巴尔Bhaal(读作“Bahl”)是 黑暗诸神the Dark Gods 的一员。他是死亡,尤其是谋杀、暗杀与暴力杀戮之神。在 费伦大陆Faerûn 他曾是一支强大的信仰,不可计数的刺客、暴力佣兵和其他恶魔般的残忍杀手对他崇敬有加。在其在世时,劳薇塔Loviatar 和 塔洛娜Talona 均为巴尔效力(虽然这两位女神彼此互为竞争对手),而他本尊则转而侍奉着 班恩Bane。
Bhaal (Bahl), one of the Dark Gods, was the god of death, particularly of slaying, assassination, and violent death. His was a powerful faith in Faerûn at one time, and the Lord of Murder was venerated by numerous assassins, violent mercenaries, and other brutal and fiendish killers. While he lived, Loviatar and Talona served him (though the two were rivals to each other), and he in turn served Bane.
巴尔一直是个暴力、残忍、可憎的家伙,他的生命意义便是狩猎与谋杀。他时而冷酷无情、精于算计,时而充满野蛮的嗜血欲。活物的存在将为谋杀之主注入一种致命的饥饿感和对杀戮与破坏的强烈需求。他的爪牙们,譬如 月影群岛Moonshae Islands 的 “野兽”卡兹戈洛斯Kazgoroth the Beast 无论走到何处,都在散播破坏与暴力的死亡。
Bhaal was violent, cruel, and hateful at all times, and lived only to hunt and murder. He could be alternately cold, calculating, and ruthless or filled with a savage bloodlust. The presence of living creatures instilled a deadly hunger in the Lord of Murder and an overpowering need to kill and destroy. His minions, such as Kazgoroth the Beast in the Moonshae Islands, wrought devastation and violent death wherever they roamed.
在 动荡之年Time of Troubles 前,巴尔经历了一系列的挫折,其中最重要的是他被逐出了月影群岛。巴尔试图毁灭 大地之母the Earthmother(裳提亚Chauntea),并夺取月影群岛作为自己的私人领地。被灌输了比正常化身多得多的巴尔精华的 蹂躏者The Ravager,被 弗佛克人的至高王High King of the Ffolk 特里斯坦Tristan 挥舞 辛瑞克德·修之剑Sword of Cymrjch Hugh 弑杀。巴尔因此被严重削弱,并被逐出了 诸国度the Realms 一段时间。
Bhaal suffered a series of reverses prior to the Time of Troubles, the most vital being his banishment from the Moonshaes. Bhaal tried to destroy the Earthmother (Chauntea) and seize the Moonshae Islands as his personal domain. The Ravager, imbued with a greater fraction of Bhaal's essence than is normally contained in an avatar, was slain by Tristan, High King of the Ffolk, who wielded the Sword of Cymrjch Hugh. As a result, Bhaal was severely weakened and exiled from the Realms for a time.
在巴尔能重建其大部分神力前,在 艾欧Ao 的意旨下,他于 诸神降世the Fall of the Gods 期间以化身形态重返费伦大陆。在他的杀戮力量被削弱到只能占据凡人身体的程度后,巴尔开始了前所未有的毁灭与杀戮的狂欢。当 班恩大人Lord Bane 寻求挑战 托姆Torm 的力量时,他杀死了诸国度的所有刺客,而这些刺客都是 谋杀之主the Lord of Murder 的忠实信徒,这进一步削弱了巴尔的神力。在 纷争之主the Lord of Strife 被毁灭后,巴尔与 米尔寇Myrkul 缔结了联盟。两位找寻着 命运石板Tablets of Fate 以便重返 外层位面the Outer Planes。在一场横亘了 央土the Heartlands 的追捕行动后,巴尔绑架了 午夜Midnight 并夺取了一块 命运石板,却随即被 希瑞克Cyric 以 神灾剑Godsbane(后来被发现是 马斯克Mask 的化身形态)谋杀。巴尔残留的精华被 蜿蜒河the Winding Water 吸收了,这条河流从 波斯卡桥the Boareskyr Bridge 到 巨魔之爪滩the Trollclaw Ford 随后被毒化了。据信,巴尔的人格碎片被留在了乌黑、恶臭的蜿蜒河河水,就像米尔寇的精华幸存于 角之冠the Crown of Horns 中,而班恩的人格碎片残留于他的男仆 班恩巫妖Baneliches 中。如果巴尔复苏,它将发生在波斯卡桥的阴影之中。
Before Bhaal could rebuild much of his power, he was returned to Faerûn in avatar form by the will of Ao during the Fall of the Gods. Bhaal, reduced to a killing force able only to possess humans, then went on a spree of murder and destruction the like of which had never before been seen. When Lord Bane sought the power needed to challenge Torm, he slew all of the assassins in the Realms who made up the bulk of the Lord of Murder's faithful, further reducing Bhaal's power. After the Lord of Strife's destruction, Bhaal forged an alliance with Myrkul. The two gods sought the Tablets of Fate so that they could return to the Outer Planes. After pursuing her across the Heartlands, Bhaal kidnapped Midnight and seized one Tablet of Fate, but was murdered soon after by Cyric with the sword Godsbane (later revealed to have been the avatar form of Mask). What remained of Bhaal's essence was absorbed by the Winding Water, and that river has subsequently been poisonous from the Boareskyr Bridge downstream to the Trollclaw Ford. It is believed a fragment of Bhaal's personality remains in the jet black, foul-smelling waters of the Winding Water much like Myrkul's essence survives in the Crown of Horns and fragments of Bane's personality survive in his servitor Baneliches. If Bhaal is ever resurrected, it will be in the shadow of Boareskyr Bridge.
