阴魂生物Shade
区域:安诺奥克沙漠
等级调整:+4
Region: Anauroch.
Level Adjustment: +4.
两千多年前,耐色瑞尔的一个浮空城的统治者,为了探索那昏暗而危险阴影位面,把整个城市都带进了这个位面中。数千年来,这座阴影之城被人类所遗忘,但在1372 DR,它突然回到了费伦的凶暴树林上空。如今,它高高地矗立在安诺奥克沙漠之上,这片土地曾是耐色瑞尔帝国富饶的一部分。耐瑟瑞尔人——现在被称为阴魂人(Shadovar)——回来的原因,以及他们的计划,是困扰费伦各国统治者的两个谜团。大多数人担心这两个谜团的答案是他们不愿意听到的。在那之前,阴魂人的计划是秘密的,他们的真正目标对除了他们的统治者——至高亲王泰拉曼特(Telamont)和他的十二个儿子,阴魂城的王子——之外的所有人来说都是一个谜。
Over two thousand years ago, the ruler of a Netherese flying city transported his entire city onto the Plane of Shadow in order to explore that dim and perilous plane. For thousands of years, the City of Shade was lost to human knowledge, but in 1372 DR it abruptly returned to Faerun above the Dire Wood. Today it soars above the deserts of Anauroch, land that was once a fertile part of the Empire of Netheril. Why the Netherese— now known as the Shadovars—returned, and what they are planning, are two mysteries that trouble the rulers of every nation in Faerun. Most fear that solving these vital riddles will provide them with answers they will not care to hear. Until then, the Shadovars scheme in secret, their true goals a mystery to all but their ruler, the High Prince Telamont, and his twelve sons, the Princes of Shade.
并非所有的阴魂人都是阴魂生物。阴影城的王子决定了谁将得到这样的祝福,他们吝啬于他们的恩惠,小心翼翼地只授权给那些肯定忠于他们和他们的事业的人。未来阴魂生物的候选人要严格的经过能力、忠诚和谋略的测试。
Not all Shadovars are shades. The Princes of Shade decide who is to be given such a blessing, and they are stingy with their favors, careful to only empower those who are sure to be loyal to them and their causes. Prospective candidates are stringently tested for ability, loyalty, and resourcefulness.
阴魂生物看起来就像正常的类人生物,但是他们的皮肤就像他们的眼睛一样是灰色到墨黑的。它们比大多数人都要瘦,更喜欢穿深色的衣服或盔甲。阴魂人人类在达到成年之前是不会变成阴魂生物的。没有年轻的阴魂生物这种东西,而阴魂生物结婚后会生出正常的后代。阴魂生物的寿命非常长。他们用灵魂的一部分换取了阴影物质,这另他们的寿命延长了十倍。由人类转变的阴魂生物使用以下老化效应特征,而不是玩家手册中表6-5所示:
Shades look just like normal humanoids, although their skin is gray to inky black, as are their eyes. They are thinner than most humans, and they prefer to dress in dark-hued clothes or armor. Human Shadovars are never made into shades until after they have reached the age of majority. There are no such things as young shades, and shades who marry produce normal offspring. Shades have extraordinarily long lifespans. By trading some portion of their souls for the stuff of shadow, they extend their lifespans tenfold. Shades created from humans use the following aging effect characteristics instead of the ones in Table 6–5 in the Player’s Handbook:
阴魂生物(人类)300 450 600 +6d%年
Shade (human) 300 450 600 +6d% years
历史History
在过去的两千年里,阴魂城城一直在阴影位面之中,而这座城市里最强大的法师——至高亲王,却想出了一种将自己和他最忠实的追随者变成阴影生物的方法。这赋予了它们近乎永生的能力和不可思议的力量——只要它们被某种黑暗所笼罩。自从阴魂城回归费伦以来,至高亲王一直在追求一个只有阴影王子和之外的少数人知道的神秘计划。然而,有一些事情是清楚的,比如,在经历了这么多年之后,至高亲王打算消灭仍然留在安诺奥克的费林魔葵。这场圣战甚至导致了至高亲王利用他的城市的力量来帮助艾弗瑞斯卡的人民击败了最近的一次费林魔葵的入侵,给了精灵社区一个奇怪的同盟的机会。当然,随着费林魔葵的溃败,联盟也结束了,阴魂人又回到了他们的冷漠的道路上。
While the City of Shade was trapped in the Plane of Shadow for the past two millennia, the High Prince, most powerful wizard in the city, struck upon a means of transforming himself and his most loyal followers into creatures of shadow. This granted them nearimmortality and an incredible array of powers—as long as they were shrouded in some kind of darkness. Since the return of the City of Shade to Faerun, the High Prince has pursued a mysterious agenda that few outside the Princes of Shade understand. Some things are clear, however, like the fact that the High Prince intends to exterminate the phaerimm who still remain in Anauroch after all these years. This crusade even caused the High Prince to lend his city’s power to aid the people of Evereska in defeating a recent phaerimm invasion, granting the elvish community a strange bedfellow indeed. With the routing of the phaerimm, of course, the alliance ended, and the Shadovars have returned to their standoffish ways.
