半兽人在整个费伦地区相当普遍。他们没有真正可以称之为自己的家园，因此大多数半兽人寻找一个目标一生都在世界上徘徊。半兽人通常是人类和兽人结合的产物，但传说半兽人携带矮人、地精、大地精，甚至半身人、侏儒和精灵的血统。兽人是一个多产的种族，这样的故事很可能有某些事实来源。
Half-orcs are fairly common throughout Faerun. They have no true homeland to call their own and as a result most spend their lives wandering the world in search of a purpose. Half-orcs are invariably the product of a human and an orc, but stories are told of half-orcs carrying the blood of dwarves, goblins, hobgoblins, and even halflings, gnomes, and elves. Orcs are a fecund race, and such stories likely have some genesis in truth.
半兽人通常和人一样高，也有更重。他们的皮肤往往是灰色的，有绿色甚至紫色的底调，他们的脸上有倾斜的眉毛，突出的下巴和牙齿，扁平的，如同被挤压过的鼻子。这些和他们粗糙的体毛使他们的血统清晰可见。
A half-orc is usually about as tall as a human and a little heavier. Their skin tends to be gray with green or even purple undertones, and their faces feature sloping brows, jutting jaws with prominent teeth, and flat, squashed noses. This and their coarse body hair make their lineage plain for all to see.
历史History
半兽人在很长一段时间里都是费伦的一部分，但尽管如此，他们从未组织成一个真正的自己的文明。独树一帜的半兽人往往在他们所选择的领域获得巨大的力量，并在历史文本中广为人知，但他们的功绩总是以另一个人的名义，或（更常见的是）与任何特定文明无关的孤立事件。
Half-orcs have been a part of Faerun for a very long time, but nonetheless they have never organized into a true civilization of their own. Unique half-orcs often gain great power in their chosen field and become well known in history texts, but their exploits are always in the name of another people, or (more often) isolated incidents not tied to any particular civilization.
性格Outlook
大多数半兽人是暴躁的个体，他们忍受着可怕的童年。对人类而言他们太粗野，太野蛮；对兽人而言他们又太脆弱，太体贴。因此，大多数半兽人是独自成长的，没有受到任何兽人或人类社会的影响。因此，半兽人会说出他们的想法，并根据他们的感受行事，而不必担心后果。他们最好的情况是游牧民族、孤独者和隐士，最坏的情况就成为了杀人犯和野蛮人。
Most half-orcs are surly individuals who endured horrible childhoods. They are too coarse and savage to fit in well with humans, and too fragile and thoughtful to fit in with orcs. As a result, the majority of half-orcs grow up alone and without any influence from orc or human society. Thus, half-orcs speak their mind and act upon their feelings without any fear of repercussions. They are nomads, loners, and hermits at best, and murderers and savages at worst.
半兽人从很小的时候就学会了照顾自己，因为他们没有一个家，也没有家人或亲密的朋友可以依靠。但是这样通常被其他种族理解为贪婪或自私，但太多的半兽人已经学会了在任何土地上都不受欢迎的艰难生活方式，必须为自己提供食物。
Without a place to call a home, and often without a family or close friends to count on for companionship, half-orcs learn from an early age to look out for themselves. This is often interpreted as greed or selfishness by other races, but too many halforcs have learned the hard way that they are not welcome in any land, and must provide for themselves.
半兽人角色HALF-ORC CHARACTERS
半兽人的天然力量和韧性将他们强烈地推向战士和野蛮人，并远离施法职业。半兽人游荡者也很常见。
Half-orcs’ natural strength and toughness push them strongly toward fighters and barbarians and away from the spellcasting classes. Half-orc rogues are common as well.
受欢迎的职业：野蛮人；半兽人通常避开社会，因此必须强壮到能够在荒野中生存。
Favored Class: Barbarian; half-orcs shun society as a rule and as a result must be strong and able to survive in the wilderness.
进阶职业：半兽人在游牧旅行中，经常接触各种进阶职业。因此，对于一个更高级别的半兽人来说，在她能满足的任何进阶职业中拥有一个或两个职业的要求并不罕见。
Prestige Classes: Half-orcs, in their nomadic travels, are often exposed to a wide range of prestige classes. As a result, it isn’t unusual for a higher level half-orc to possess one or two levels in just about any prestige class she can meet the requirements for.
半兽人社会Half-Orc Society
尽管费伦的半兽人没有真正的民族来称呼他们自己，但世界上有一些小地区是由他们的同类统治的。奇怪的是，当半兽人聚集成这样的大群体时，他们往往比他们的兽人亲属更文明。例如，瓦萨的帕里斯加克城（Palischuk）是一座被一个由近一万半兽人组成的大部落从城市的废墟中重建的，他们现在与邻居进行和平贸易。另一个例子是塞斯克的菲珊特（Phsant），这个城市有着强大的灰色兽人的存在，并且半兽人的人口在增长。
Although the half-orcs of Faerun have no true nation to call their own, there are some small regions in the world that are ruled by their kind. Strangely, it seems that when half-orcs gather in large groups like this, they tend to be much more civilized than their feral orc kin. The city of Palischuk in Vaasa, for example, is a ruined city rebuilt by a large tribe of nearly ten thousand half-orcs who now trade peacefully with their neighbors. Another example is Phsant in Thesk, a city with a strong gray orc presence and a growing half-orc community.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
所有半兽人都说通用语和兽人语。他们在兽人和人类社会的边缘都被接受，并且能够与两者清晰地沟通，这极大地增加了半兽人寻找盟友的机会。尽管半兽人并不特别擅长语言，但他们学习其他语言的原因是游牧、流浪的生活方式。半兽人通常学习的其他语言包括达玛拉语、巨人语、豺狼人语、地精语、伊路斯坎语和地底通用语。
All half-orcs speak both Common and Orc. They are accepted on the fringes of both orc and human societies, and being able to communicate clearly with both dramatically increases a halforc’s chance to find allies. Although they don’t particularly make gifted linguists, half-orcs learn a number of other languages simply as a result of their nomadic, wandering lifestyles. Other languages commonly learned by half-orcs include Damaran, Giant, Gnoll, Goblin, Illuskan, and Undercommon.