巴尔的化身Bhaal's Avatar
(盗贼Thief 32,战士Fighter 27)
巴尔极少以化身形态神临,不过,如果他在城市地区这么做,他通常会使用一种被称为 杀戮者the Slayer 的形态。杀戮者有着凶残的面容,死白的皮肤,还有许多不断渗出黑色腐液的深深伤口——这些腐液会在接触到任何物体前消失。
Bhaal rarely appeared in avatar form, but when he did in urban settings he typically assumed a form known as the Slayer. The Slayer looked like a human male corpse with a feral face, ivory-white skin, and deep lacerations that endlessly wept black ichor that vanished before it struck anything.
在荒郊野外,比如月影岛,巴尔以巨人的形态出现。这个被称为 蹂躏者The Ravager 的形态身高超过30呎,有着修长强健的筋肉,飘逸的胡须,浓密的长发,其双眼燃烧着 焦炎地狱Gehenna 的烈焰,其面容为超自然憎恨的怪相所扭曲。两支7英尺长的扭曲尖角从他的前额伸出。
Bhaal manifested in rural settings, such as the Moonshaes, as a giant of a man. The Ravager, as this form was known, was over 30 feet tall, with long, tough sinews, a flowing beard and mane of hair, eyes that glowed with the flames of Gehenna, a face twisted in a grimace of supernatural hatred, and two 7-foot-long curved homs protruding from his forehead.

特殊攻击/防御Special Att/Def:
杀戮者能够随意 浮空levitate,并凌空而行。他的行动永远是无声的,他的话语轻柔、险恶而阴冷。在战斗中,杀戮者会握持他身上所藏,或者能随意从稀薄空气中咒唤而出的无数把骨匕之一。被这些骨匕伤到的身体部位将会枯萎。如果受伤区域是头部或者躯干,这个部位将会皱缩,受害者将受到额外的3d4点伤害,这一伤害在给出的骨匕伤害之外;如果受伤的是肢体,那么肢体将萎缩残废。
The Slayer could levitate at will and walk on air. His movements were always silent, and his voice soft, menacing, and cold. In battle, the Slayer wielded one of the infinite number of bone daggers hidden on his person or that he could conjure out of thin air. Body parts wounded by these wielded daggers would wither. If the wounded area were a head or torso, it would shrivel and the victim would suffer an additional 3d4 points of damage above the given bone dagger damage; if a limb, it would shrivel and become unusable.
杀戮者也能随意活化至多六把骨匕,使之以16(A)的速度飞行,每一把骨匕每轮都能攻击两次,零级命中值为4,在判定能否造成伤害时视为+2魔法武器,且每一次成功命中都造成1d4+2点寒冷伤害。这些匕首能随着杀戮者的意念消隐无踪。被这些活化匕首之一杀死的人,他们的尸体——如果杀戮者意愿如此——将会变成杀戮者掌控下的僵尸,或者在杀戮者的命令下爆炸,其所有骨骼都将碎裂,与谋杀之主已经活化的骨匕一起,形成一道白骨碎片形成的 剑刃障壁blade barrier。这种骨片 剑刃障壁 会对试图穿越者造成12d12点伤害,其持续时间仅仅取决于杀戮者的意愿——也就是说,这可以成为一种永久性的景象。这种骨片 剑刃障壁 能够充满体积在5立方呎~70立方呎之间的任何空间形状。如果杀戮者创造了永久的骨片剑刃障壁,被杀者的灵魂,作为影响骨头的活化力量的一部分,将留在受影响的区域内。杀戮者也能随意唤起一股 杀戮冲动urge to slay(见下文)或者施展 吸引术attraction(或其反转形式——见下文)。
The Slayer could also animate up to six bone daggers at will at MV Fl 16 (A) to each strike twice a round at THACO 4, attacking as +2 magical weapons for purposes of what they could attack and doing 1d4+2 points of chilling damage per successful strike. These daggers would then wink out of existence as the Slayer willed. The body of anyone slain by one of these animated daggers could—if the Slayer desired—become a zombie under his command or be made to burst apart, all its bones shattering and joining any bone daggers the Lord of Murder had already animated to become a blade barrier of bone shards. Such a bone-shard blade barrier inflicted 12d12 points of damage upon those who tried to pass it and lasted as long as the Slayer willed—in other words, it could be left as a permanent feature. These bone-shard blade barriers filled any volume of space from 5 cubic feet to 70 cubic feet in any shape. If the Slayer created a permanent bone-shard blade barrier, the spirit of the slain being remained in the affected area as part of the animating force affecting the bones. The Slayer could also awaken an urge to slay (see below) or cast attraction (or its reverse—see below) at will.
[译注:此处的 吸引术attraction 并非同名的引力术,而是巴尔教派的特殊法术。]
蹂躏者是个狂暴的毁灭巨兽。他以他巨大的双拳攻击,这一对拳头能轻易碾碎其掌中的岩石。当面对L体形或更大型的敌人时,在其通常的拳击(每轮两套两拳)之外,他能用他恐怖的双角顶撞或者划伤目标,如果攻击检定成功则造成3d10点伤害。只有+4或更佳附魔的武器才能伤到蹂躏者,且它每轮再生5点生命值。
The Ravager was a rampaging titan of destruction. He attacked with his two massive fists that could easily crush stone in their grasp. When facing size L or bigger opponents, he could gore or rake them with his fearsome horns for 3dl0 points of damage on a successful attack in addition to his normal fist attacks (two sets of two punches per round). The Ravager could only be hit by weapons of +4 or greater enchantment and regenerated 5 hit points per round.
