贵族
The Noble lords of the great houses of Westeros control the fate of the Seven Kingdoms, affecting all those beneath them with every decision and action made. Nobles may be fat merchants sitting behind the thick walls of a granted keep or men born of noble blood, whose lineage spans thousands of years. Nobles rule over the smallfolk within their territory through a system of fealty and sworn oaths that further divides their kingdoms. Not all Nobles rule over great kingdoms, though; there are minor lords scattered in keeps and holdfasts in every region of the Seven Kingdoms. Also, being highborn does not give one a noble heart, as Nobles are responsible for some of the most heinous acts in the history of the realm, corrupted by the power intrinsic to their station.
在维斯特洛,大家族的贵族领主的态度能决定七大王国的命运,无数宣誓效忠于他们的人等待着他的指令。贵族也许是个端坐在采邑要塞厚厚城墙后面的大腹便便的富商,也有可能是绵延数千年家族血脉的后裔。贵族通过其领民对于其宣誓效忠的系统,统治他领地中的众多平民,进而划分他们的地盘。当然,不是每个贵族都能统治一个大王国;在七大王国各个地方的要塞和庄园里都住着小领主。同样,高贵的出身并不会给一个人带来高贵的心灵,实际上大陆历史中很多领主要对无数丑恶的事件负责,他们的内心极易被权力腐化。
Adventures
Nobles are always in danger from the intrigues of other nobility as well as the unrest of the smallfolk that fall under their banners. The former is far more dangerous, as influential enemies know and have access to more devious ways to harm a noble than do the smallfolk — methods that even an army of loyal knights cannot stop. This leads them to either isolate themselves as best they can from the politics of the Seven Kingdoms, or to throw themselves fully into the game of thrones. In either case, the life of a Noble is never far from adventure and danger.
冒险
贵族经常处于危险之中,无论是其他贵族的密谋还是旗下平民的蠢蠢欲动都危险万分。而其始作俑者更加可怕,比如有个深有权势的敌人试图并已经开始通过种种渠道伤害一个贵族,这远比平民作乱可怕——即使忠诚的骑士队伍也无法阻止于他。这些危险使得贵族们要么尽量远离七大王国的政治漩涡,要么尽全力在权力的游戏中拼搏。无论前者还是后者,贵族的生活都与冒险和危险密切相关。
Characteristics
Nobles can call upon the vast resources of their houses to see them through dangerous situations, and the support of other noble houses can almost always be counted upon in lean times. Nobles have many loyal followers that will do as they ask, willing even to give their lives in defence of their lord.
职业特性
贵族可以从家族资源中获得人力物力来将其从危险的困境中解救出来,一般其他家族的支持也是可以信任的。贵族往往有不少忠诚的追随者会执行他的命令,这些追随者甚至会愿意献出自己的生命来守护领主。
Becoming a Noble
If a player wants his or her lowborn character to enter the nobility, a significant deed or service should be required during the story, whereby the character earns a granted title and possibly lands. Normally, only the king may raise someone's status so high, but if a major lord is championing the character's cause this may be only a formality.
In game terms, the character needs a Social Status of least Rank 3 before he or she can take a Level in the Noble Class. A character's Social Status Rank can be increased through the Raised Status and Wealth Feats, which may be acquired normally, or may be given by the GM either for free, or in return for a Defect (or Defects) of equivalent value.
If a character is rewarded with lands and titles during the course of the campaign, the character should take at least one Level in the Noble Class when he or she gains the next Level; alternatively, the character may become a Noble "in name only," (i.e., he or she does not gain a Class Level and is likely seen as upjumped rabble). See Gaining Titles, page 192.
A character whose Wealth is lower than the rest of his or her family may be regarded as an impoverished cousin. Similarly, it is rare for a character to be welcomed into a noble family whose status is higher than the character's, but if this were to happen due to special circumstances, the character would likely be seen as a distant cousin or from a cadet branch of the house.