除了野蛮人、导师、平民和战士外，所有个兽人都有读写能力。
All half-orcs are literate except for barbarians, adepts, commoners, and warriors.
能力和种族特征
半兽人拥有玩家手册中列出的所有半兽人种族特征。
Abilities and Racial Features
Half-orcs have all the half-orc racial features listed in the Player’s Handbook.
半兽人的魔法和知识Half-Orc Magic and Lore
半兽人没有一个他们可以称之为自己的集中社会，因此没有发展出任何独特的种族法术或施法传统。
Half-orcs do not have a centralized society that they can call their own, and as a result have not developed any unique racial spells or spellcasting traditions.
半兽人魔法物品HALF-ORC MAGIC ITEMS
为了保持他们对战争的嗜好，半兽人通常喜欢使用魔法武器和盔甲。他们的危险生活往往取决于他们的进攻和防御能力。像伪装帽子这样的东西很受半兽人的欢迎，因为他们居住在他们所憎恶或不信任的地方。
In keeping with their proclivity toward warfare, half-orcs prefer magic weapons and armor as a rule. Their dangerous lives often depend on their offensive and defensive capabilities. Items like hats of disguise are popular with half-orcs who dwell in regions where their kind is hated or mistrusted.
半兽人神祗Half-Orc Deities
那些和兽人亲属们在一起的半兽人崇拜兽人神系的神，而且通常比一般的兽人更有信仰和热情，因为许多半兽人觉得有必要向他们的神证明他们和他们的纯血兽人亲属一样强壮有力。那些不住在兽人中间的半兽人可以自由选择他们的神。这些半兽人的共同守护神包括班恩、卡瑞苟斯、霍尔、劳薇塔、玛拉、塔洛娜、坦帕斯和提尔。
Half-orcs who remain among their orc kindred worship the gods of the orc pantheon, often with greater belief and fervor than regular orcs since many half-orcs feel the need to prove to their deities that they are just as powerful and strong as their fullblooded orc kindred. Those half-orcs who do not dwell among orcs are free to choose their deities as they will. Common patron deities for such half-orcs include Bane, Garagos, Hoar, Loviatar, Malar, Talona, Tempus, and Tyr.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
半兽人在与其他大多数种族交往时都会有艰苦的战斗，因此许多人很快就认为他们的兽人血统带有一种固有的野蛮和残忍。大多数半兽人在与他人互动时都会回想起这种怀疑和恐惧。他们交朋友很困难。建立的信任往往因为一个转瞬即逝的事情被误解打破。通常，半兽人加入一个冒险组织，无论他们多少次证明了他们的忠诚，与她一同旅行同伴在一起都不会感到完全自在。
Half-orcs have uphill battles to fight when interacting with most other races, since many are quick to assume that their orcish blood carries with it an inherent savagery and cruelty. Most half-orcs return this suspicion and trepidation when interacting with others. They make friends only with difficulty. Once trust is established, it is often a fleeting thing that can be fractured with one misinterpreted comment. Often, a half-orc joins an adventuring company and never feels fully at ease with her traveling companions no matter how many times they have proven their loyalty.
半兽人装备Half-Orc Equipment
半兽人，作为一个种族，没有开发出任何独特类型的种族武器，不过许多半兽人喜欢兽人武器，如双斧。他们中的大多数人不会拥有比他们容易携带数量的更多的设备和装备，这既因为他们的游牧精神，也因为如果他们的邻居突然决定背叛他们，他们必须时刻准备好忍痛离开，继续前进。
Half-orcs, as a race, have not developed any unique types of exotic weapons, although many individuals favor orc weapons such as the double axe. Most of them are reticent about owning more equipment and gear than they can easily carry, both because of their nomadic spirits and because they must always be ready to tear up their roots and move on if their neighbors suddenly decide to turn on them.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
半兽人特别喜欢把动物当作宠物养，因为宠物对一个人的背景或种族没有什么先入为主的概念。猎狗、马和猎鹰都是很受欢迎的选择，那些特别擅长饲养动物的人有时会训练更危险的怪物，如枭熊、食蛛兽和凶暴动物作为宠物或奴仆。
Half-orcs are particularly fond of keeping animals as pets, since pets have few preconceived notions about a person’s background or race. Hunting dogs, horses, and falcons are all popular choices, and those with particular skill at Handle Animals sometimes train more dangerous monsters like owlbears, spider eaters, and dire animals as pets or minions.