不论在哪种形态下,巴尔都能仅仅一碰就无限地活化或者创造任何一种不死生物。他活化的骷髅和僵尸都会绝对服从。他创造的更高级不死生物需要为他执行一项服务,之后就可自行其是。巴尔也能仅凭一触就自动抹消任何低于神性存在的不死生物,将之变成甚至无法再次活化的灰尘。谋杀之主免疫一切种类不死生物做出的一切形式的攻击。
In either form, Bhaal could animate or create any type of undead creature indefinitely by touch. All skeletons or zombies he animated obeyed him absolutely. Greater undead that he created were required to perform one service for him and were then free-willed. Bhaal could also automatically disrupt any undead creature of less than divine status with his touch at will, turning it into dust that not even he could reanimate. The Lord of Murder was immune to all forms of attack by undead creatures of any sort.
其祂显现Other Manifestations
巴尔显现为一对飞行的 匍行之爪crawling claw(即被活化的骷髅爪,巴尔会显现为一对人类夫妇的骨爪),它们可以指向、携带或挥舞物品、或是从指端长出或发射骨匕而不使飞爪本身变小。(这些匕首被以轻弩的形式射出,其零级命中值为4。)另外,谋杀之主有时会以一颗大笑的人类头骨形态神临,以16(A)的移动速度飞行、其后拖曳着泪滴。无论是以哪种形式显现,巴尔都可以说话,或是以其显现90呎内任何位置为中心,制造 半径15呎黑暗术darkness 15' radius。他还可以唤醒任何一位守序邪恶阵营存在身上的 杀戮冲动。如果他如此行事且目标生物在对抗法术豁免检定中失败,该生物就将猛扑过去攻向巴尔指示的任何目标,并以4的零级命中值挥舞手中的任何武器每轮攻击2次,同时无可控制地为它需要夺取的生命而呻吟与哭泣(换句话说,受影响者无法正常开口或发出警告)。巴尔每轮最多可影响以一道 杀戮冲动 影响至多一打(12只)守序邪恶的生物,这些目标需在其化身或显现周遭的90呎范围之内。
Bhaal manifested as a pair of flying crawling claws (animated skeletal hands—in Bhaal's case, always a matching human pair) that could point, carry or wield things, or grow or fire bone daggers that emerged from their finger ends but did not diminish the hands themselves. (The daggers fired as light crossbow quarrels with a THACO of 4.) Alternately, the Lord of Murder sometimes appeared as a laughing human skull that hurtled about at MV Fl 16 (A) trailing teardrops. In either manifestation, Bhaal could speak or cause darkness 15' radius around a focal point anywhere within 90 feet of his manifestation. He could also awaken in any lawful evil-aligned being an urge to slay. If he did so and the being failed a saving throw vs.spell, the being would rush to attack whatever target Bhaal directed it to, striking twice per round with whatever weapon came to hand at THACO 4 and moaning and sobbing uncontrollably (in other words, normal speech or warnings were impossible) with its need to take life. Bhaal could affect up to a dozen lawful evil creatures per round with an urge to slay if that many were within 90 feet of his avatar or manifestation.
谋杀之主经常通过各种暴力而致命的怪物行动,包括所有种类的骷髅不死生物(从 死亡飞吻deathfang 到 dread)和多种触手类怪物(从 darktentacle 到 philosopher grell)。据说正是巴尔创造了 harrla of hate 让它们潜行于诸国度,并在谋杀之主之手的引导下选择它们的受害者。
The Lord of Murder often acted through a variety of violent, deadly monsters, including skeletal undead of all sorts, from deathfangs to dread, and many species of tentacled monsters, from darktentacles to philosopher grell. It is said that harrla of hate were created by Bhaal to stalk the Realms and that the hand of the Lord of Murder guided their choice of victims.

All clerics and specialty priests of Bhaal received religion (Faerûnian) as a bonus nonweapon proficiency.
谋杀之主的祭司们要么被称作 巴尔教徒Bhaalists,要么被称为 巴尔人Bhaalyn(后一称谓在 巨龙海岸Dragonreach 以东流行,前者则在巨龙海岸以西、直抵 剑湾Sword Coast 最受欢迎),他们始终是一套由严格的地方等级制度组成的无序网络。城市地区的巴尔教徒/巴尔人往往是牧师,而在偏远地区(譬如 月海Moonshaes)则往往是名为 死亡潜行者deathstalkers 的专属祭司。
Priests of the Lord of Murder were known as either Bhaalists or Bhaalyn (the latter term being most favored east of the Dragonreach, the former westward to the Sword Coast) and were always a disorganized web of strictly local hierarchies. Bhaalists/Bhaatyn tended to be clerics in the urban areas of the Realms, while in remote areas (such as the Moonshaes), they tended to be specialty priests known as deathstalkers.
巴尔在动荡之年期间(恰如其分地)被希瑞克谋杀了,这位凡人之后成为了他的继承者。最重要的是,他的信仰已经被 黑日the Dark Sun 接管,巴尔的神殿也几乎全部皈依了 谎言王子the Prince of Lies 信仰。城市地区的巴尔追随者几乎普遍转向信仰希瑞克,以至于已在采用这位新神的法衣、仪式、宗教特殊法术和他授予专属神职人员的能力。他们将自己崇拜的神力称为 希瑞克Cyric。不过多年来,塞尔Thay 的巴尔人在提及他时则呼之为 希瑞克-巴尔Cyric-Bhaal,以此将他与前 班恩教徒Banites 所崇敬的希瑞克次要面相区分开来——这些所信仰神祇已经被彻底摧毁的班恩教徒也宣称希瑞克是他们的神明。巴尔-希瑞克教徒Bhaal-Cyricists 与其它希瑞克信徒的派系关系高度紧张,但在 班恩之死the Banedeath(1361 DR)之后几年里,希瑞克对皈依教徒进行大清洗期间实施了教法,现在所有前巴尔教徒和巴尔人都(不情愿地)承认了他们的神只是希瑞克。
Bhaal was (fittingly) murdered during the Time of Troubles by Cyric, the mortal who would become his successor. In the main, his faith has been taken over by the Dark Sun, and Bhaal's temples have been almost totally converted to the worship of the Prince of Lies. The followers of Bhaal in urban areas have almost universally switched to worshiping Cyric to the extent of adopting the new deity's vestments, ceremonies, religion-specific spells, and the abilities he grants his specialist clergy members. They refer to the power they venerate as Cyric. For some years the former Bhaalyn of Thay referred to him as Cyric-Bhaal to differentiate him from the lesser aspects of Cyric worshiped by former Banites, whose deity was utterly destroyed and who they felt had erroneously declared Cyric to be their deity as well. Relationships between the Bhaal-Cyricists and the factions of the other believers of Cyric were heavily strained, but order was imposed during Cyric's purges among his converted faithful during the years following the year of the Banedeath (1361 DR) and now all former Bhaalists and Bhaalyn (uncomfortably) acknowledge their deity to be simply Cyric.
