普通半精灵Common
Half-Elves
普通的半精灵是人类和月精灵、日精灵、野精灵或木精灵的后代。尽管这些人遍布费伦各地,但这一节描述了阿格拉隆德的半精灵文化,阿格拉隆德是普通半精灵最多的地方。
Common
half-elves are descended from humans and moon elves, sun elves, wild elves, or
wood elves. While these people can be found all over Faerun, this section
describes the half-elf culture of Aglarond, the land where the largest number of
common half-elves live.
普通半精灵融合了人类和精灵的特征,受其精灵父母的亚种和人类父母的种族的影响。月半精灵的耳朵和下巴周围有浅蓝色的皮肤,构成了他们的下半脸。日半精灵的皮肤是古铜色的,头发是金色的。野半精灵的皮肤是棕色的。木半精灵的皮肤呈铜色,略带绿色光泽。
Common
half-elves blend human and elven features, influenced by the subrace of their
elven parent and the ethnicity of their human parent. Moon half-elves have pale
skin tinged bluish around the ears and chin, framing their lower faces. Sun
half-elves have bronzed skin, and hair of gold. Wild half-elves have brown skin.
Wood half-elves have coppery skin tinged with green highlights.
最常见的半精灵有点遥远,他们习惯于扮演局外人的角色。在攸木林,情况并非如此:半精灵占大多数,而且有着悠久而自豪的历史。许多半精灵一旦长大可以离家出走就来到攸木林。最后,这里是一个他们希望被接受的地方。
Most
common half-elves are a bit distant, used to being cast in the role of
outsiders. In the Yuirwood, this isn’t so: The half-elves make up the majority
and have a long and proud history. Many half-elves come to the Yuirwood once
they are old enough to leave home. Here, at last, is a place in which they can
hope to be accepted.
半精灵比人类更苗条,比精灵更强壮。因为费伦的精灵比其他世界的精灵更高、更结实,费伦的半精灵非常接近人类的大小和重量。使用以下随机高度和重量特征,而不是《玩家手册》表6-6中描述的默认半精灵数值:
Half-elves
are more slender than humans, and more heavily built than elves. Since the elves
of Faerun are taller and more sturdily built than the elves of other worlds,
Faerunian half-elves are very close to human size and weight. Use the following
random height and weight characteristics instead of the default half-elf values
described on Table 6–6 of the Player’s Handbook:
半精灵,男性4'10"
+2d10 110 磅 × (2d4) 磅
半精灵,女性4'5"
+2d10 80 磅 × (2d4) 磅
Half-elf,
male 4'10" +2d10 110 lb. × (2d4) lb.
Half-elf,
female 4'5" +2d10 80 lb. × (2d4) lb.
历史History
攸木林位于绝境东域的阿格拉隆德,拥有数千个半精灵的家园。攸木林曾经居住着大量的木精灵。然而,在756
DR,人类到达该地区并开始建立定居点。起初,两种文化发生了冲突,但最终他们相互团结起来,对抗当时生活在森林中怪物的威胁。两个生活在攸木林的种族融合了几个世纪,最终形成了真正的半精灵文化。
The
Yuirwood, home to many thousands of half-elves, is located in Aglarond in the
Unapproachable East. The Yuirwood was once populated by a large number of wood
elves. In 756 DR, however, humans arrived in the area and began establishing
settlements. At first the two cultures clashed, but they eventually banded
together against the mutual threat of the monsters that then lived in the woods.
The two races living in the Yuirwood intermingled for centuries, eventually
blending to form a true half-elven culture.
1065
DR,攸木林半精灵与居住在他们的土地和坠星海之间的漫长海岸线的人类和平共处,阿格拉隆德王国诞生了。那些拒绝和平的人离开了阿格拉隆德半岛的西端,组成了他们自己的国家,奥屯贝尔(Altumbel)。阿格拉隆德世世代代由半精灵君主统治。大约50年前,皇室家族断绝了,最后一位王后将王位传给了她的徒弟欣布(Simbul)。在她的统治下,阿格拉隆德的人民即使在面对塞尔人的侵略繁荣昌盛,并且通过他们对土地的坚定防御,迫使他们强大的邻居放弃(至少暂时)向坠星海扩张的梦想。
In
1065 DR, the half-elves of the Yuirwood made peace with the humans living long
the coast between their lands and the Sea of Fallen Stars, and the nation of
Aglarond was born. Those humans who refused to make peace left for the western
tip of the Aglarondan peninsula, and formed their own country, Altumbel.
