Encounter: Giant Killer Frog!

Heheheheheheh
This is a quickie, but it folds into my concept of building up a few monsters for the next Five Room Dungeon. Basically, I'm gonna use the scaling rules from GURPS: Fantasy combined with this guy right here. Let's see what we get.

I just want an SM+2 frog. This guy is originally SM-2, so we need to increase its size by 100 times. Using the formula from p.51 of GURPS: Fantasy, we multiply its stats by approximately 4.6 to get what we want. Easy peasy!We get a stat sheet that looks like this:
ST: 57HP: 57Speed: 6
DX: 11Will: 9Move: 8
IQ: 3Per: 9Weight: 1,000 lbs
HT: 13FP: 13SM: +2
Dodge: 10Parry: 10DR: 1
Bite (13): 7d+2 cutting. Reach C.
Claws (13): 7d+2 crushing. Reach C.
Traits: Chummy; Combat Reflexes; Discriminatory Smell; Night Vision 3; No Fine Manipulators; Penetrating Voice; Semi-Upright; Super Jump 1 (26-yard jump); Wild Animal.
Skills: Brawling-13; Jumping-13; Stealth-12.
Class: Giant Animal

This guy has 40 CER from his attack and 47 from HP. The original values of the original sized are 4 and 2, respectively, meaning we have +40 OR, and +45 PR for a total of OR 48 and 56 PR, or 104 CER altogether.

I think the damage is a bit much, so, I'll limit it to 2d+3 through the power of GM FIAT! Let's also add a binding just because a frog without a binding is really missing a point, I think.


ST: 26HP: 26Speed: 6
DX: 11Will: 9Move: 8
IQ: 3Per: 9Weight: 1,000 lbs
HT: 13FP: 13SM: +2
Dodge: 10Parry: 10DR: 1
Bite (13): 2d+3 cutting. Reach C.
Claws (13): 2d+3 crushing. Reach C.
Tongue Grapple (13): Reach C-50. The tongue is an "extra arm" which can only grapple. It has a basic lift of 34 lbs for the purpose of retracting with food. While the tongue is extended and wrapped, it has the same stats to hit and injure as an arm (-2 to hit, 13+ hit points to disable).
Traits: Chummy; Combat Reflexes; Extra Arm (Very Very Long, Extra-Flexible, Weak 1/2 Strength), Discriminatory Smell; Night Vision 3; No Fine Manipulators; Penetrating Voice; Semi-Upright; Super Jump 1 (26-yard jump); Wild Animal.
Skills: Brawling-13; Jumping-13; Stealth-12.
Class: Giant Animal

This gives a 15 CER for damage,  which is +15 OR and +14 PR, which is a total of 23 OR and 25 PR, and 47 CER altogether, adding the binding is a 26-point addition, or 73 CER in total.


Other Thoughts and Closing

I've created two new monsters in very little time just by making a giant. This guy could do a ton of slam damage technically, but it's not in its move list. The weak version could do over 6d crushing, and the regular version could do almost 15d crushing by doing a slam... but slam isn't in its move list, unless you want it to be. Apply Weaker to its arm if you want it to not be able to.

I think I want to start copying some of my statted encounters to the wiki I linked, but I kinda also want to link back to the blog post where I wrote them up. Anyone know if that is OK (I think I've seen some examples from +Daniel that linked to the original forum post where he created some)?