在诸神降世前,巴尔城乡祭司之间的关系平等,但又冷淡而疏远。两派之间的分歧随着动荡之年谋杀之主的灭亡而扩大。巴尔农村追随者多年来一直保持着他们的巴尔信仰,这指出了他们仍在得授他们所习惯法术的事实。然而,在城乡教派的分裂于 1367 DR 达到巅峰、并且据报道敌对派系之间发生了伏击,之后不久,乡村巴尔人祭司们停止以巴尔名讳得授法术,并且大多皈依了 希瑞克教Cyricism 或 希维姆教Xvimism。在偏远的农村地区,仍然存在着一些由一位年老祭司主持的孤立、渺小、而又纯粹的巴尔信仰。有许多前信徒现在也崇敬兽人和其祂非人类神系。
Prior to the Fall of the Gods, relations between the city-bred and country versions of Bhaal's priesthood were fair, but cool and distant. The differences between the two factions increased with the demise of the Lord of Murder during the Time of Troubles. The rural followers of Bhaal retained their belief in Bhaal for years, pointing to the fact that they still received their accustomed magical spells. However, shortly after the schism between urban and rural Bhaalists reached its height in 1367 DR and ambushes were reported between rival factions, rural Bhaalyn priests ceased receiving spells in Bhaal's name, and most have now converted to Cyricism or Xvimism. What isolated and minute pockets of pure Bhaal worship still exist are usually in remote rural areas, presided over by an ancient priest. Many of these former worshipers are now venerating the orcish and other nonhuman pantheons as well.
巴尔信仰的地区或派系领导人,无论其等级高低,总是被称为 高阶大主教High Primate/高阶女大主教High Primistress(谢天谢地,这种诡异的女性格式头衔似乎是该信仰独有的),而神殿或要塞的首领则为 大主教Primate/女大主教Primistress。(巴尔的要塞通常是庇护着众多刺客的城堡,它们派遣代理人到附近的城镇或城市市场中招徕顾客,来雇佣城堡中人施行杀戮。)大主教/女大主教的助手(在许多其祂信仰中被称为“副修道院长priors”)的头衔为 第一杀手First Murder,第一杀手可以调用 兜帽死神the Cowled Deaths(在宗教家族或社群中任职的九位最资深神职人员)。在这些高层之下是普通神职人员,他们被统称为 死亡贩子Deathdealers,并(无论其等级或位阶)具有 杀戮之手Slaying Hand 这一共享头衔。
The leader of an area or faction of Bhaal-worship, regardless of level, was always known as the High Primate/High Primistress (this strange female form of the title thankfully seems unique to this faith), and the head of a temple or fortress was its Primate/Primistress. (Often fortresses of Bhaal were citadels that sheltered many assassins and sent forth agents to nearby towns or city marketplaces to solicit patrons to hire the occupants of the citadel to perform killings.) The assistants of a Primate or Primistress (known in many other faiths as "priors") held the title First Murder, and the First Murder could call upon the Cowled Deaths (nine most senior clergy members who held offices in the religious household or community). Underneath these eminences were the common clergy members, collectively known as Deathdealers and bearing the shared title (regardless of level or rank) of Slaying Hand.
献给谋杀之主的城区神殿通常是些位于城市街道之下黑暗的斯巴达式地牢,偶尔会有一副描绘暴力死亡的马赛克拼图或雕塑为特色。其中大部分有几间藏有被谋杀受害人尸体身上取下信物的信物室,和摆满了那些不适合被留在案发现场的过去被害人尸体的大型墓室。(这些墓室的“居民”通常可不会在那里静静地安息。)乡村圣地通常是位于荒山山头的原始神龛,以沾满血迹的祭坛为主。在祭坛周围,通常环绕着一圈雕刻着泪滴形头骨的石环。
Urban temples dedicated to the Lord of Murder were typically dark, spartan dungeons located beneath a city's streets featuring an occasional mosaic or sculpture depicting a violent death. Most contained several chambers of tokens taken from the bodies of murder victims and large crypts filled with the corpses of past victims who could not be left where they fell. (The inhabitants of such crypts were often restless.) Rural holy sites were usually primitive shrines located on barren hilltops and dominated by blood-stained sacrificial altars. Typically a ring of stones carved to resemble teardrop-shaped skulls is inlaid in the ground around the altar.
教义Dogma:
巴尔教徒(以他们病态而扭曲的方式)相信,每一次谋杀都会让圣巴尔更为强壮。因此,对他们而言,谋杀既是一种消遣,也是一种职责。巴尔教徒被要求在黑夜的心脏最黑暗的时候,每旬制造一场死亡。如果因监禁或其它限制条件使这成为了不可能,他们就必须为每一次错过的死亡而谋杀两次。根据谋杀之主的教义,巴尔教徒必须努力确保受害人在咽气前,知道是谁杀害了他们,并且他们的死亡是以巴尔的名义发生的。
Bhaalists believed (in their sick and twisted way) that every murder committed strengthened holy Bhaal. As a result, they viewed murder as both a pastime and a duty. Bhaalists were required to deal death once in every tenday during the darkest period at the heart of the night. If imprisonment or other constraining circumstances made this impossible, they had to murder twice for each death missed. In accordance with the Lord of Murder's teachings, Bhaalists strove to ensure that before they died, murder victims knew who was killing them and that their death was in the name of Bhaal.
