CHARACTER CLASS
人物职业step 6: Select Class
第六步：选择职业Characters in A Game of Thrones d20 may be Nobles or Knaves, Men-at-arms or Maesters, Godsworn or Hunters, Artisans or Raiders. A character Class is an archetype, and the Class (or Classes) help describe what a character knows and represents. Characters of a given Class often share strengths and weaknesses, but may be tailored by adding their own unique abilities.
《权力的游戏D20》（ATOT d20）中的人物可以是骑士或是流民1，是战士或学士，修士或猎手，艺人或掠袭者。人物职业是一种基本特征，它用以描述一个人物所拥有的知识和行为方式。当职业给定时，人物通常会具有该职业所共有的优缺点，但他们依然可以通过加上他们自己特有的不同能力来表现自己的特征。
Each Class is associated with its own progression of Skills, Special Abilities, and bonuses that describe the capabilities of characters of that Class. These Classes and their qualities are described herein. Characters may also be members of more than one Class, combining the abilities of multiple Classes to create a more personalised whole.
每个职业都有它自己专属的一系列技能，特殊能力，以及能够描述该职业人物能力的调整加值。下面将对这些职业及它们的特点进行描述。人物也可以选择多个职业，多职业人物混合的能力会创造出一个更有个性化的角色。
Example: Bran Stark is a 1st Level Noble, born to a great house, but without much experience in the world. His older sister, Sansa, is much more worldly at 11 years. She is well on her way to becoming a proper lady, and is considered a 2nd Level Noble. Their sister, Arya, is not as old as Sansa, but her adventures in the south make her at least as experienced. She begins as a 1st Level Noble, but as she trains under Syrio Forel, and then must struggle to survive the dangers of King’s Landing, she acquires a Level of the Knave Class – she is therefore a 1st Level Noble / 1st Level Knave.
例：布兰•史塔克出生在大贵族家庭，但在没有很多的人生经历，因此是个1级贵族。他的姐姐珊莎已经11岁了，比他历世更多。她即将成为一名相当优秀的贵族女士，因此可以被认为是2级的贵族。他们的姐妹艾利娅比珊莎年纪小，但她在南方的经历使她拥有同珊莎同样的等级。她具有一个贵族的起始等级，但是由于她所受到的西利欧•佛瑞尔的训练，以及为在君临生存下去所作的那些斗争，她得到了1个流民职业的等级——因此她是1级贵族/1级流民。
the Core Classes
核心职业The eight core Classes are:
ARTISAN: Craftsmen, performers, diplomats, heralds, and stewards are all Artisans. They each use their specialised skills to make their way in the world.
八个核心职业分别是：
艺人2：手艺人，演员，说客，信使，以及管家都属于艺人。他们各自用自己的专业技能来谋生。
GODSWORN: Priests and followers of the Faith, the Godsworn are the loyal servants of the Seven.
修士：信仰宗教的牧师，修士特指七神忠实的神仆。
HUNTER: Men and women of the wilderness, Hunters learn to bring down their prey through stealth and lore.
猎手：在野外谋生的男人或女人，猎手们学习通过在暗中的行动和野外知识来获取猎物。
KNAVE: Some use stealth and guile; others rely on brute force and fear. All Knaves seek to take whatever they desire, whether bread for their suppers or gold for their pockets.
流民：一些通过小偷小摸和欺诈；另一些通过蛮力和恐吓。所有的地痞都设法带走他们想要的一切，不论是用来填饱肚皮的面包还是用来装满他们口袋里的金子。
MAESTER: These “knights of the mind” are masters of as many types of lore as are known in the world.
学士：这些“思想上的骑士”是了解世界上已知的各种知识的大师。
MAN-AT-ARMS: Men-at-arms may be loyal bannermen or sellswords from foreign lands, but at heart, all are soldiers and warriors who survive and thrive by their strength and prowess.
战士3：战士可能是忠于王室的旗手，也可能是来自其他大陆的雇佣兵，但是从本质上说，所有那些通过他们的力量和英勇来获得生存和成功的士兵和勇士都是战士。
NOBLE: Nobles are the children of high birth from the great and small houses of nobility. They have wealth, education, and influence — every conceivable advantage over the smallfolk beneath them — as well as their own share of responsibilities and enemies.
贵族：贵族是那些大小贵族家庭出生的孩子。他们富有、接受良好的教育，并具有权势——所有可以想见的相对于那些比他们地位低的人的优越性——也分享他们所拥有的尊敬和敌人。
RAIDER: Barbarians and wild folk from the fringes of settled lands, Raiders are unruly and loyal only to their own. They may call themselves lords, tribesmen, or simply “free.”
