群星中的宗教Religion in the Stars
牧師和專屬祭司們往往會因恐懼失去施法能力而擔心進入 荒宇wildspace。其實對這點無需再有疑問。當然,當牧師或是祭司進入太空時,他們神明的神力的確會發生一些改變,但多數時候,這些改變還沒到讓角色感到沮喪的地步。
Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.
有些改變是積極的,但偶爾,神力可能會有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司們進入 燃素海the phlogiston、與其神明失去一切接觸的時候。在進入到晶壁系中時,某一角色是否會與他的神明完全而徹底的分離?接下來的章節將詳述:魔法船牧師與專屬祭司在荒宇中時,諸神與他們的關係、以及諸神本身。
Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

在晶壁系中時,淑妮Sune 的祭司可正常施法和獲得法術。當期進入另一個晶壁系時,他將被授予最高4級的法術——除非那裏有一位相同神職的神明,祂將代替淑妮授予完整的法術。
While inside the crystal sphere, the priests of Sune are able to cast and receive spells normally. When a priest enters another crystal sphere, he is granted spells of 4th level and lower, unless there is a god with the same portfolio there, who grants a full arsenal of spells in Sune's place.

據說,「火發Firehair」淑妮Sune(讀作「SUE-nee」)是諸神力中的至美者。當她神臨時,她將表現為 諸國度the Realms 中最美的女性,有着彎卷披散、綻放光芒的紅髮,以及那不可思議的魅力。淑妮教派Sunite 信仰在大都市裏和貴族之中頗受歡迎。那些有文學或藝術傾向的人,一級那些墜入愛河或是在尋找人身伴侶者,常常會崇敬 火發女士Lady Firehair。
Sune (SUE-nee) Firehair is said to be the fairest of the powers. When she is represented, she is shown as the most beautiful woman in the Realms, with sweeping, radiant, red hair and incredible charms. The Sunite faith is a popular one in large metropolitan areas and among the nobility. Those of a literary or artistic bent, as well as people falling in love or looking for lifemates, often venerate the Lady Firehair.
據說,淑妮本身是位仁慈而有時會異想天開之人,在熾熱的激情與輕浮的挑逗之間來回變幻。在諸國度的神話中,她與許多泛費倫神力有着浪漫的聯繫,不過她從未與 狂怒諸神the gods of fury、塔洛娜Talona、或是 坦帕斯Tempus 擦出愛的火花,因為祂們所預設的職責便是毀滅眾多的美麗事物(無論那是否擁有生命)。目前,據傳她被 托姆Torm 在 動盪之年Time of Troubles 期間的高貴之行打動了心扉。
Sune herself is said to be benevolent and sometimes whimsical, alternating between deep passions and shallow flirtations. She has been romantically linked with many of the Faerûnian powers in the myths of the Realms, although she has never borne any love at all for the gods of fury, Talona, or Tempus, since their functions posit the destruction of many beautiful things, both living and inanimate. Currently, she is rumored to have been rather smitten by the noble actions of Torm at Tantras during the Time of Troubles.
據說,淑妮與精靈女神 哈娜莉·瑟拉妮爾Hanali Celanil 分享着 永金池Evergold(一座神聖的池塘)的湖水,兩位神明之間,在人類與精靈之美的先天優勢哪一方更勝一籌上,存在着友好但激烈的競爭。淑妮痛恨並積極地對抗使任何鮮活的美麗污損的勢力或神祇。
Sune is said to share the waters of the Evergold, a sacred pool, with the elven goddess Hanali Celanil, and a friendly but intense rivalry exists between the two over the innate superiority of elven versus human beauty. Sune abhors and actively opposes any force or deity that causes the marring of living beauty.