巴尔的初修士们被要求如下:“让所有人都畏惧巴尔。让你的杀戮异常优雅,又或者异常恐怖,又或是看上去非常地容易,以至于让那些看到的人感到敬畏与恐慌。告诉人们,向教会供奉黄金可以让谋杀之主今日忽略他们。”
Novices of Bhaal were charged as follows: "Make all folk fear Bhaal. Let your killings be especially elegant, or grisly, or seem easy so that those observing them are awed or terrified. Tell folk that gold proffered to the church can make the Lord of Murder overlook them for today."
日常活动Day-to-Day Activities:
虽然巴尔也鼓励追求个人餐服与爱好,但总的来说,巴尔教徒在夜间进行他们的谋杀,在白天为谋杀做准备(采购或保管武器,前往适当的地点,向巴尔祈祷成功,在敬畏的保护下睡觉以便能在黑暗中保持完全的清醒,进食、训练、为法术祈祷等等)。许多人充当着刺客、赏金猎人、雇佣兵、或是加入有组织的兄弟会从事此类事业。
While Bhaal also encouraged the pursuit of personal wealth and hobbies, in the main, Bhaalists spent their nights performing murders and their days preparing for murder (procuring or caring for weapons, journeying to the appropriare site, praying to Bhaal for success, sleeping under guard so as to be fully awake for the hours of darkness, eating, training, praying for spells, and the like). Many served as assassins, bounty hunters, and mercenaries or in organized brotherhoods of men and women in such professions.
巴尔的祭司们嗜杀成性、但会尽量避免不加选择地滥杀。他们在此事花费了大量时间和思考,不仅为了打磨他们的黑暗行动的计划,也为了分析杀死这个或那个人将带来的影响。教会当然会去尝试消灭所有对手和反对者,但也需要通过恐吓民众,让他们把钱币和贵重物品供奉到巴尔教徒面前,以及小心翼翼地让那些在经济与社会上拥有重要地位的个人不受伤害地生活,来壮大和充实自身。高阶大主教们花费了大量时间来计划如何正确地操纵附近统治者、居民和组织,使其的行为和反应符合巴尔人的期望。
Priests of Bhaal enjoyed killing for its own sake but tried not to murder indiscriminately. Much time and thought went into the planning of not just the dark deeds, but the implications of killing this or that individual. The church tried to eliminate all rivals and those who stood against it, to be sure, but also strove to enrich itself by frightening common folk into placing offerings of coinage and valuables before Bhaalists and by taking care to let economically and socially important individuals live unharmed. High Primates spent much of their time planning the proper strategies of manipulating nearby rulers, inhabitants, and organizations into the deeds and behavior that the Bhaalyn desired.

理所当然的,巴尔最重要的仪式便是杀戮行动,在此过程中祭司将吟诵:“巴尔等待着你,巴尔拥抱着你,没有人能逃脱巴尔的怀抱”(如有必要,重复几遍)。在每次谋杀之后,巴尔的祭司将用受害者的鲜血在尸体旁边绘制巴尔的徽记,并将血液抹在自己受伤,如果仪式完成的够好,鲜血将立即从那里消失。
The main ritual to Bhaal is, of course, an act of slaying, during which the priest intoned: "Bhaal awaits thee, Bhaal embraces thee, none escape Bhaal" (if necessary, repeatedly). After each murder, a priest of Bhaal drew Bhaal's symbol beside the corpse in the blood of the victim and smeared the blood on his or her own hands, from where it promptly vanished if the ceremony was done fitly.
祭司们也会在就寝时(在神殿中,这是在名为 白日告别Day's Farewell 的正式仪式中群体进行的)和出发杀戮时,向巴尔祈祷。此外,祭司位阶的每次提高都将以一场庄严的私人仪式为标志,期间,擢升的祭司将离开神殿,直至他除了赤手空拳别无所依地杀死另一位祭司后,才能得返。这场杀戮事件将被私下告知一位资深祭司,如果巴尔降下的兆示被认为是赞许,那么此君的新位阶将在教会举行的仪式上(神殿的所有神职人员都将与会,仪式期间将举行对巴尔的活牲)被公布。据说,资深祭司们拥有一种不可思议的能力,能够找出一场私人仪式中的谎言,并惩处那些提交了虚假报告的人。
Priests also prayed to Bhaal upon retiring for slumber (in a temple, this was done en masse, in a formal ceremony known as Day's Farewell) and whenever they set out to slay. Moreover, every increase in priestly rank was marked by a solemn private ritual in which the ascending priest went out from the temple to return only after slaying another with nothing save his or her bare hands. The events of the killing were related privately to a senior priest, and if the signs were deemed favorable, the new rank was conveyed in a church ritual held in full ceremonial regalia by all temple clergy membe during which a living sacrifice to Bhaal was made. Senior priests were said have an uncanny ability to ferret out lies about this private ritual and be harsh in their punishment of those bearing false report.
巴尔的非专业(非祭司)信徒在出发旅行、或是迈入已知危险时,会向巴尔祈祷,期望能赢得“他的忽略”而获得有限的安全。他们在给巴尔教徒赠金时也会祈祷(以确保谋杀之主能接受他们的礼物),每当附近或相关人等身上发生了暴力死亡时,他们也会祈祷。
Lay worshipers of Bhaal (but not priests) were to pray to Bhaal for the limited safety of "his overlook" when setting forth on journeys or into known danger. They were also to pray when giving gold to Bhaalists (to ensure that the Lord of Murder accepted their gift) and whenever a violent death occurred nearby or to someone related to them.