Aglarond was ruled by half-elven monarchs for generations. About fifty years
ago, the royal line died out, and the last queen passed the throne on to her
apprentice, the Simbul. Under her rule, the people of Aglarond prospered in the
face of Thayan aggression, and through their stalwart defense of their land have
forced their powerful neighbors to abandon (at least temporarily) the dream of
expanding to the Sea of Fallen Stars.
攸木林在森林中是独一无二的,因为它是探测和预知魔法无法穿透的。这对欣布和她的人民来说是一个巨大的优势,因为这使得敌对势力不可能在覆盖大部分阿格拉隆德的森林里监视人民和军队的行动。瑞卡之足(Relkath’s
Foot)是攸木林半精灵的最大聚居地(就这点而言,也是整个费伦的)。这是大约5080人的家园,其中大多数是半精灵。
The
Yuirwood is unique among forests, in that it is impenetrable by detection and
scrying magics. This has been a great advantage to the Simbul and her people, as
it makes it impossible for hostile forces to monitor the movement of people and
troops within the forest that covers most of Aglarond. Relkath’s Foot is the
largest settlement of half-elves in the Yuirwood (and all Faerun, for that
matter). It is home to some 5,080 people, most of whom are half-elves.
性格Outlook
虽然精灵和半精灵在费伦的许多地方受到尊重和崇拜,但在精灵不常见的地方,人类可能会对精灵的血统感到不满。精灵优雅、迷人、长寿、神秘还有着强大的魔法技能,不了解他们的人类很容易尊重精灵,并延伸开来,对半精灵感到嫉妒和恐惧。在银月城或谷地这样的地方,半精灵的种族并没有什么了不起的,而且她很少或根本碰不上偏见。在精灵人类间冲突历史悠久的地方,比如泰瑟尔或桑比亚,他们的精灵血统标志着他们与众不同,危险重重,有着人们所期待的所有恐惧和猜疑。
While
elves and half-elves are respected and admired in many parts of Faerun, humans
in lands where elves are not commonly encountered can be resentful of elven
blood. Elves are graceful, attractive, long-lived, mysterious, and skilled with
mighty magic, and humans who do not know them well can easily come to regard
elves—and, by extension, half-elves—with envy and fear. In places such as
Silverymoon or the Dalelands, a half-elf’s race is nothing remarkable, and she
faces little or no bigotry. In lands where there is a long history of elvenhuman
conflict, such as Tethyr or Sembia, her elven blood marks her as different and
dangerous, with all the fears and suspicions one might expect.
许多半精灵对人类邻居的猜疑和轻视做出反应,远离人类文明,更喜欢在费伦的荒原中独居。另一些人则选择了旅行的生活方式,从不在一个地方停留太久,以至于种族偏见使他们与周围的人保持距离。
Many
half-elves respond to the suspicions and slights of their human neighbors by
staying well away from human civilization, preferring a solitary life in the
wildernesses of Faerun. Others instead take up a life of travel, never staying
in one spot long enough for racial prejudices to distance them from the folk
around them.
作为一个由精灵、人类和半精灵组成的混合社会的家园,阿格拉隆德在费伦地区是独一无二的。在阿格拉隆德中,半精灵的种族是不显著的,半精灵是由她自己的行为和成就来判断的,而不是她的亲属。阿格拉隆德半精灵安静、体贴、有礼貌,与外界交友缓慢,但对他们交到的朋友忠心耿耿。许多其他的土地的半精灵在一生中从至少一次到阿格拉隆德旅行,有许多留在了那里,丰富了欣布的王国。
As
the homeland of a mixed society of elves, humans, and half-elves, Aglarond is
unique among the lands of Faerun. In Aglarond, a half-elf’s race is
unremarkable, and a half-elf is judged by her own actions and accomplishments,
not her kindred. Aglarondan half-elves are a quiet, thoughtful, and courteous
folk, slow to befriend outsiders, but unfailingly loyal to the friends they’ve
made. Many half-elves from other lands journey to Aglarond at least once in
their lives, and more than a few remain there, enriching the Simbul’s
realm.