性格Outlook
阴魂生物活着是为了服务于至高亲王和他们同伙的阴魂人。大多数人都是作为至高亲王政权的忠实拥护者在阴魂城长大的。虽然个别阴魂生物可能有个人的计划,但很少会和他们的统治者的目的冲突,因为不服从或不忠诚的阴魂人一开始就不太可能转化为阴魂生物。
Shades live to serve the High Prince and their fellow Shadovars. Most have grown up in the City of Shade as loyal champions of the High Prince’s regime. While individual shades may have personal agendas, few conflict with the purposes of Shade’s rulers, since disobedient or disloyal Shadovars are not likely to have been transformed into shades in the first place.
阴魂生物认为自己比周围的非阴魂生物更优越,毕竟这是他们从小就被灌输的信念。只有最有价值的阴魂人才会被选择成阴魂生物。大多数阴魂生物只有在上级的命令下才会去冒险。他们通常会接到具体的命令,告诉他们在这类任务中要做什么。阴魂生物很少会与他们暂时结交的非阴阴魂生物盟友分享他们冒险的真正原因。他们不信任外面的阴魂生物,他们与陌生人建立的任何关系肯定都是暂时的。
Shades consider themselves superior to all nonshades around them. After all, that’s what they’ve been raised to believe from birth. Only the most worthy Shadovars are chosen to become shades. Most shades go adventuring only at the behest of their superiors. They are normally given specific orders about what they are to do on such missions. Shades rarely share their true reasons for adventuring with any non-Shadovar allies they may temporarily make. They do not trust those outside Shade, and any relationships they strike up with strangers are sure to be temporary.
阴魂生物社会Shade Society
阴魂城的生活属于严格控制的等级制度。至高亲王坐在金字塔的顶端,他的十二个儿子——十二个阴魂王子——就在他的正下方。在他们的下方,是奥术师(阴魂人法师),其次是军队。在金字塔的底部,是四个阶层的平民。阶层依次向下分别是是手工艺者(技工)、商人(那些分发整个阴魂城必要的商品和进出口所需材料的人)、仆人(为地位更高的人当私人仆役)和奴隶(做社会的繁重工作中最糟糕的工作的人)。
Life in the City of Shade fits into a strictly controlled hierarchy. The High Prince sits at the top of the hierarchy’s pyramid, with his sons—the Twelve Princes of Shade—right below him. Beneath them, the arcanists (Shadovar sorcerers and wizards) stand, with the military next down in importance. At the base of the pyramid, there are four levels of commoners. In descending order, these are the crafters (skilled laborers), the merchants (those who distribute necessary goods throughout the City of Shade and import and export needed materials), the servants (those who work as personal servants to people above them), and the slaves (who do the worst of the society’s grunt work).
