火元素裔通常被认为是热血的和容易生气的,他们的行为赢得了这个名声。他们善变、骄傲,而且常常无所畏惧,他们不满足于坐着看世界从他们身边经过。火元素裔有明显的身体特征,这标志着他们不同于人类,他们往往被他人不信任和迫害。一些火元素裔能够用他们的机敏扭转局面,反过来对付那些折磨他们的人,而另一些人则发现,他们那些尖酸刻薄的话只会让他们的敌人更加愤怒。许多火元素裔在婴儿时期就被自己的父母毁灭了,他们害怕这些婴儿是恶魔。
Fire genasi are usually thought of as hot-blooded and quick to anger, and they have earned that reputation. Mercurial, proud, and often fearless, they are not content to sit and watch the world pass them by. Fire genasi have obvious physical traits that mark them as different from humans, and they are often the target of mistrust and persecution. Some fire genasi are able to use their quick wits to turn the tables on their tormentors, while others find that their barbed words only make their foes more angry. Many fire genasi are destroyed as infants by their own parents, who fear that they are demonspawn.
费伦的大部分火元素裔都是曾经统治卡利姆山的火巨灵的后裔。这种衍生出来的神魔裔生活在充满阴谋的土地上,有些人离开了他们的祖先的家园,以逃避卡林杉人对巨灵的恐惧和偏见。楚尔特、蒸汽湖和恩瑟也有少量的火元素裔,因为这些陆地上有火山,有时作为火元素位面天然的入口,允许火巨灵和其他炽热的异界生物与人类接触。据了解,一一个巨大的火元素裔半身人生活在恩瑟,但与穆尔霍兰德的战争使他们流离失所,目前下落不明。
Most fire genasi in Faerun are descended from the efreet that once ruled Calimshan. Planetouched of this derivation live all over the Lands of Intrigue, and some have traveled away from their ancestral homeland to escape the fear and prejudice that Calishites bear for genies. Chult, the Lake of Steam, and Unther also have a small number of fire genasi, for those lands bear volcanoes that sometimes act as natural portals to the Elemental Plane of Fire, allowing efreet and other fiery outsiders to make contact with humans. A large family of fire genasilike halflings was known to live in Unther, but the war with Mulhorand has displaced them and their current whereabouts are unknown.
火元素裔显然不是完全的人类,除了一两个与他们的元素祖先相关的特殊特征外,火元素裔大多具有人类的特征。这些特点的一些例子是:
Fire genasi are obviously not fully human, having mostly human features except for one or two exceptional traits related to their elemental ancestor. Some examples of these features are:
炭灰色的皮肤
深红色的皮肤
如火焰般起伏的红色或橙色头发
当火元素裔愤怒时,眼睛会发光
异常温暖的皮肤
大红色的牙齿
总是闻起来像烟的味道
charcoal gray skin
deep red skin
red or orange hair that waves like flames
eyes that glow when the genasi is angry
unusually warm skin
large red teeth
always smells like smoke
火元素裔为他们的祖先感到骄傲,认为自己比正常人优越,尽管聪明的人不会把这当回事。因为卡林杉的出生于火巨灵的元素裔几乎没有机会找到他们原始的元素祖先(他们的帝国被推翻后,他们的祖先早已被杀害、流放或监禁),所以他们没有努力这样做,也没有享受祖先的鲜血赐予他们的礼物。火元素裔喜欢和自己同类的人在一起,他们组成了法师或战士的精英团队,根据他们的技能和传统组织自己的公司。他们也收养了人类父母的火元素裔孩子。
Fire genasi are proud of their ancestry and consider themselves superior to normal humans, although the smarter ones don’t make an issue of it. Because the efreet-descended genasi of Calimshan have almost no chance of finding their original elemental ancestor (who have long since been slain, banished, or imprisoned when their empire was overthrown), they make no effort to do so and enjoy the gifts that ancestor’s blood has granted them. Fire genasi enjoy the company of their own kind and have been known to form elite groups of mages or fighters that hire themselves out on the basis of their skill and heritage. They have been known to adopt the fire genasi children of human parents as well.