成为贵族
如果一个平民出身的玩家想变得高贵,那么他得在故事里做出瞩目的功绩与卓越的服务,从而令人信服的得到被承认的头衔与采邑。一般只有国王可以提高一个人的地位,不过如果一个大家族的领主有意提拔你,那么国王的册封一般只是走个形式。
在游戏中,玩家必须有社会地位至少有3级才能升贵族职业的等级。玩家的社会地位等级可以通过选择出人头地专长来得到提升,这是后天升级社会地位的一般途径,或者也可以由GM在游戏中给予,或者是选择缺陷(或几个缺陷)的补偿。
如果玩家在战役里获得了采邑与头衔,他/她在升下一级之前至少要升一级贵族职业等级;或者,玩家可以选择做“名义上的”贵族(也就是说,他/她没有职业等级,看上去就像个平民暴发户)。参见赢得头衔,第192页。
玩家的财富等级如果逼他/她家族的其他成员要低,那么他们会关注这件事情,就像关注一个穷表亲。同样,一般比玩家社会地位高的贵族家庭不会欢迎玩家的到来——当然也有特殊环境中特殊情况的存在——一般玩家看起来就像该家族旁系的远亲。
Sons vs. Daughters
Most Noble sons will be given martial training. This means that after 1st Level, many will multiclass into Man-at-arms. Those who follow the path of the warrior will often train for either the Knight or Commander Prestige Class. If he doesn't multiclass early on, the Noble should consider gaining the Weapon Proficiency (Martial) Feat.
Noble daughters will often use Feats for Political Connections and other social Feats. They rarely learn how to use martial weapons or heavier armours, unless they are wilful and overly adventurous. Noble daughters will often multiclass to Artisan, Knave, or the Spy Prestige Class. Those with a calling to the Faith may become Godsworn. Of course, those that defy expectations may take Levels in Hunter, Man-at-arms, Commander, or Water Dancer.
儿子与女儿
大多贵族的男孩会进行完善的军事训练。这代表着第1级时,他们很多升级的是战士。这些军事训练大都是为之后进阶骑士或者指挥官。如果他小时候没有这样训练,贵族通常会考虑选择武器专攻(军用武器)专长
贵族的女孩往往会选择声望卓著专长和其他的社交专长。她们几乎不会学习使用军用武器和重甲,除非她们任性得很又喜欢到处惹祸。贵族之女大都会成为艺人、流民,然后进阶间谍。也有的被信仰感召,成为修女。当然,也有女孩违背家族的意愿,升级猎手、战士、指挥官或者水舞者。
Origin
Some Nobles are born into the legacy of one of the great houses of the Seven Kingdoms, while others are granted title and lands for service to the King. Nobles must play a dangerous game of intrigue, however, and the closer one is to power, the more deadly the game becomes.
贵族生涯
有些贵族出身自七大王国的显赫豪门,而另外的也继承了头衔和采邑好为国王尽忠。贵族在诸般危险的阴谋诡计之间火中取栗,有些得到了梦寐以求的权力,而更多的在其中尸骨无存。
Background
All highborn characters should take at least 1 Level of Noble as their first Class. Nobles are the rulers of their great houses, commanding all beneath them. Sons learn towards skill at arms while daughters learn the courtly virtues, but both can be equally deadly in the games of politics. Even the smallest of lords commands great respect among the smallfolk, while the world seems to tremble beneath the boots of the great lords.
Examples of Nobles: Queen Cersei Lannister; Lord Eddard Stark.
背景
所有出身高贵的角色应该至少在第1级时有1级贵族等级。贵族是他们庞大家族的统治者,号令其麾下众人。男孩们们要学习使用武器的技艺,而女孩们要学着温良贤淑彬彬有礼,不过他们都要在政治游戏中经受血与火的洗礼。就算是最小的领主也会受到平民崇高的敬意,而大领主跺下脚,大陆都会为之颤抖。
贵族范例:瑟曦.兰尼斯特皇后;艾德.史塔克领主。
game Rule Information
Nobles have the following game statistics.