在扬升之龄(13岁),每个公民都要学习基本的魔法技能,并接受一系列的测试,以确定他的技能如何才能最好地服务于阴魂城。然后,在成年(18岁)的时候,每个人开始从事他所接受训练的工作。除非这个人突然表现出新的才能,否则他会在他指定的职业上工作到死。那些被证明是特别重要和忠诚的公民会变成阴魂生物。这是阴魂人所能获得的最高荣誉之一。只有一小部分的阴魂人被改造了,平民和低级军官从为被获选改造。
At the age of ascension (13 years old), every citizen is tutored in basic spellcraft and subjected to a battery of tests to determine how his skills can best serve the City of Shade. Then, at the age of majority (18 years old) each person embarks upon the job for which he was trained. Unless the person suddenly displays a new aptitude, he works at his designated career until the day he dies. Those citizens who prove to be especially important and loyal are transformed into shades. This is one of the greatest honors a Shadovar can receive. Only a small percentage of Shadovars are transformed, and commoners and low-ranking military officers are never chosen for transformation.
在阴魂城外面,大多数阴魂生物都不与他人来往。他们可能单独旅行,也可能结伴而行,但他们与非阴魂人结成的任何联盟——这非常罕见——肯定是出于方便的联盟。只有阴魂王子或上尉及以上的阴魂人军官才能在没有护卫的情况下离开树荫城,但这样的人应当有这样做的正当理由。
Outside the City of Shade, most shades keep to themselves. They may travel singly or in small groups, but any alliances they make with non- Shadovars—which are rare—are sure to be alliances of convenience. Only a Prince of Shade or a Shadovar officer of captain’s rank or higher can leave the City of Shade without an escort, and such a person had better have a defensible reason for doing so.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
耐色瑞尔语是阴魂城的语言,所有的阴魂人都说这种语言。那些与其他费伦人打交道或经常到城外旅行的人往往说通用语,以及他们可能觉得方便的任何其他语言。
Netherese is the language of the City of Shade, and all Shadovar speak it. Those who deal with other Faerunians or frequently travel outside the city often speak Common and whatever other languages they might find convenient.
所有的阴魂生物都是识字的,除了野蛮人(没有任何阴魂人可以被认为是野蛮人)。
All shades are literate, except for barbarians (not that any Shadovars could be considered barbarians).
能力与种族特征Abilities and Racial Features
作为阴影位面的生物,阴魂生物被认为是异界生物的。他们必须属于非善良阵营。
所有阴魂生物在阴影或黑暗中都有以下能力。在光线充足的环境中(日光或日光法术的范围),这些异能都不起作用。
•能力值:阴魂生物的体质和魅力值+2。
•速度:增加20英尺(或15英尺,如果角色穿着中或重型盔甲)。
•装甲等级:阴魂生物对AC有+4的偏转加值。
•攻击和伤害:阴魂生物在攻击和伤害上获得+2能力加值。
•豁免:阴影在所有豁免检定中获得+4运气加值。
•技能:角色在聆听和侦查时获得+4种族加值,在隐藏和移动时获得+8种族加值。他不会因为黑暗而受到技能检定惩罚。
•调节光亮(Sp):阴魂生物能够减弱自己周围100 尺半径范围内光的亮度。减弱的程度为每等级10%。在这个范围中,任何需要光照辨物的生物的视力所及的范围也会随之递减。在影响范围中,光照每削弱25%,生物的隐藏技能就具有+1 的环境加值。
•快速医疗(EX):阴魂生物每轮快速回复2 点生命值,但他不能恢复在光亮环境中损失的生命值。
•隐形(SP):每轮一次,阴魂生物能够如同级的术士施展同名法术一样对自己施展这个类法术能力。
•阴魂视力(SP):阴魂生物具有60 尺黑暗视觉。他能够正常看穿任何种类的黑暗效果,但不能看透浓雾,也不能看穿隐形和遮蔽效果的生物。
•阴魂镜影(SP):每天3 次,阴魂生物能够如同级术士施展镜影术一样使用这个类法术能力。他能创造1d4 个镜影,以后每3 个等级还能再造1 个。
•影跃(SP):至少8 级的阴魂生物可以从他当前所在的位置立刻瞬间移动到500 尺以内的任何一处阴影中,并且每两轮就能再用一次。影跃属于类移动作,因此阴魂生物在同一轮中还可以做其他动作,比如施法或者攻击。
•阴影传送(SP):至少12 级的阴魂生物可以通过阴影界无错传送到同一个世界或者同一个位面中任何一个有阴影存在的地方,这个能力每天可以使用一次。
•法术抗力(EX):阴魂生物的法术抗力为11+人物等级。
•等级调整:+4。阴魂生物比普通的费伦种族更强大,获得等级的速度也更慢。但在明亮的光下他们的许多奖励和力量会受到阻碍。低于5级的阴魂人角色不会被转化成阴魂生物。更多有关信息,请参见引言中的表1。
As creatures of the Plane of Shadow, shades are considered to be of the outsider type. Shades must be of a nongood alignment.