淑妮的化身Sune's Avatar
(巫師Mage 35,牧師Cleric 30)
淑妮極少對凡人神臨。當她這樣做時,會是一位有着無暇之美的人類女性,除了一件透明的絲質睡袍和那長得不可思議、彎卷披散的紅髮(通常呈現為火焰形狀)外,不着寸縷。雖然她的發色總是為紅色,但她的外觀會隨時間變化。有時她有着金色的肌膚與杏仁狀的雙眸,而另一會膚色又變成了紅褐色、瞳色變成了最深的琥珀色或蜜色,有時則為淡紅膚色、顴骨突出,其它時候又有着乳白色的肌膚、天藍或林綠的眼睛。她能從任何學派或領域提取她的法術。她對任何生物施展的所有 魅惑 類型魔法、魅惑領域法術、以及影響情緒、着迷、注目、命令、說服或是有着類似於 魅惑人類charm person 效果的附魔/魅惑法術,有着4倍的力量,並在豁免檢定上有-4懲罰(如果已有的懲罰並非更高,並且允許豁免檢定)。
Sune appears rarely to mortals. When she is seen, it is as a human female of unearthly beauty clad only in a diaphanous silken gown and her impossibly long, sweeping red hair, which often assumes the appearance of flames. While she always has red hair, her appearance changes from time to time. Sometimes her skin is golden and her eyes almond-shaped, at others she has skin of mahogany and eyes the color of darkest amber or honey, at still others she has reddish skin and prominent cheekbones, and at yet others her skin is ivory white and her eyes a sky blue or forest green. She can draw her spells from any school or sphere. All charm -type magic, charm sphere spells, and enchantment/charm spells that affect emotions, beguile, enthrall, command, persuade, or have similar effects to a charm person to any being cast by her are at quadruple strength and a -4 penalty to saving throws (provided the penalty is not already greater and saving throws are allowed).

特殊攻擊/防禦Special Att/Def:
若淑妮想,那麼目睹其裸體之人將被殺(-4對抗即死魔法豁免,否則死亡)。淑妮能導致位於其90英尺內、能看見她的生物陷入 狂喜rapture(如下文提及的,但有着雙倍的持續時間,並且除非潛在的被麻痹受害者在-6懲罰的對抗癱瘓豁免檢定中成功,否則她選定的目標將會被麻痹)。一旦看見了她,哪怕只是瞥了一眼,就幾乎不可能移開目光。沒有凡人能抵擋住如此絕艷的美貌。沒有動物或巨型動物之類的東西會傷害甚至只是試圖傷害淑妮。一旦看見了她,任何物種的男性生物都無法升起傷害她的念頭,遑論對她拔刀相向;這完全是不可能的。
The sight of Sune's unclad form can slay if she so desires (saving throw vs. death magic at -4 or die). Sune can cause rapture in all beings within 90 feet of her who are able to see her (as the rapture below, only of double duration and having stun effects only on all those she wants it to unless such potentially stunned victims make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation at -6). It is almost impossible not to look at Sune once even a glimpse of her is caught. No mortal can resist getting a good look at such supreme beauty. No animal or giant animal analog will even attempt to harm Sune. No male being of any sort can lift a hand or thought to harm her once he sees her; it is simply impossible.
其祂顯現Other Manifestations
淑妮之存在或是眷顧的一種常見顯現是一道溫柔、幻影般的愛撫或是親吻,這通常伴隨着唯有這位女神和那些真正忠誠於她者才能發出的溫軟低吟。這種聲音在女神的大部分神殿中無盡地上演,而愛情女士the Lady of Love 的所有忠誠信徒都熟悉這種聲音。作為一種選擇,淑妮能在空氣中顯現為一團無形的興奮浪潮,使得某處場所內的所有生物都更愉悅,更精力旺盛,並強烈地與肉慾協調一致——那意味着,使其能敏銳地感知嗅覺、味覺、以及對四周環境的知覺。淑妮也通過以下的出現或在場,展現她的眷顧:火鴿、火焰罌粟、紅寶石、(尤其是深紅色的)玫瑰或玫瑰花瓣、栗色的馬匹、半羊人、風精、水妖精以及樹精。
A common manifestation of Sune's presence or favor is a gentle, phanton caress or kiss, usually accompanied by a soft crooning chat only the goddess and those truly loyal to her can emit. This sound is performed endlessly in most temples of the goddess and it familiar to all faithful worshipers of the Lady of Love. Alternatively, Sune can manifest as an unseen surge of excitement in the air that makes all beings in a locale happier, more energetic, and forcibly attuned to the sensual一that is, made acutely aware of the smells, tastes, and feel of their surroundings. Sune also shows her favor through the appearance or presence of fire doves, flame poppies, rubies, roses or rose petals (especially deep red ones), chestnut horses, satyrs, sylphs, nymphs, and dryads.