火元素裔和人类有相同的预期寿命和年龄类别。
Fire genasi have the same life expectancy and age categories as a human.
历史History
费伦的大部分火元素裔是数千年前卡林杉人类与火巨灵结合的结果。这些火巨灵统治者拥有人类情人,他们的半元素的后代作为他们的异界生物父母的护卫,顾问,或外交官,最终他们有了自己的孩子,而这些孩子往往不是火元素裔。巨灵的被推翻导致了对这片土地上所有神魔裔的大规模屠杀和人口分散,从那时起,那些携带着火巨灵血统的人们与其他土地上的人类混居在了一起。现在这些血统的火元素裔可能是任何一个人类,而且很多根本不像卡林杉人。
Most fire genasi in Faerun are the result of human-efreeti unions that occurred thousands of years ago in Calimshan. These efreet rulers took human lovers, and their half-elemental offspring served their outsider parent as guards, advisors, or diplomats, eventually having children of their own, which as often as not were fire genasi. The overthrow of the genies resulted in a great slaughter and scattering of all the planetouched in that land, and since that time those people carrying the bloodline of efreet have mixed with humans in other lands. Now fire genasi of these bloodlines might be of any human race, and many do not resemble the people of Calimshan at all.
起源于其他地区的火元素裔没有共同的历史,因为他们的血统是罕见的和无关的事件。
Fire genasi who originate in other lands have no common history, as their bloodlines are rare and unassociated occurrences.
性格Outlook
火元素裔是一个骄傲的民族,他们知道自己是伟大巨灵的后代。他们喜欢穿得优雅华丽,陶醉于自己的不同之处,宣扬自己优越的品味和能力。火元素裔尊重他们的纯元素亲属,大多数人以极大的礼貌和尊重对待火巨灵和其他其他巨大地火焰异界生物,这既出于对生物力量的感知,也出于对自身天赋的一种微妙的感激。因为他们对自己的高度评价,火元素裔经常选择自己作为一个群体的领导者和发言人,即使他们在这些领域没有特殊的天赋。
The fire genasi are a proud people, knowing that they are born of great genies. They prefer to dress elegantly and flamboyantly, reveling in their differences and advertising their superior taste and abilities. Fire genasi respect their pure elemental kin, and most treat efreet and other large fire outsiders with a great deal of courtesy and respect, both out of a sense of the creature’s power and as a subtle gratitude for their own bloodline-granted talents. Because of their high opinions of themselves, fire genasi often elect themselves the leader and spokesperson of a group, even if they have no particular talents in those areas.
火元素裔是没有耐心的,不喜欢需要大量时间和学习的追求。他们喜欢旅行,哪怕只是为了逃避敌人或挫败他们的人。火元素裔喜欢收集财宝,相比一袋袋的钱币,他们更喜欢珠宝。
Fire genasi are impatient and don’t take well to pursuits that require a lot of time and study. They like to travel, if only to escape the presence of their enemies or people who frustrate them. Fire-genasi enjoy collecting treasure, preferring jewelry to bags of coins.
火元素裔角色FIRE GENASI CHARACTERS
火元素裔是聪明的战士,但是很多人却选择了野蛮人的道路,因为它更容易,更能激起人们的杀戮欲望。更多的火元素裔成为术士而不是法师,即使他们的天赋表明他们不适合术士。火元素裔更喜欢谈论自己而不是别人,这一点和他们自己的暴躁脾气使他们成为蹩脚的吟游诗人。能感受到圣骑士召唤的火元素裔通常是那种头脑发热、不愿被俘虏的人,他们可能会失去控制。
Fire genasi make smart fighters, but many follow the barbarian’s path instead, because it is easier and espouses the heat of bloodlust. More fire genasi become sorcerers than wizards, even though their natural talents would indicate otherwise. Fire genasi would much rather talk about themselves than other people, and that and their own short tempers make them poor bards. The rare fire genasi who feels the call of the paladin is often the hotheaded, take-no-prisoners sort who risks losing control.