半精灵角色HALF-ELF
CHARACTERS
攸木林的半精灵是一个多元化的社区,他们欢迎移民。在他们当中,可以找到每一个角色职业和几乎每一个多职业组合的人,因为灵活性是半精灵的一个关键特征。
The
half-elves of the Yuirwood are a diverse community who welcome immigrants. Among
them can be found people of every character class and nearly every multiclass
combination, for flexibility is a key trait among half-elves.
受欢迎的职业:半精灵级别最高的职业被认为是他最喜欢的职业。
Favored
Class: The highest class a half-elf has is considered to be his favored
class.
进阶职业:普通半精灵可以使用任何对人类开放的进阶职业。他们还能成为魔弓手、魔法歌者和剑咏者进阶职业(见附录)。
Prestige
Classes: Common half-elves can use any prestige classes open to humans. They
also have access to the arcane archer, spellsinger, and bladesinger prestige
classes (see the appendix).
半精灵社会Half-Elf
Society
阿格拉隆德社会一般是自由开放的。尽管被困在隐居的奥屯贝尔人和侵略成性的塞尔首席之间,阿格拉隆德在最近几年已经获得了和平。然而,阿格拉隆德人知道自由的代价是永远的警惕。只有他们的决心、勇气和技能才能阻止塞尔人的征服。任何心地善良,愿意肩并肩地保卫自己的家园和自由的人,在阿格拉隆德都会受到欢迎。在欣布统治的40多年中,半精灵工匠、护林人和冒险家的移民极大地加强了阿格拉隆德的统治。
Aglarondan
society is generally free and open. Despite being caught between the reclusive
people of Altumbel and the aggressive zulkirs of Thay, Aglarond has known peace
in recent years. However, the Aglarondans know that the price of their freedom
is eternal vigilance. Only their resolve, courage, and skill hold Thayan
conquest at bay. Any folk of good heart who are willing to stand
shoulder-to-shoulder in the defense of their homes and their liberty are
welcomed in Aglarond, and over forty years of the Simbul’s rule, Aglarond has
been greatly strengthened by the immigration of half-elven craftsfolk,
foresters, and adventurers.
在阿格拉隆达,人类、半精灵和精灵肩并肩地生活着,每个人都接受他们邻居的生活方式。这里的半精灵在20岁左右成年,然后扮演他们认为最适合自己的社会角色。许多人在森林里工作,狩猎野生动物,收集毛皮,收获稀有的树木和草本植物,收集坚果和浆果。阿格拉隆德的森林管理者注意不要破坏攸木林,并尽最大努力避免进行过多的游戏或砍伐过多活的树木。
In
Aglarondan, humans, half-elves, and elves live side by side, each accepting of
their neighbors’ ways. The half-elves here reach adulthood at about age 20 and
then take on whatever role they feel best suited for in their society. Many work
in the woods, hunting wild animals, collecting pelts, harvesting rare woods and
herbs, and gathering nuts and berries. Aglarondan foresters take care not to
despoil the Yuirwood, and go to great pains to avoid taking too much game or
felling too many living trees.
长者们在阿格拉隆德受到尊敬,因为他们可能多年来积累了智慧。一旦一个半精灵年纪太大,不能工作,他就会受到家人或村庄的照顾,直到他去世。
Elders
are respected in Aglarond for the wisdom they have presumably gained over the
years. Once a half-elf is too old to work, he is cared for by his family or his
village until he passes on.
当在一个像阿格拉隆德这样的地方之外,半精灵是孤独的,并且经常有所保留。有些人珍视与一群冒险家一起旅行时得到的友情和家庭感。
When
outside a place like Aglarond, half-elves are loners and often keep to
themselves. Some treasure the camaraderie and the sense of family they get when
traveling with a group of adventurers.
语言和文字Language
and Literacy
攸木林的半个精灵讲通用语,精灵语和阿格拉隆德语。阿格拉隆德语是一种相对年轻的语言,它是从500年前居住在攸木林海岸的人类定居者的达玛拉语和精灵语混合而来的。对于额外语言,半精灵通常选择查森塔语、达玛拉语、龙语、精灵语、穆尔霍兰德语、兽人语或木族语。
The
half-elves of the Yuirwood speak Common, Elven, and Aglarondan. Aglarondan is a
relatively young language that developed from the blending of Elven with the
Damaran tongue of the human settlers who colonized the Yuirwood’s coasts five
hundred years ago. For bonus languages, half-elves often choose Chessentan,
Damaran, Draconic, Elven, Mulhorandi, Orc, or Sylvan.