巴尔教会唯一的历法仪式发生在 月宴节the Feast of the Moon,巴尔教徒将在此时纪念该信仰的死者,并通过复述这些事迹的故事来庆祝那些特别重要或令人印象深刻的杀戮。经常被讲述的最“精彩”血腥故事包括著名的祭司-巫师 “染血者”乌瑟代尔Uthaedeol the Blood-drenched 的一项事迹。这便是他如何杀死了已经被警告并守卫重重的 泰瑟尔王国Tethyr 萨米特国王King Samyte。
The only calendar ritual of the church of Bhaal occurred on the Feast of the Moon, when the dead of the faith were remembered and Bhaalists celebrated especially important or impressive slayings by retelling stories of these deeds. One of the most "splendid" tales of gore told often is of one of the exploits of the famous priest-mage Uthaedeol the Blood-drenched. It is of his killing of the warned and guarded King Samyte of Tethyr.
乌瑟代尔通过传送出现在了半空中一位骑乘飞马的宫廷守卫面前,然后杀死了这位守卫,并骑着守卫的坐骑俯冲坠下强制摔死了这匹飞马,同时借此冲破了天窗进入了王座室。在国王的弓箭手们向飞马射击时,乌瑟代尔跳离了飞马的鞍座,并驾驭着准备好的飞行魔法骤降插入了国王的守护黑龙的一只眼睛。他以自己至今尚未解密的 毁灭之拳destroying fist 法术(已知是一种小范围、局部的 解离disintegrate 效果)击杀了这只大蜥蜴,并骑着它无意识的垂死吐息穿越了王座室,由他的附魔盔甲保护下,沿着它吐息的酸液滑行。
Uthaedeol teleported to appear in midair in front of a pegasus-riding palace guard, slew the man, and rode his steed forcibly down to its death, smashing through a skylight into the throne room. Uthaedeol leapt clear of the pegasus as the king's archers peppered it with shafts, and rode a prepared flight magic down to plunge into one eye of the king's guardian black dragon. He slew the great drake with his own still-secret destroying fist spell (known to be a small, localized disintegrate effect) and rode its involuntary dying breath across the throne room, gliding along the stream of acid it breathed protected by his enchanted armor.
随着盔甲变得漆黑、粉碎、消失,乌瑟代尔施展了一道法术将房间中的所有箭——甚至是那些还没有被射出的箭矢——都成堆抛到了空中蜂拥飞行。他随后一跃而起用他的单匕与萨米特的宽剑一对一决斗。据说乌瑟代尔杀死了每位攻击他的卫兵,并割伤了这位可怜君王的数百处皮肤;他随后施展了一道法术,迫使这位国王陷入了一场死亡之舞,以至于最终因失血过多而倒地死亡。
As the armor blackened, crumbled, and fell away, Uthaedeol cast a spell that flung all arrows in the room, even those not yet fired, into swarming flight. He then sprang to meet the king in single combat with his lone dagger against Samyte's broad sword. It is recorded that Uthaedeol slew every guard who came against him as he slashed the unfortunate monarch's skin in hundreds of places; he then cast a spell that forced the king into a veritable dance of death so that he fell lifeless from exsanguination.
这位祭司-巫师随后施展了两道陷阱法术,并传送离开。第一道陷阱是 流星爆meteor swarm,将在王座室中有任何法术被施展时激活。它杀死了四位著名的宫廷法师。第二道则是 剑刃障壁blade barrier,被设置在任何与国王有血缘关系之人进入时触发。它杀死了国王两位最年长的儿子。
The priest-mage then cast two entrapping spells and teleported away. The first trap was a meteor swarm activated whenever any spell was next cast in the throne room. It slew four court wizards of note. The second was a blade barrier set to erupt into being when someone who was blood kin to the king next entered the room. It slew the king's two eldest sons.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
迅死之塔The Tower of Swift Death 正位于 塞尔Thay 提万特罗司省Tyraturos 之外,在那里,大主教乌姆兰特·苏尔基德Primate Oumrant Tsulkide 在 红袍法师the Red Wizards 的祝福(与财政支持)下领导着一座满是训练有素的杀手的堡垒,在它于 酒杯之年Year of the Tankard(1370 DR)最终正式皈依希瑞克信仰前,它是诸国度中仅存的几座专门供奉巴尔的神殿之一。(在那之前,希瑞克以巴尔的名义提供祭司的法术。)红袍法师们经常为了塞尔的伟大荣耀(噢,对了,还有巴尔——以及希瑞克)而雇佣在塔内受训之人。
The Tower of Swift Death just outside Tyraturos in Thay, where Primate Oumrant Tsulkide leads a fortress full of trained killers with the blessing (and financial support) of the Red Wizards, was one of the few remaining temples in the Realms solely dedicated to Bhaal until the Year of the Tankard (1370 DR), when it finally formally switched to the worship of Cyric. (Before then, Cyric supplied the priests' spells in Bhaal's name.) The Red Wizards often employ those trained in the Tower on missions for the great glory of Thay (and, oh yes, of Bhaal—er, Cyric).
