半人狮是一种半人马一样的生物,其躯干的上半部分位于狮子宽阔的肩膀上。他们是一个骄傲而高贵的民族,可能是费伦最熟练的猎手。半人狮从头部到臀部有10到12英尺长,从前爪到头顶有6到7英尺高。它们重约600磅。从头到尾都是暗金色的皮毛。它们的尾巴上有一簇黑色的毛发,雄性有长长的黑色鬃毛。半人狮的脸是人形和狮子的混合体,他们金色的眼睛有着猫一样的瞳孔。他们的耳朵在头上,四肢末端都有爪子,但是它们的手和前爪的爪子是可伸缩的。
Wemics are centaurlike creatures with the upper torso of a humanoid atop a lion’s broad shoulders. They are a proud and noble people who may be the most skillful hunters in all Faerun. From head to rump, wemics are 10 to 12 feet long, and they stand 6 to 7 feet tall from their front paws to the tops of their heads. They weigh around 600 pounds. Dusky golden fur covers them from head to tail. Their tails feature a brush of black hair, and the males have a long black mane. Wemics’ faces are a mixture of humanoid and leonine, and their golden eyes have the slitted pupils of a cat. Their ears are set high on their heads. All six of their limbs end in claws, but the ones on their hands and their front paws are retractable.
半人狮的幼儿时间仅有5年,平均寿命约为40岁。大多数的半人狮在远远早于他们的寿限的年龄死于大草原上危险的狩猎中。
Wemics remain children for only five years, and live about 40 years on average. Most wemics die in dangerous hunts on the savanna long before age can take them.
半人狮的预期寿命和年龄与半兽人相同。
Wemics have the same life expectancy and age categories as half-orcs.
历史History
半人狮是一个部落民族,没有书写 技能,也没有兴趣记录历史。大自然给了半人狮猎场,所以他们用牙齿和利爪对抗来自四面八方的文明。半人狮并不是邪恶的,他们并不想伤害任何人,但他们确实希望陌生人远离他们的狩猎场和他们丰富的猎物。
The wemics are a tribal people with no writing skills or interest in recording history. Nature gave the wemics their hunting grounds, so they fight tooth and claw against the civilizations encroaching upon them from all sides. The wemics aren’t evil and don’t want to hurt anyone in particular, but they do want strangers to stay well clear of their hunting grounds and the wemics’ plentiful prey.
少部分半人狮部落生活在安诺奥克南部干旱的平原和突米斯西部光耀平原上。然而,大多数的半人狮属于游牧部落,他们在夏亚的广大地区游荡。在过去的几个世纪里,半人狮曾多次组成庞大的部落,驱赶不断入侵的人类殖民,尤其是在恩瑟和穆尔霍兰德的南部边境。
Small tribes of wemics live in the arid plains of southern Anauroch and the Shining Plains west of Turmish. However, most wemics belong to large, nomadic tribes that roam vast regions of the Shaar. Several times over the last few centuries, Shaaran wemics have formed great hordes to drive off encroaching human settlement, especially along the southern frontiers of Unther and Mulhorand.
性格Outlook
半人狮与自然和谐相处,没有文明,并以此为傲。他们避开了文明的道路,因为他们不明白,既然天空本身就是她的屋顶,为什么还有人愿意住在瓦屋顶下。半人狮是一个骄傲的民族,通常不轻易发怒,但他们对那些把他们对人类社会的不熟悉视为无知的文明人没有耐心。
Wemics live in harmony with nature, uncivilized and proud of it. They eschew the ways of civilization, since they can’t see why anyone would ever want to live under a shingled roof when she could have the sky itself as her roof. Wemics are a proud people, usually slow to anger, but they have no patience for civilized folk who take their lack of familiarity with human society for ignorance.
半人狮从很小的时候就开始学习打猎和战斗。大部分狩猎活动都是由女性完成的。雄性有时会领头捕猎,但更多时候它们会在平原上漫步,保护狮群免受外来威胁。
Wemics learn to hunt and fight from a very young age. Female wemics do most of the hunting. The males sometimes lead the hunt, but more often they roam the plains, protecting the pride from outside threats.
半人狮探险家有时会离开他们偏僻的家乡去看更多的世界。他们着迷于在他们的领土上旅行的各色各样的人类商人。随着文明一年比一年逼近他们的狩猎场,一些更具冒险精神的半人狮意识到,为了他们的狮群,他们应该在一切还来得及之前尽可能地了解邻居的一切。
Adventuring wemics sometimes leave their remote homes to see more of the world. They are fascinated by the colorful human merchants who travel through their territory. With civilization creeping closer to their hunting lands every year, some of the more adventurous wemics realize that it’s in the interest of the pride for them to learn everything they can about their neighbors before it is too late.
半人狮角色WEMIC CHARACTERS
半人狮中有许多德鲁伊,因为德鲁依与自然很接近。在他们的部落中没有其他的施法者,不过曾在“文明”世界中生活过一段时间的半人狮有时会提升各种施法者的等级。毫无疑问,在任何情况下半人狮最喜欢的职业都是野蛮人。
Close as they are to nature, there are many druids among the wemics. They have no other spellcasters in their tribes, although wemics that have spent some time in the “civilized” world have sometimes picked up levels as various kinds of spellcasters. In any case, the wemic’s favored class is, of course, barbarian.