受欢迎的职业:战士。对于一个火元素裔来说,战争的混乱是很容易理解的。
Favored Class: Fighter. The mayhem of combat is easy for someone born of fire to understand.
进阶职业:火元素裔在以战争为导向的进阶职业中没有特别的偏好。许多人成为火焰神祗的奥术信徒,尤其卡署斯。
Prestige Classes: Fire genasi have no particular favorites among the warfare-oriented prestige classes. Many become arcane devotees of fire deities, especially Kossuth.
火元素裔社会Fire Genasi Society
火元素裔在同类中很有竞争性,但他们的竞争很少是致命的。即使是两个有着截然不同的阵营或哲学的火元素裔,也能够放下他们的剑来讨论自然元素和比较历史,当他们互殴之后,他们更有可能请求和宽恕,而不是直接杀死对方。尽管他们脾气暴躁,但火元素裔之间的争论很快就会平息,但他们的盟友或仆从可能会遭受闷烧的后果。
Fire genasi are competitive among their kind, but their rivalry is rarely lethal. Even two fire genasi of radically different alignments or philosophies are capable of putting down their swords for a talk on elemental nature and comparative histories, and should they come to blows they are more likely to ask for and grant mercy than slay each other outright. Although they have hot tempers, arguments between fire genasi quickly burn out, although their allies or minions might suffer the smoldering aftereffects.
除了这种友好的玩笑,火元素裔经常很多年都没有见到自己的同类。火元素裔起源于一个强大而亲密(如果充满争论)的社会,当环境允许时,火元素裔仍然倾向于聚集在一起。由两位火元素裔父母养大的孩子在他们的父母身上看到了各种各样的情感,从非凡的激情和史诗到尖叫比赛和扔家具。这被认为是正常的,他们被教导说,没有活力的生活是不值得过的。
Other than this friendly banter, fire genasi often go for years without seeing one of their own kind. Descended from beings who have strong and close (if argumentative) society, fire genasi still have a tendency to collect in groups when circumstances allow. Children raised by two fire genasi parents see a wide range of emotions in their parents, from phenomenal passion and epic poetry to screaming matches and thrown furniture. This is accepted as normal, and they are taught that a life not lived vigorously is not worth living.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
尽管有些人学习火族语是为了营造一种异国情调,但火元素裔并不使用任何种族语言。火一个火元素裔通常学习她父母的语言和她家乡的其他语言。
Fire genasi share no racial language, although some learn Ignan for the sake of cultivating an exotic air. A fire genasi usually learns the language of her parents and other languages spoken in her native region.
除了野蛮人之外,所有的火元素裔都有读写能力。
All fire genasi are literate, except for barbarians.
火元素裔魔法和知识Fire Genasi Magic and Lore
火焰描述的魔法显然是火元素裔的魔法开始的地方,而这又意味着来自咒法学派和塑能学派的法术。
Magic with the Fire descriptor is the obvious place to start, and that in turn means spells from the schools of Conjuration and Evocation.
法术和施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
因为他们对火法术和效果有如此好的豁免调整值,火元素裔施法者可以冒险使用其他施法者不敢尝试的特技,比如将火球对准自己。智力和魅力之间的差异意味着大多数火元素裔的奥术施法者将是法师,而不是吟游诗人或术士。他们的(防火)咒语书里经常是一页又一页的火焰魔法。
Because they have such good saving throws against fire spells and effects, a fire genasi spellcaster can risk stunts that no other spellcaster dares try, such as centering a fireball on herself. The disparity between Intelligence and Charisma means that most fire genasi arcanists will be wizards, not bards or sorcerers. Their (fireproof) spellbooks are often page after page of fire spells.