从属组织Affiliated Orders:
巴尔的神职成员赞助了整个诸国度的无数刺客和盗贼兄弟会。其中最为突出的便是 安姆Amn 的 影贼Shadow Thieves 和 方铅山脉the Galena Mountains 的 刺客堡the Citadel of Assassins(虽然巴尔已经不在,但两者依然存在)。虽然诸国度真正的刺客都全被毁灭了,巴尔也被谋杀,但以他的名义建立的行会延续了他的遗志,将谋杀与死亡作为业余爱好(如果不是天职的话)。这些组织由做着刺客工作的邪恶战士、法师、祭司和游荡者组成,仍然在向谋杀之主以及他的继任者——希瑞克——致敬。巴尔的所有专属祭司都属于一支名为 激战兄弟会the Brethren of the Keen Strike 的社团。
Bhaal's clergy members sponsored countless brotherhoods of assassins and thieves throughout the Realms. Prominent among them were the Shadow Thieves of Amn and the Citadel of Assassins in the Galena Mountains (both of which still exist, though Bhaal does not). Although the true assassins of the Realms have all been destroyed and Bhaal murdered, guilds established in his name continue his legacy of murder and death as an avocation if not a vocation. These orders still pay ritual homage to the Lord of Murder as well as his successor, Cyric, and are comprised of evil fighters, wizards, priests, and rogues who work as assassins. All specialty priests of Bhaal belonged to a society known as the Brethren of the Keen Strike.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
无论等级与性别,所有巴尔人都穿着全套祭司长袍与深紫色或面上戴着黑纱,使兜帽头巾,兜帽上有着大小、形状与位置随意的紫色条纹。兜帽与衣服的内衬为深黑色,使兜帽内在旁人看来空无一物。高阶祭司们有时在灯光不好的仪式上,还会在衣服上加一条猩红色的腰带以便辨认。巴尔人还会在腰带上佩戴弯刃仪式匕首(除了形状上的不同,其余均视同普通匕首),但只有高阶大主教、大主教或激战兄弟会的成员才能在战斗或谋杀中使用它们;所有其他巴尔教徒只能在仪式中使用它们。
Regardless of rank or gender, all Bhaalyn wore full ceremonial robes and cowls of deep purple or of black with violet streaks of random size, shape, and placement. The interior linings of the cowl and garments were always deep black, and a black veil was worn over the face to make the cowl seem empty to an observer. High-ranking priests sometimes added a scarlet sash to this costume for easy recognition when ill-lit rituals were taking place. Curve-bladed ceremonial daggers (treat them as normal daggers except for their shape) were worn at the belt, but only High Primates, Primates, or members of the Brethren of the Keen Strike employed them in combat or slayings; all other Bhaalists used them only in rituals.
冒险装束Adventuring Garb:
在进行冒险或警卫活动时,巴尔人会穿着他们所能获得或被允许穿戴的最好类型的全副防具。他们经常以黑色披肩和黑色紧身裤来与可用盔甲搭配。

❖当死亡潜行者以任何物理攻击命中一只中型或更小生物时,有0.5%/每级(向上取整)的概率将带有毁灭性的目的与效果。受害者将立即降到0生命值(无论是否使用-10生命值死亡的选用规则),或击打将造成的正常伤害(包括所有适用的奖励与惩罚),取生命值其低者。
❖ There is a 1/2% chance per level (round up) that any physical blow inflicted with a ceremonial dagger by a deathstalker on a man-sized or smaller creature is devastatingly potent in aim and effect (fatal or nearly fatal). The victim is immediately reduced to 0 hit points (whether or not the optional -10 hp death rule is in use) or the total indicated by the normal damage of the blow including all applicable bonuses and penalties, whichever is lower.
❖在第7级,每月1次,死亡潜行者可施展 死亡一指finger of death(如同7级法师法术)。
❖ At 7th level, deathstaikers may cast finger of death (as the 7th-level wizard spell) once per month.
❖在第10级,死亡潜行者可以使用 位面迁跃plane skipping。位面迁跃涉及到让死亡潜行者前往 焦炎地狱Gehenna 的巴尔区域,在那个位面移动,然后返回他所期望的 主物质位面Prime Material Plane 位置。通常来说,在焦炎地狱每移动10呎,等效于在主物质位面移动1哩。方向在焦炎地狱并不重要,以为是由巴尔的意志和旅者的意图决定他将在哪里出来。位面迁跃需要花费1回合来进入焦炎地狱,然后花费1回合从焦炎地狱返回,外加中间在焦炎地狱的旅行时间。这种旅行形式在正常情况下100%可靠,但它不能穿透魔法盾牌、被善良力量圣化的区域、反魔法区域、以及不能从外层位面到达的区域。位面迁跃中的死亡潜行者在焦炎地狱并未得到保护,以为巴尔认为那些有能力来到他家园的人应当有能力保护好自己。在到达10级后,每2个经验值等级死亡潜行者还能多带一个人。
❖ At 10th level, deathstaikers may engage in plane skipping. Plane skipping involves the deathstalker traveling to Bhaal's area of Gehenna, moving through that plane, and then traveling back into the Prime Material Plane at his or her destination. In general, each 10 feet moved through Gehenna equals one mile of distance on the Prime Material Plane. Direction does not matter in Gehenna, since the will of Bhaal and the intention of the traveler determine where she or he comes out. The plane skip takes a turn to prepare for the movement into Gehenna and another turn to return plus travel time while in Gehenna. This form of travel is 100% reliable under normal circumstances, but it cannot pierce magical shields, areas sanctified to the forces of good, anti-magical areas, or areas that cannot be reached from the Outer Planes. Plane-skipping deathstaikers are not protected while in Gehenna, since Bhaal considers those capable of traveling to his homeland capable of protecting themselves. Deathstaikers may take another person with them for every two levels of experience over 10th they possess.
❖在第11级,死亡潜行者可以召唤一只 气灵侍者aerial servant(如同6级祭司法术 气灵侍者aerial servant)。这位仆从将为潜行者而战(这与那道法术的限制相反),并且可以充当魔法刺客。死亡潜行者每月(30天)只能召唤一只气灵侍者,并且同时只能控制一只。
❖ At 11th level, deathstaikers may summon an aerial servant (as per the 6th-level priest spell aerial servant). This servant will fight for the deathstalker (contrary to normal restrictions on the spell) and can act as a magical assassin. Only one aerial servant may be summoned per month (30 days), and only one may be controlled at a time.

