The 3rd. edition "Slayer's Guide to Trolls".

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Ah. See, that's not D&D - that's a 3rd party D20 licensed supplement, and therefore not part of the core creature description.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

About the troll.
what about unhealing limited to fire/acid?

shouldnt there be at least one extra attack?

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

oh, i forgot
it is great work. you save me a lot of time by sharing your stuff. thanks a lot!

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Where did you get Duplicate Attack from? I'm aware of the Alternate Attack from Powers, but I don't recall seeing Duplicate Attack anywhere.

Assuming it's like Alternate Attack, if you're trying to model 2 horns in the off chance someone will try to attack/remove one of the horns, then this implementation wouldn't work. With Alternate Attack, if one of the attacks is negated, then all of them are negated. So if the Minotaur somehow loses one of the horns (for whatever reason), then the Minotaur couldn't attack with the other horn.

My suggestion; you could buy both for full price with Link, +20% thereby giving your Minotaur the ability to impale PC's with either or both horns as required.

Great work, btw.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

This is what I'm getting for working from memory. I was thinking of if you have an ability under two powers. Or I could just be confused.

The weapon pods on the robot in the basic set are sort of what I was thinking of, and they get no discount at all.

I think you could do taht with a Dual Weapon Attack anyways.

EDIT: or did you mean getting to do two horn attacks with one attack roll?

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

This is great stuff.
Keep it coming.

It would be grand if a template wizard could put all these into a file.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Yup, two horns, one roll. Ouch.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Here's something similar from one of my worlds. Not strictly from the D&D books, but since I haven't played since 2ed AD&D in 1990-1991(?) that's not really surprising. Recently updated (I love the Dark Vision accessibility).

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

How does that matter? D&D 3rd+ is so internally inconsistant and errata laden as to render the concept of canon vs. non-canon a little silly.
It's a game. There is no such thing as canon.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

If you stick to the core books it's actually quite a tight system.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

... you know, there are about ten billion star trek fans that would argue with that train of logic. Just because the original source has no organizing central rhyme or reason, doesn't mean that a fan-written Spock/Kirk slashfic is cannonical.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I'm not saying that they are as half-a**ed as White Wolf products, which I still enjoyed in a "pick and choose what I like, and disgard the rest" way.
:)

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

I could only enjoy ST by pretending that each episode was a seperate parallel universe with unique laws and histories.
Unless there is a single author, or unequivocal basis like what's on the screen is "true", the concept of canon just falls flat, in my opinion.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

There are, however, degrees of "cannon", if you will. There's seriously internally consistent stuff, "Hard cannon" if you like, then there's Star Trek level consistency ("soft cannon"), which is fuzzier, but still has borders.

Slashfic between two consistently unromantically involved characters who are consistently defined as being completely uninterested in each other falls well outside even the hazy borders of soft cannon. Perhaps a better example would be Spock/Bones slashfic... ;)

It's very very unusual that anyone ever considers 3rd party products produced in isolation and without consultation of the 'origin' material to be canonical in any sense whatsoever. Some items might get the 'cannon' blessing after the fact if the 'official' sources like it (I think Star Wars extended universe works a little like this) but it still takes special intervention.

Re: Some standard DnD-style humanoids in GURPS
 

Not strictly in topic here, but these vermin are DnD style. Actually, I whipped them up a while ago for a Temple of Apshai influenced dungeon crawl. I've cleaned them up a bit and put them here in case someone else can use them.

Giant Praying Mantis' are around 9 feet in length and are excellent solitary predators. They stand perfectly still until prey comes within range, at which point they grapple (usually for the torso), after which the prey is attacked with the bite (often aimed at the neck). They can also carry off anyone of ST 11 or less or anyone they have managed to pin (pg 371). They can also attempt to crush the torso of anyone of Size 0 or less (see Choke, pg 371).

Giant Wasps are will attack anything that looks even remotely like food. They are known to be very aggressive, often continuing to sting prey long after it has stopped moving. Their usual method of attack is to grapple their prey (preferably from above and by surprise) and then repeatedly stabbing with their stinger. If they can carry their foe into the air, they will (pg 371).