火元素裔神祗Fire Genasi Deities
火元素裔没有种族共同的神祗。由于火元素裔的牧师必须选择授予火焰领域的神祗,所有火元素裔的牧师都崇拜贡德、卡署斯或塔烙斯。因为他们没有耐心,火元素裔通常会在短时间内以牧师的身份前进,然后在另一个职业中前进。那些不够虔诚而不能成为牧师的人崇拜火焰神祗或战神。
Fire genasi have no common racial deity. Since fire genasi clerics must choose deities that grant the Fire domain, all fire genasi clerics worship Gond, Kossuth, or Talos. Because they are impatient, quite often a fire genasi will advance a short while as a cleric and progress in another class thereafter. Those who are not devout enough to be clerics worship fire deities or martial deities.
在传统上,很少有火元素裔崇拜贡德,因为他代表了创造的技能,这需要太多的耐心来满足他们的喜好。然而,一些火元素裔已经发现了火药武器的奇迹,现在开始崇拜创造这个装置的奇迹使者。这些热心的火枪手经常被雇来看守装运神奇的炸药。
Traditionally, few fire genasi worshiped Gond, for he represents the skill of crafting, which requires too much patience for their liking. However, a number of fire genasi have discovered the wonders of smokepowder weapons and now worship the Wonderbringer for the creation of this device. These zealous fusiliers are often hired to guard shipments of the magical explosive.
卡署斯是火元素裔的最爱,因为他代表了赋予他们特殊天赋的元素的顶点。他们尊敬他火热的一面,而不是净化的一面。卡署斯对他的火元素裔崇拜者没有表现出不寻常的偏爱。风暴之王塔烙斯欢迎任何涉及毁灭的崇拜,而一些火元素裔非常享受他们本性中破坏性的一面,因此塔烙斯是他们唯一明确的选择。他的信仰在火元素裔术士中很受欢迎。
Kossuth is a favorite among fire genasi, for he represents the apex of the element that grants them their special gifts. They revere his fiery aspect rather than his purification aspect. Kossuth shows no unusual favor toward his fire genasi worshipers. Talos, the Stormlord, welcomes any worship involving destruction, and some fire genasi enjoy the destructive aspect of their nature so much that Talos is the only clear choice for them. His faith is very popular among fire genasi sorcerers.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
火元素裔认为他们自己高于所有其他种族,但因为他们自己的人类血液而接受人类。矮人、侏儒和半身人都太矮了,不值得认真对待,精灵太注重长期的后果,半兽人太愚蠢了。土元素裔行动太慢,水元素裔太冷静,风元素裔太轻浮,而阿斯莫和提夫林则太忧郁。火元素裔很快对其他种族的“失败”失去了耐心,除了人类或其他火元素裔,他们很少与任何人交朋友。
Fire genasi consider themselves above all other races but accept humans because of their own human blood. Dwarves, gnomes, and halflings are too short to be taken seriously, elves are too focused on the long-term consequences, and half-orcs are too stupid. Earth genasi are too slow to act, water genasi too dispassionate, air genasi too flighty, and aasimar and tieflings too morose. Fire genasi quickly become impatient with the “failings” of other races and rarely make friends with anyone but humans or other fire genasi.
火元素裔装备Fire Genasi Equipment
火之神喜欢西洋剑、弯刀、匕首和带刃的长柄武器。他们没有传统的装备和盔甲。
Fire genasi prefer weapons such as rapiers, scimitars, falchions, and bladed polearms. They have no traditional equipment or armor.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
火神喜欢快速且耐热的宠物,比如沙漠蜥蜴。一些住在卡林杉附近荒原的术士发现了如何获得一只超小型变种蜈蚣或超小型变种蝎子作为魔宠。这些魔宠被当作长毛蜘蛛魔宠一样对待,在《被遗忘的国度战役设定集》的第27页有描述。
Fire genasi prefer pets that are fast and heat-tolerant, such as desert lizards. Some sorcerers who live in the wastelands near Calimshan have found how to acquire a tiny monstrous centipede or tiny monstrous scorpion as a familiar. Such familiars are treated in the same way as the hairy spider familiars, described on page 27 of the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting.
