Regions: Dambrath, Elf (drow), Half-drow, the North.

在大多数土地上,半卓尔精灵是罕见的。因为有那么多卓尔精灵是如此邪恶,他们只能通过强奸或奴役与人类交配。唯一的例外是光辉南方丹布雷斯的半卓尔精灵,他们是从那片土地上的卓尔精灵对人类民族几百年来的征服中产生的。
In most lands, half-drow are rare. Since so many drow are irredeemably evil, they only mate with humans by way of rape or slavery. The only exception are the half-drow of the land of Dambrath in the Shining South, who arise from the centuries-old drow subjugation of the human folk of that land.
半卓尔精灵皮肤黝黑,有银色或白色的头发,还有各种各样颜色的眼睛。他们通常和他们的精灵父母一样冷漠,但由于知道他们被认为是卓尔社会的二等成员而产生了强烈的怨恨。在人类社会,半卓尔精灵几乎不信任他们的血亲表亲。尽管如此,善良半卓尔精灵比善良卓尔精灵要少很多。这是否与他们人类血液的影响有关,或是与反抗对待他们如此恶劣的卓尔精灵的欲望有关,都很难说清楚。
Half-drow have dusky skin, silver or white hair, and a broad range of eye colors. They are often just as dark-hearted as their elven parents, but with a bitter resentment that comes from knowing that they are considered second-class members of drow society. In human society, half-drow are distrusted nearly as much as their full-blooded cousins. Despite this, good half-drow are much less rare than good drow. Whether this has to do with the influence of their human blood, or the desire to rebel against the drow who treat them so poorly, is difficult to tell.
半卓尔精灵和其他半精灵使用相同的年龄类别。他们使用《玩家手册》中表6-6中的标准半精灵身高和体重条目。
Half-drow use the same age categories as other half-elves. They use the standard half-elven height and weight entries from Table 6–6 in the Player’s Handbook.
历史History
大约500年前,野蛮的人类王国丹布雷斯与附近的豺狼人岗哨山脉下强大的卓尔城邦T'Lindhet交战。当卓尔精灵获胜时,他们奴役了该地区的人类。在人类几代人的时间里,征服者黑暗精灵从奴隶手中夺走了人类的爱人,生下了了大量的半卓尔精灵。今天,这些半卓尔精灵占全国人口的15%左右。
Around 500 years ago, the barbaric human kingdom of Dambrath warred with the powerful drow city-state of T’lindhet beneath the nearby Gnollwatch Mountains. When the drow won, they enslaved the humans of the region. Over the course of several human generations, the conquering dark elves took human lovers from their slaves, resulting in a large number of halfdrow. Today, such people make up about 15% of the country’s population.
随着时间的推移,统治着的卓尔贵族在地面上花费的时间越来越少,回到他们的地下城市,把他们地表的征服留给了他们的混血儿。T'Lindhet的大家族把丹布雷斯广阔的土地分割成了他们的私人领地,他们的半卓尔精灵子孙为他们的大片土地充当好管家。这些半卓尔精灵的大家族统治着丹布雷斯直到今天,每个人名义上都忠于一座古老的T'Lindhet家族。在丹布雷斯,卓尔精灵的血脉是权力和财富的象征,但是当半卓尔精灵在地面上拜访他们在豺狼人岗哨山脉下的古老家族时,他们发现他们的纯血卓尔精灵亲戚将他们视为下级。
In time, the ruling drow nobles came to spend less and less time on the surface, returning to their subterranean city and leaving their surface conquests in the hands of their half-breed children. The great Houses of T’lindhet carved up the broad lands of Dambrath into their personal fiefs, and their halfdrow scions served as good stewards for their vast estates. These great old families of half-drow rule Dambrath to this day, each nominally loyal to an ancient House of T’lindhet. Drow blood is a sign of power and wealth in Dambrath, but when the halfdrow of the surface visit their ancient families below the Gnollwatch Mountains, they find that their full-blooded drow relations treat them as inferiors.