All shades have the following powers when within shadows or darkness. In well-lit surroundings (daylight or the radius of a daylight spell) none of these powers function.
• Ability Scores: A shade’s Constitution and Charisma scores increase by +2.
• Speed: Increases by 20 ft. (or 15 ft., if the character wears medium or heavy armor).
• Armor Class: The shade gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC.
• Attacks and Damage: The shade gains a +2 competence bonus on attacks and damage.
• Saves: The shade gains a +4 luck bonus on all saving throws.
• Skills: The character gains a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. He does not suffer skill check penalties due to darkness.
• Control Light (Sp): The shade can decrease the levels of light within a 100-foot radius by a factor of 10% per level. For characters and creatures dependent on light to see, this decreases the effective range of vision for them by the same percentage. For each 25% decrease in light, anyone within the area gains a +1 circumstance bonus on Hide checks.
• Fast Healing 2.
• Invisibility (Sp): The shade can use this ability once per round as a sorcerer of his level.
• Shadesight (Sp): The shade has 60-foot darkvision. He can see normally through any darkness effects but not through fog, invisibility, obscurement, and so on.
• Shadow Image (Sp): Three times per day, the shade can use this spell-like ability (similar to the mirror image spell) as a sorcerer of his level. This creates 1d4 figments of the shade, +1 per three levels.
• Shadow Stride (Sp): As often as once every 2 rounds, a shade of 8th level or higher can vanish from his current location and reappear in any shadowy area within 300 feet. This is a move-equivalent action.
• Shadow Travel (Sp): If the shade is 12th level or higher, then he can use teleport without error to reach a shadowy locale on the same world or plane shift to access the Plane of Shadows. A shade can shadow travel once per day.
• Spell Resistance: 11 + character level.
• Level Adjustment: +4. Shades are more powerful and gain levels more slowly than the common races of Faerun. Their many bonuses and powers are hindered only by the fact that they do not work in bright light. Shadovars do not create shades from characters who are less than 5th level. See Table 1 in the Introduction for more information.
阴魂生物魔法和知识Shade Magic and Lore
大多数阴魂人施法者都是奥术师(法师和术士)。尽管他们可以自由的选择任意学派甚至一个学派都不选,但他们通常都会选择专攻塑能和死灵学派。
Most Shadovar spellcasters are arcanists (sorcerers or wizards). They normally specialize in the schools of Evocation and Necromancy, although they are free to choose any school or none at all.
阴魂施法者最喜欢的一种战术是施放黑暗术——或者任何其他产生黑暗或阴影的法术。然后他们就可以使用他们所有的阴魂力量。
One favorite tactic of shade spellcasters is to cast a darkness spell—or any other spell that causes darkness or shadows— on themselves. They then have access to their full range of shade powers.
施法传统:阴魂人奥术师至少有两种种族法术是他们的民族所特有的:掌中之牙和阴影天幕(见附录)。
Spellcasting Tradition: Shadovar arcanists have at least two racial spells particular to their people: handfang and shadow canopy (see the appendix).