掠袭者：未开化的民族和那些在居住地边缘的野蛮民族，掠袭者不服教化，他们仅仅对自己忠诚。他们或许称自己为君王，部落，或者简单的称为“自由民”。
the Multiclass Character
兼职人物As your character acquires experience and advances in Level (or if your character starts above 1st Level), he or she may choose to gain Levels in one or more new Classes instead of only advancing in a single Class. Adding secondary or tertiary Classes gives the character different advantages, but progression in the new Classes occur at the expense of advancement in the character’s other Classes. Unlike some other fantasy d20 games, characters in A Game of Th rones d20 do not suffer Experience Point (XP) penalties for multiclassing.
当你的人物得到了升级所必需的经验即将升级的时候（假设你的人物从1级开始），他/她可以选择得到一个或多个职业的等级而非仅仅在某一个单独的职业中提升。加入第二或第三职业给予人物不同的优点，但晋阶新职业花费人物另一职业的经验值。不像其他的奇幻d20游戏，ATOT d20中的人物不由于兼职而受经验值（XP）惩罚。
DESIGNER’S NOTE: SCHOLARS
设计者注：学者
While there are a number of studious characters throughout Westeros, there is no Scholar Class. This decision was made for several reasons — primarily, to create such a Class over 20 Levels would cause too much overlap with Artisans, Godsworn, Nobles, and most of all, Maesters.
由于各种学习型的人物遍及维斯特洛，因此并没有一个“学者”职业。这种设计有几个原因——首先，创造这样一个20级的职业将同艺人，修士，贵族，以及学士（同学者最接近的职业）有太多的重复。
To represent a “scholar”-type character, players are encouraged to take 1-2 Levels of Artisan or Godsworn (for those inclined towards the Faith), or if the GM permits, a few Levels of Maester (see page 113). There are many who train at the Citadel who do not take their vows. While in most cases women are denied this last option in Westeros, undoubtedly rare exceptions do arise (see Gender and Profession in Westeros, page 99). If a player does not want to multiclass, he or she can also assign the Skill Mastery Feat for the character.
为了代替“学者”——这种职业类型，我们鼓励玩家兼职1-2级的艺人或者修士（那些倾向信仰的人），或者如果GM允许的话，兼职几个等级的学士（见113页4）。许多人在学城受训而并不宣誓。在维斯特洛的大多数情况下，妇女被禁止宣誓，因此无疑她们能做的仅仅是提高自己在这方面的经验（见维斯特洛的性别和职业，99页）。如果玩家不想兼职，他/她可以选择学识技能和专长来塑造这种人物。
Common Multiclasses
常见兼职
In A Game of Th rones d20, it is common for characters to multiclass. Any character from a highborn upbringing should have at least one Level of Noble. Militant sons may take several Levels of Man-at-arms before taking a Prestige Class, such as Knight or Commander, while Noble ladies may be more inclined towards Artisan, or even the Godsworn or Knave Classes. Having two, three, or even four Classes is not uncommon in Westeros.
在ATOT d20中，人物兼职是很常见的。任何一个出身高贵的人至少应有一个贵族等级。军人的儿子在得到一个有名望的职业——如骑士或爵士前，可能会有几个战士的等级，而贵族的女士或许更倾向于拥有艺人职业，或者甚至是修士或流民职业。拥有两个，三个，甚至四个职业在维斯特洛并非罕见。
Example: Jon Snow is raised with his half-brothers and sisters under Eddard Stark’s roof, thus it makes sense for him to have 1 Level in the Noble Class. To represent the martial training he receives under the tutelage of Winterfell’s master-of-arms, Jon is assigned a Level of Man-at-arms. When Jon reaches the Wall, he continues to train and improve his fighting prowess, and gains a second Level of Man-at-arms. Finally, when he is chosen to join the order of the stewards, he gains a Level of the Steward Prestige Class. At the end of A Game of Thrones, Jon can be described as 4th Level: Man-at-arms 2 / Noble 1 / Night’s Watch Steward 1.
例：琼恩•史塔克同他的同父异母弟妹一起在史塔克家长大，因此注意他有1级的贵族职业。在临冬城的教头的军事教导下，琼恩得到了1级战士职业。当琼恩到达长城，他继续受训提升战斗力，因此得到战士的第二个等级。最终，当他被选作侍卫官的时候，他得到了1级侍卫官职业。因此在ATOT最终，琼恩是一个4级人物：战士2/贵族1/守夜人侍卫1

1．遵从努塔瑞大人的译文，knave重新统一为流民，若有更改再统一更正。
2．Artisan字典里面的正解为“工匠”，但其英文解释同中文传统意义上的工匠出入较大，为不至于引起太多误解，故选择其字典中次之的解释“艺人”。其实此词本意是指通过自己的劳动和技能来谋生的人（除农民外）。
3．译名遵从努塔瑞大人的翻译。