性格Outlook
丹布雷斯的半卓尔精灵结合了冷漠,屈尊傲慢和秘密羞耻。尽管他们认为自己在他们统治的人类中是更好的,但他们知道他们的卓尔表亲对他们的感觉是相似的。他们花了很多时间试图向周围的每个人证明自己,包括彼此。
Dambrathan half-drow combine cold, condescending arrogance with secret shame. Although they consider themselves the better of the humans over which they rule, they know that their drow cousins feel similarly about them. They spend a great deal of time trying to prove themselves to everyone around them, including each other.
许多半卓尔精灵成为冒险家,以逃避他们在丹布雷斯以外几乎每个社区所面临的偏见。另一方面,丹布雷斯常常远在家乡之外,以获取财富和名望,证明他们在家乡的优越性。
Many half-drow become adventurers to escape the bigotry they face in just about every community they find outside Dambrath. Dambrathans, on the other hand, often range far outside their homeland to garner the wealth and fame that can prove their superiority back home.
半卓尔精灵角色HALF-DROW CHARACTERS
丹布雷斯的半卓尔精灵通常是战士和法师,这是地面世界两条通往力量的捷径。与他们的卓尔精灵祖先的母系社会不同,半卓尔展示了与其他半精灵相同的适应性。因此,他们中的许多人选择了多职业。
The half-drow of Dambrath are often fighters and wizards—two quick paths to power on the surface world. Unlike the castedriven society their drow forebears came from, half-drow show all the adaptability of other half-elves. Accordingly, many of them opt to multiclass.
受欢迎的职业:半卓尔精灵等级最高的职业一个被认为是他最喜欢的。
Favored Class: The highest class a half-drow has is considered his favored class.
进阶职业:半卓尔精灵可以使用任何对人类开放的进阶职业。他们还可以成为魔弓手、魔法歌者和剑咏者进阶职业。
Prestige Classes: Half-drow can use any prestige classes open to humans. They also have access to the arcane archer, spellslinger, and bladesinger prestige classes.
半卓尔精灵社会Half-Drow Society
在丹布雷斯社会,半卓尔精灵天生就是贵族。他们长大后很娇惯,但人们对他们寄予厚望。当他们长大后,他们必须尽最大努力证明他们配得上自己的血统。如果他们失败了,他们会使整个家庭蒙羞,并且可能会因羞耻而被驱逐出境。
In Dambrathan society, half-drow are aristocrats by birth. They grow up pampered, but a great deal is expected of them. When they become adults, they must do their best to prove that they are worthy of their blood. If they fail, they disgrace their entire family, and may be disowned and expelled from the country in shame.
上了年纪的半卓尔精灵证明了自己的能力,他们可以安顿下来,教给年轻人他们所知道的。否则,他们必须坚持他们所选择的职业,直到他们最终被认为是有价值的。无论如何,老一辈的半卓尔精灵很少在年老之后长寿,因为这会削弱他们的力量,而总有年轻的亲戚渴望有机会获得老一辈半卓尔精灵的财富和地位。
Elderly half-drow who have proved themselves can settle down and teach the younger ones what they know. Otherwise they must keep at their chosen profession until they finally are deemed worthy. In any event, elderly half-drow rarely live long after age begins to weaken them, since there are always younger relations hungry for the opportunity to claim the wealth and station of an aged half-drow.
在丹布雷斯城外,许多半卓尔精灵都是精神孤独的,他们宁愿保持自己的意见,也不愿用别人的意见来玷污自己。有时,他们联合成一个自私自利的群体,经常欺负那些他们觉得可以恐吓的人。
Outside Dambrath, many half-drow are solitary souls, preferring to keep their own counsel than sully themselves with the opinions of others. Other times, they band together into a self-important group, often bullying those they feel they can intimidate.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
半卓尔精灵会说精灵语和他们家乡的人类语言。如果他们是在幽暗地域里长大的,或是在丹布雷斯长大的,他们会说地底通用语。另外,他们也说通用语。
Half-drow speak Elven and the human tongue of their home region. If they were raised in the Underdark or Dambrath, they speak Undercommon. Otherwise, they speak Common.