半人狮社会Wemic Society
半人狮的生活很简单。他们一天的大部分时间都用来玩耍,晒太阳,或者寻找食物。在一个半身人的狮群中,通常有1到4只雄性,2到12只雌性,1到6只幼崽。幼崽们被允许自由玩耍直到5岁,在这个年龄,它们被带出来进行第一次捕猎或进行第一次杀戮。一旦他们证明了自己,他们就会被认为是成年人。
Life as a wemic is simple. Most of the day is spent playing around, basking in the sun, or hunting for food. In a single pride of wemics, there are usually 1 to 4 males, 2 to 12 females, and 1 to 6 cubs. The cubs are allowed to play freely until they reach 5 years of age, at which point they are brought out on their first hunt to make their first kill. Once they have proven themselves, they are considered adults.
在这些狮群中,雄性会在夜间巡逻,保护狮群不受任何威胁。它们大多在白天睡觉,在这个时候雌性则在觅食。狮群的领导者是最强壮的男性。当他最终面临挑战并被剥夺权力后,他通常会独自生活,或者与其他因各种原因而失去狮群的男性为邻。有时狮群会联合起来组成一个部落,相比狮群,这个部落能够抵御更大的威胁。年长的半人狮的速度会越来越慢,被掠食者从狮群中带走,就像一个饥饿的人可能会杀死一群羚羊一样。这被认为是事物的自然规律。一些年长的半人狮,意识到他们拖累了狮群,他们就会漫步到最近的类人社区,从狮群中退休而在其他地方开始全新的生活。
In these prides, the males spend the nights patrolling the area, protecting the pride from any threats. They mostly sleep during the day while the females hunt for food. The leader of the pride is the strongest male. When he is eventually challenged and removed from power, he usually wanders off to live alone or join with other males who have left their prides for various reasons. Sometimes prides join together to form a tribe that can defend itself against a threat larger than a single pride could handle. Older wemics eventually slow down too much and are picked off from the pride by predators, much in the same way that a wemic might cull a herd of antelope. This is considered the natural order of things. Some older wemics, realizing that they are slowing down the pride, instead wander into the nearest humanoid community, retiring from the pride but taking up a whole new life elsewhere.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
半人狮通常讲木族语。能够与外来者交流的半人狮通会学习通用语用于在自己的家乡受雇成为向导或侦察兵,或者(更常见的)警告殖民者或狩猎队不要进入自己的领地。
Wemics normally speak Sylvan. Wemics who interact with outsiders pick up Common to hire themselves as guides or scouts in their homelands, or (more often) to warn away settlers or hunting parties trespassing on wemic territory.
所有的半人狮都没有读写能力,除了那些拥有野蛮人以外职业的玩家角色。
All wemics are illiterate, except for those with a player character class other than barbarian.

• Monstrous Humanoid Hit Dice: A wemic has 5d8 racial Hit Dice. A wemic character receives the maximum hit points for his first monstrous humanoid Hit Die and rolls his other monstrous humanoid Hit Dice normally. He rolls all Hit Dice from class levels and does not automatically get maximum hit points on his first class-level Hit Die. A wemic’s racial Hit Dice also provide a +5 base attack bonus and saving throws of Fort +1, Ref +4, and Will +4. Wemics with class levels add their class attack bonus and save bonuses to their racial attack bonus and saves.

• Favored Class: Barbarian.
• Level Adjustment: +3. Due to his 5 racial Hit Dice, his natural attacks, and his racial skill bonus, a wemic has an effective character level of 8 plus his class levels. Thus, a 5th-level wemic barbarian would have an ECL of 13. See Table 1 in the Introduction for more information.
半人狮神祗Wemic Deities
半人狮崇拜诺班恩,高贵的动物和林地生物的半神。诺班恩是一个自然神,可以给予半人狮德鲁伊和游侠神术。一些半人狮被玛拉的野性嗜血所诱惑,转而崇拜野兽领主。
Wemics worship Nobanion, the demigod of noble animals and woodland creatures. Nobanion is a nature deity and may grant spells to wemic druids and rangers. Some wemics are lured by the feral bloodlust of Malar, and worship the Beastlord instead.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
尽管他们是孤立的,半人狮对其他种族没有太多的看法。他们更愿意与那些认识到自然的神圣的人打交道,但他们指引任何人通过或绕过自己的领土。
Isolated as they are, wemics don’t have much of an opinion about the other races. They prefer to deal with people who recognize the sanctity of nature, but they are willing to guide just about anyone through or around their homelands for the right deal.
半人狮装备Wemic Equipment
半人狮更喜欢使用棍棒、长矛和大的木制盾牌。他们只使用自己能制造的武器。
Wemics prefer to use clubs, spears, and large wooden shields. They only use weapons they can make themselves.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
半人狮对所有的动物都怀有深深的敬意,尤其是他们最常猎杀的猎物。它们小心翼翼地避免从同一群动物中捕杀太多的猎物,而且捕杀的猎物永远不会超过它们的食量。有些类人种族的猎手为了获取动物身体的一小部分(比如犀牛角)而猎杀动物,然后丢弃动物尸体,这激怒了半人狮。
Wemics hold a deep reverence for all animals, especially the game animals they hunt most often. They are careful not to take too many kills from the same herd, and never kill more than they can eat. Wemics are enraged by humanoid hunters who slay an animal for a small portion of its body, such as a rhino’s horn, and then abandon the carcass.