豁免检定Saving Throw:通过即无效Neg.
巴尔的祭司们因他们周围弥漫的死亡气息而大量使用这道法术。如果目标在对抗法术的豁免中失败,吸引术Attraction 将使目标对施法者的任何负面情绪替换为相反的正面情绪。憎恶将变为吸引、仇恨将变为爱,等等等等。这道法术也将在法术持续时间内暂时提高施法者对目标的魅力值1d4+2点,使目标对施法者的反应和忠诚度更有可能是积极而有益的。
This spell is much used by priests of Bhaal because of their ambient air of death. Attraction replaces any negative emotions the target has toward the spellcaster with opposite positive emotions if the target being fails a saving throw vs. spell. Repulsion becomes attraction, hatred becomes love, etc. The spell also temporarily raises the caster's Charisma by 1d4+2 points in respect to the target being for the spell's duration, making the target's reactions to and loyalty to the caster much more likely to be positive and helpful.
这道法术的逆向版本 鄙弃术disdain 将用相反的负面情绪取代目标生物对被点名角色的所有正面情绪(如果施法者真的想被某个人鄙视,可以选择点名自己)。这道法术也将在法术持续时间内暂时降低被点名生物对目标的魅力值1d4+2点,使目标对施法者的反应和忠诚度更有可能是消极而敌对的。
The reverse of this spell, disdain, replaces all positive feelings the target being has toward a named being (which can be the caster if she or he really wants to be despised by someone) with opposite negative emotions. It also temporarily lowers the named being's Charisma by 1d4+2 points in respect to the target being for the spell's duration, making the target's reactions to and loyalty to the named being much more likely to be negative and hostile.
无论是以哪种形式施展,如果要扭转的情绪非常强烈,那么对抗此法术的豁免检定将得到+1到+5的调整值(由DM裁决)。因此,将这道法术作为一位酒吧女招待约会(反正她有取悦顾客的动机)的计策,比用来扭转自己敌人的情感有用的多。
In either form, the saving throw against this spell has a modifier of +1 through +5 (as adjudicated by the DM) if the emotions to be changed are extremely intense. As such, it is much more useful as a ploy to make a date with a barmaid (who is motivated to please customers anyway) than it is to convert the feelings of one's enemies.

这道法术能加速任何物品的老化。每过1小时,物品就将衰变1天。同样,对物品的任何磨损与变形都将增强20倍。经过一段适当的时间,大多数物品都将破损、生锈或腐蚀、腐烂成粉末、或是变得无用。一道成功的 驱散魔法dispel magic 将停止加速腐朽的过程,并使物品的老化回复到正常速度;然而,已经生效的老化是永久性的。
This spell accelerates the aging of any item. It has noertectoti living matter. For every hour that passes, the object decays a day. Equally, any abrasion or strain to the article is increased twenty-fold. After an appropriate amount of time has passed, most objects break, rust or corrode, decay into powder, or otherwise become useless. A successful dispel magic halts the accelerated decay process and return's an item's aging to normal rates; aging that has already taken effect is permanent, however.
普通物品不会得到对抗此法术效果的豁免检定。魔法物品则得到一次对抗此法术豁免检定;它们必须通过一次-2惩罚的对抗电击豁免检定,否则将受到这道法术的影响。神器和圣物不受这道法术的影响。要想影响某人携带或佩戴的物品,施法祭司必须用手进行一次成功的攻击骰。
Normal items do not receive a saving throw against this spell's effects. Magical items receive a saving throw against the spell; they must make a successful item saving throw vs. lightning at a -2 penalty or be affected by the spell. Artifacts and relics are unaffected by this spell. To affect an item being carried or worn by someone, the casting priest must make a successful attack roll with his or her hand.

巴尔BHAAL
巴尔Bhaal,谋杀之神god of murder 中立邪恶NE 死亡Death 血滴环绕的颅骨Skull surrounded by ring of bloody droplets
谋杀之主The Lord of Murder
费伦人通常不向巴尔祈祷。他被认为是一个极度邪恶和充满破坏欲的神。他渴望死亡——这意味着不择手段地杀戮。
The folk of Faerûn don't normally pray to or acknowledge Bhaal. He is seen as a deeply evil and destructive deity who hungers for death —— meaning the death of any sentient beings through unlawful means.
当一个人想要进行谋杀时,会向巴尔祈祷。他可能有充足理由,例如无法通过合法的手段修正不公。但更常见的是,祈祷者出于嫉妒、贪婪或愤怒而想杀人。除刺客和杀人成瘾者外,很少有人信奉巴尔。而他的牧师通常两者都能胜任。
Some people pray to Bhaal when they want to commit murder. A person might have good reason to resort to murder, such as when one is unable to redress some injustice through lawful means. But it's far more common for prayers to Bhaal to be uttered by those who seek to kill someone out of jealousy, greed, or wrath. It's rare for anyone but assassins or compulsive killers to take Bhaal as a patron, and clerics who revere Bhaal often qualify on both counts.
过去曾多次出现巴尔的谋杀教团,每次都是由一位自封为巴尔的神授牧师领导。但有组织地崇拜谋杀之主,和他的神殿都很罕见。那些为巴尔竖立神殿的人都是因为成功的谋杀而感谢他。这样的神殿的典型特征是,被血滴包围的头骨或者断头。(通常都来自被谋杀的受害者)
Murder cults of Bhaal have arisen in the past, each led by a charismatic, self-styled priest of Bhaal, but organized worship of the Lord of Murder is extremely un- common. Temples and shrines are similarly rare. Those who erect a shrine to Bhaal usually do so to thank him for a successful murder. Such shrines typically feature a skull or a severed head surrounded by drops of blood (often both from the murdered victim).
