From: "Nigel McCarty-Eigenmann" <[email protected]> Has anyone essayed a GURPS version of the Broo? Or done a Goat headed humanoid race?
I've got some Instrumentality-esque animal-based underpeople now and again. Typically their animal features arent that strong, but for a particularly goat group, I'd probably use the old FANTASY FOLK minotaur template, and swap Absolute Direction for Perfect Balance.
Advantages: Absolute Direction [5]; Acute Hearing 2 [4]; Acute Taste and Smell 2 [4]; Damage Resistance 1 (Partial, Skull Only, -70%) [2]; Damage Resistance 1 (Tough Skin, -40%) [3]; Peripheral Vision [15]; Reduced Consumption 1 (Cast Iron Stomach) [2]; Striker (Horns; Cutting; Cannot Parry, -40%) [5].
I think cutting on the horns is a bit much, unless they artificially sharpen them.
Disadvantages: Appearance (Hideous) [-16]; Bad Temper (12) [-10]; Odious Racial Habit (Will Eat Anything Organic) -2 [-10]
Hideous is more appropriate for individual appearance than racial appearance. With the horns, hair, and tail, I'd think that a goat man would be out of the uncanny valley and not creep people out with his goatlike features, but would rather look apprpriately goatlike for a being of such heritage. And like Emily said, for -10 points, they would be making a pointedly disgusting spectacle each time they eat.