阴魂生物神祗Shade Deities
所有的阴魂人都将莎尔作为他们的守护神崇拜。在阴魂城里,其他的神祗没有教堂。阴魂城的人民甚至在冒险进入阴影位面之前就崇拜这位古老的女神。从那时起,他们就与众不同的学会了依赖莎尔。阴魂城的所有其他教堂或小教堂都早已改信了莎尔。尽管如此,阴魂生物牧师对至高亲王的忠诚要高于对莎尔本人的忠诚。他们对她的崇拜只是是为了达到目的的一种手段。
All Shadovars worship Shar as their patron. No other deities have churches within the City of Shade. The people of Shade worshiped this ancient goddess even before they ventured into the Plane of Shadow. Since then, they have learned to rely upon her like no other. All other churches or chapels in the City of Shade have long since been converted over to the worship of Shar. Still, shade clerics are more loyal to the High Prince than to Shar herself. Their worship of her is a means to an end.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
各种阴魂人都与非阴魂人没有太多的接触,因此无论是好是坏,阴魂人对它们几乎没有任何偏见。他们认为其他民族是低等的,总有一天会被胜利至高亲王征服。然而,所有的阴魂人的内心都深恨着他们古老的敌人:费林魔葵。阴魂人愿意竭尽全力去给费林魔葵带来麻烦——最好导致他们死亡。
Shadovars of all stripes do not have much contact with non- Shadovars, and so have little if any specific prejudices about them, whether good or bad. They think of other peoples as inferior, to someday be subjugated by the triumphant High Prince. However, all Shadovars have an especially cold and dark place in their hearts for their ancient foes: the phaerimm. Shadovars are willing to go to great lengths to cause the phaerimm trouble and—preferably—death.
阴魂生物装备Shade Equipment
阴魂生物偏爱的武器是由他的基本种族决定的。对大多数的费伦人来说,大多数的阴魂人的武器和装备看起来都过时了。毕竟,他们与世界隔绝了两千多年,直到近些年才会到费伦。阴魂生物通常佩戴华丽的护胸,携带同样设计的三叉矛。它们也喜欢空中骑兵,还驯养了凶暴蝙蝠作为坐骑。
A shade’s favored weapons are determined by his base race. To most Faerunians, the weapons and equipment of most Shadovars look oddly dated. After all, until recently they were cut off from the rest of the world for over two thousand years. Shades often wear ornate breastplates and carry similarly designed ranseurs. They also like aerial cavalry and have domesticated dire bats as mounts.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
阴魂人不会在阴魂城饲养动物——根本没有空间。他们通过交易或抢夺来收集食物。在他们的社会里几乎没有宠物——照顾这些动物被不被认为是对城市有限资源的有效利用。
Shadovars don’t raise animals in the City of Shade; there’s simply no room. They gather their food by either paying for it or taking it. There are few if any pets in their society—caring for such creatures is not considered an efficient use of the city’s limited resources.

创建一个阴影区域。该领域的外表面是正常视觉和黑暗视觉无法穿透,在该法术的领域内给予生物和对象100%的隐藏。受黑光术影响的生物不能看穿区域。区域的内表面给区域里的一切都投下了深深的阴影,将正常视力降低到5英尺:具有黑暗视力能力的生物可以正常地在视野内看到东西。光,包括阳光,不能穿透区域。通常会受到阳光不利影响的生物,如阴魂生物和吸血鬼,能够在区域内正常活动。你可以在空间中的一点上施法,除非你施法于移动的物体上,否则效果是固定的。你可以对一个生物施法,该效果从该生物身上投射出来,并随着它的移动而移动。空间中无所属的物体和点不会得到豁免检定或者通过从法术抗力来抵抗这个法术。
You create a field of shadow. The outer surface of the field is impenetrable to normal vision and darkvision, granting 100% concealment to creatures and objects within the spell’s area. A creature under the effect of blacklight cannot see through the field. The interior of the field casts a deep shadow on everything within, reducing normal vision to 5 feet; creatures with darkvision can see normally within the field. Light, including sunlight, cannot penetrate the field. Creatures that would normally be adversely affected by sunlight, such as shades and vampires, are able to function normally within the field. You can cast the spell on a point in space, but the effect is stationary unless you cast it on a mobile object. You can cast the spell on a creature, and the effect radiates from the creature and moves as it moves.

到处都没找到这个法术我就自己翻译了,感觉在阴魂城回归的战役剧情中切断费林魔葵与魔网的联系、削弱迷锁、融化至高冰川的法术就是来自这个法术——当然还利用了卡尔瑟石Karsestone——估计是卡尔苏斯变成的石像