所有普通的半精灵都有读写能力,除了野蛮人。
All
common half-elves are literate, except for barbarians.
半精灵魔法和知识Half-Elf
Magic and Lore
普通半精灵可以使用人类和精灵的种族法术。然而,他们没有自己的施法传统。阿格拉隆德奥术施法者经常跟随欣布选择她专注的魔法学派:塑能系和变化系。
Common
half-elves can use the racial spells of both humans and elves. They have no
spellcasting traditions of their own, however. Aglarondan arcane spellcasters
often follow the Simbul in the choice of magical schools in which she
concentrates: Evocation and Transmutation.
半精灵神祗Half-Elf
Deities
普通的半精灵可以选择任何人类或精灵神作为守护神。很多人都喜欢淑娜,因为爱让他们的父母在一起。阿格拉隆德普通的半精灵喜欢裳提亚、苏伦、维尔寇和精灵神系(席德瑞恩诸神)。那些生活在阿格拉隆德、善良阵营的半卓尔精灵带来了对舞蹈女士(伊莉丝翠的称号)的崇拜。还有许多普通的半精灵对伊莉丝翠的崇拜已经超越了那些血脉中有着卓尔血统的人,他们喜欢午夜狂欢——必须说,他们大多是吟游诗人——选择伊莉丝翠作为守护神。
Common
half-elves can choose any human or elven deity as a patron. Many favor Sune for
the love that brought their parents together. Aglarondan common half-elves favor
Chauntea, Selune, Valkur, and the elven pantheon (the Seldarine). Those
good-aligned half-drow who live in Aglarond have brought the worship of the Lady
of the Dance with them. The worship of Eilistraee has spread beyond those with
drow blood in their veins, and many common half-elves who enjoy midnight
revelries—mostly bards, it has to be said—choose Eilistraee as a
patron.
与其他种族关系Relations
with Other Races
阿格拉隆德的普通半精灵与大多数主要种族相处得很好。他们首先喜欢自己的同类,但他们也很乐意与人类和精灵,以及矮人、侏儒和半身人一起工作。阿格拉隆德的半精灵对半兽人有明显的容忍度。另一方面,阿格拉隆德人对塞尔人、穆尔霍兰德人和恩瑟人有着深深的怀疑。几个世纪以来,这些腐败的旧帝国一直在寻求控制阿格拉隆德半岛,尽管穆尔霍兰德和恩瑟在该地区已不再有领土野心,但阿格拉隆德的自由民仍有着悠久的记忆。
The
common half-elves of Aglarond get along well with most of the major races of
Faerun. They favor their own kind first and foremost, but they happily work with
both humans and elves too, as well as dwarves, gnomes, and halflings. The
halfelves of Aglarond show a marked tolerance of half-orcs. On the other hand,
Aglarondans are deeply suspicious of Thayans, Mulhorandi, and Untherites. These
old, corrupt empires have sought to control the Aglarondan peninsula for
centuries, and even though Mulhorand and Unther no longer have territorial
aspirations in the area, the free folk of Aglarond have long memories.
半精灵装备Half-Elf
Equipment
普通的半精灵没有自己独特的种族装备。然而,他们可以使用任何特定于人类或精灵的装备或武器。
Common
half-elves have no unusual racial equipment of their own. However, they can make
use of any equipment or weapons specific to humans or elves.
动物和宠物ANIMALS
AND PETS
普通的半精灵经常饲养动物和宠物,就像人类和精灵一样。由于许多阿格拉隆德的半精灵游侠或德鲁伊,他们通常有异常聪明,强壮,忠诚的动物伙伴。狼、鹰和白头鹰在阿格拉隆德很常见。
Common
half-elves often raise animals and keep pets of the sort that both humans and
elves do. Since many Aglarondan halfelves are rangers or druids, they often have
unusually smart, strong, and loyal animal companions. Wolves, hawks, and eagles
are common in Aglarond.