除了野蛮人,所有半卓尔精灵都有读写能力。
All half-drow are literate, except for barbarians.
能力和种族特征
半卓尔精灵拥有《玩家手册》中列出的所有半精灵种族特征,以下情况除外:

•卓尔血统。在处理所有特殊的能力和效果判定时,半卓尔精灵被视为卓尔精灵。
Abilities and Racial Features

半卓尔精灵魔法和知识Half-Drow Magic and Lore
半卓尔精灵可以使用人类和卓尔精灵的种族法术。然而,他们没有自己的施法传统。
Half-drow can use the racial spells of both humans and drow. They have no spellcasting traditions of their own, however.
常见的魔法物品:由于劳薇塔在丹布雷斯的影响,魔法鞭子可以从半卓尔精灵处以10%的折扣购买。
Common Magic Items: Due to Loviatar’s influence in Dambrath, magic whips can be purchased at a 10% discount from the half-drow.
半卓尔精灵神祗Half-Drow Deities
半卓尔精灵可以选择任何人类或卓尔神祗作为守护神。丹布雷斯的半卓尔精灵几乎总是在卓尔精灵神系中选择一个守护神,或者更好的选择是劳薇塔。善良的半卓尔精灵几乎总是选择伊莉丝翠作为他们的守护神。对于许多善良的半卓尔精灵来说,选择伊莉丝翠是他们传统中双方的妥协,这样他们就可以幸福地生活在一起。
Half-drow can choose any human or drow deity as a patron. Dambrathan half-drow almost always choose either a patron among the drow pantheon or, better yet, Loviatar. Good halfdrow almost always take Eilistraee as their patron. For many half-drow of good heart, choosing Eilistraee is a compromise between both sides of their heritage, one that they can happily live with.
劳薇塔的信仰在丹布雷斯的民间有着特殊的地位。这位疼痛和苦难的女神在卓尔精灵征服这片土地之前在丹布雷斯有追随者。事实上,如果没有劳薇塔教派的帮助,卓尔精灵可能永远不能占领这个国家。就她而言,对劳薇塔的崇拜仍然是丹布雷斯的官方信仰,住在那里的大多数半卓尔精灵都遵循这条路线。
Loviatar’s faith has a peculiar place among the folk of Dambrath. This goddess of pain and suffering had a following in Dambrath before the drow conquered the land. In fact, without the aid of Loviatar’s cult, the drow might never have taken the country at all. In respect for her, the worship of Loviatar is still the official faith of Dambrath, and most half-drow who live there follow this line.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
大多数半卓尔精灵和其他半卓尔精灵以外的人相处不好。丹布雷斯真的是这样的人聚集的地方。善良的半卓尔精灵在被接受或理解时通常是友好的,但在其他时候则是冷漠的。他们非常了解大多数人对他们的卓尔亲属的感觉,更进一步地说,对他们的感觉。
Most half-drow don’t get along well with anyone outside other half-drow. Dambrath is really the place for such people. Good half-drow are often friendly when approached with acceptance or understanding, but standoffish otherwise. They know all too well how most people feel about their drow kin and, by extension, them.
半卓尔精灵装备Half-Drow Equipment
半卓尔精灵自己没有不寻常的种族装备。然而,他们可以使用任何人类或卓尔精灵特殊的装备或武器。他们特别喜欢手弩。
However, they can make use of any equipment or weapons special to humans or drow. They have a particular fondness for the hand crossbow.
半卓尔精灵地区Half-Drow Region
虽然许多土生土长的达布瑞斯半卓尔精灵选择这个地区,一个半卓尔精灵生活在更北方的土地时是侨民和孤独者。这个地区是描述了一个孤独的半卓尔精灵,家乡在科曼索或北部的林地。
While many half-drow native to Dambrath choose that region, a half-drow character living in more northerly lands is an expatriate and loner. This region represents a solitary half-drow native to the woodlands of Cormanthor or the North.