游戏规则信息
贵族有以下游戏数据。
Abilities
Charisma determines the strength of a Noble's charm and personality, something every Noble must hone if he or she hopes to further his or her interests. Strength and Dexterity are important if a Noble seeks to prove his puissance of arms in a grand melee or tournament joust. These traits also help the Noble on the battlefield when he is called to support his lord, or when he must lead his bannermen into battle to protect his claims and interests. Intelligence and Wisdom, meanwhile, are of crucial importance for those who wish to play the game of thrones.
属性
魅力属性决定了贵族个人魅力的力量,如果一个贵族想得到自己的利益就必须日夜苦练之。如果一个贵族想在竞技大会的步斗近战或者枪术比武中证明自己的能力,力量和敏捷都是非常关键的属性。在贵族要应其领主之召跨上战场时,或是为了保护自己的权力和利益率领他的旗手们拿起武器时,这两个属性都至关重要。智力和感知,在玩家进行权力的游戏式的游戏时也非常重要。

Bonus Class Skill
Nobles learn a variety of Skills from the Maesters and Godsworn that tend to them as they grow up. Sometimes these Skills
are superfluous to the Noble's goals, but other times they aid the Nobles in unexpected ways. Thus, at 1st Level, the Noble character can designate any two Cross-Class Skills as Class Skills. Once designated, these Skills are always considered Class Skills.
额外职业技能
贵族的成长过程中能从教育他的学士和修女那儿学得各种技能。有的时候,这些技能对贵族而言毫无价值,但也有时,能给贵族带来意想不到的帮助。因此,在第1级时,贵族玩家可以选择任意两个非职业技能作为职业技能。一旦选定,该技能一切如职业技能一样。
Literacy
Nobles must be able to communicate effectively with other lords and Nobles across the land, gaining the Literacy Feat at 1st Level.
读写能力

The character can designate any Specialisations, and may spend additional Points on these Skills up to the character's maximum Skill Rank.

Bonus Feat
Nobles have greater opportunities than the common folk of Westeros. Consequently, at 2nd Level, they may choose any bonus Feat for which they meet all prerequisites. The Noble chooses another bonus Feat at 8th, 11th, 13th, and 19th Levels.
额外专长
贵族比维斯特洛的平民有更多的学习机会。因此,第2级时,他们可以从所有具有先决条件的专长中选择额外专长。而后,贵族可以在第8级,第11级,第13级,第19级各得到一个额外专长。
Noble Standing
Nobles are well connected to many individuals and groups, providing them with additional Influence. At 2nd, 6th, 10th, 15th, and 18th Level, the Noble gains +4 additional Influence Points to allocate as desired.
贵族身份
贵族更容易为人所知,这使得他们可以得到额外的声望。在第2级,第6级,第10级,第15级,第18级时,贵族可以得到额外的4点声望可以分配,如果他愿意的话。
Mandate
Nobles wield tremendous power in the Seven Kingdoms. They have many allies who command influence, wealth, and military might. At 3rd Level, Nobles have improved their ability to call upon their Influences. They gain a +1 bonus to all Influence checks, and also reduce the penalties in situations where they have no Influence by 1. The Noble's Mandate bonus increases to +2 at 5th Level, +3 at 7th, +4 at 12th, and +5 at 16th.
权势
在七大王国,贵族拥有极大的权力。他们可能有很多拥有声望、财富和武装的盟友。第3级时,贵族能更好的使用其声望来号召众人。他们能在所有声望检定中得到+1加值,原本没有声望会受到处罚的情况也变成1。贵族的权势能力能在第5级时增加为+2,第7级时增加为+3,第12级时增加为+4,第16级时增加为+5。
Command
The Noble can coordinate a small group of characters in a cooperative task by making a Charisma check (DC 15 + the number of characters commanded). This increases the bonus granted by the aid another action by an additional +2. This increase goes up by two (+4, +6, and so forth) each time it is gained again. Commanding other characters takes as long as the task they are attempting (minimum one full round).
命令
贵族通过一个魅力检定(DC 15+命令的玩家人物)能协调一小队玩家同心协力进行一个合作的任务。这能使那个任务的检定额外+2。该加值每次加二(+4,+6,依此类推)。命令其他玩家的动作时间与对该任务进行尝试的时间相同(至少为整轮动作)。