在此刻享受着淑妮特別垂青的個體(尤其淑妮神職人員的一員),或是被淑妮指派了某項任務者或淑妮的冠軍鬥士,通常會發出一道紅色、粉色和白色的閃爍靈光,象徵着女神的眷顧。當這樣的靈光逐漸消褪,將給其負載者帶來一道 醫療術heal 法術的效果。這種靈光是女神的贈禮;向女神祈求獲得將會激怒她,並惹怒聽見了這項請求的淑妮教派神職人員。
An individual (especially a member of Sune's clergy) enjoying Sune's special favor at the moment, or who has been charged with a task or the role of Sune's champion, often glows with a red, pink, and white scintillating aura signifying the favor of the goddess. When such an aura fades away, it bestows the effects of a heal spell on its wearer. This aura is the gift of the goddess; to ask her for it would anger her and outrage any Sunite clergy who heard of the request.
那些以淑妮之名完成了某些宏偉使命的祭司,將從淑妮那獲得巨大的恩賜,可能會被贈予一劑 永金池Evergold 水,使這位祭司的魅力屬性上升2d4點,持續一天,並且對在飲者將這劑水一飲而盡後的1回合內看見飲者的人,起到等同於一劑 "愛情靈藥philter of love" 的作用。只有淑妮的祭司能從這劑水中獲得增益——對其他所有人而言它都只是毒素。在這種情形下,魅力值可以達到神明的級別。在這天結束水的效果消退後,魅惑效果和高魅力帶來的增益將消褪,但最初的反應和任何迷情效果都將保留。
Those priests who have earned a great boon from Sune by completing some great task in her name may be gifted with a draft of Evergold that raises the Charisma of the priest who consumes it by 2d4 points for one day and acts as a philter of love upon anyone who sees the drinker for one turn after the draft is quaffed. Only priests of Sune may benefit from this draft一to all others it is poison. Charisma may reach godly levels in this fashion. Charming effects wear off and followers and henchmen gained at high Charisma drift away after the draft wears off at the end of the day, but initial reactions and any enamoring effects remain.

清秀標誌的男性和女性人類、精靈和半精靈侍奉着愛情女士。女性神職人員數量與男性神職人員的比例超過8:1,但男性因相對稀有而全都被高度重視。除了自然的美貌外,所有的神職人員都必須掌握一項誘惑或取悅的手段,因為高魅力值對淑妮教派神職人員來說是必不可少的。虔誠的淑妮教徒蔑視或是同情醜陋、身體的不完美、或是被毀容者,而若是獲得了某種缺陷,而這種缺陷不能被以法術或是其它手段的變形法術遮掩或治療,則意味着一位淑妮教徒祭司生涯的終結。其祂信仰往往認為淑妮教派徒輕浮、自負、膚淺,但基本無害。淑妮教徒與精靈女神哈娜莉·瑟拉妮爾的追隨者們存在着激烈的競爭。
Comely male and female humans, elves, and half-elves serve the Lady of Love. Female clergy outnumber male clergy eight to one, but the men are all the more highly valued for their relative rarity. All clergy must possess an alluring or pleasing manner in addition to natural beauty, for high Charisma is essential for Sunite clergy. Ugly, physically imperfect, or marred beings are disparaged or pitied by devout Sunites, and an acquired imperfection that cannot be masked or healed by spells or other means of shapeshifting spells the end of a Sunite priest's career. Other faiths tend to regard Sunites as flighty, vain, and rather superficial, but basically harmless. Sunites have an intense rivalry with the followers of the elven goddess Hanali Celanil.
淑妮教派的教團組織鬆散而不正式,其領導層經常隨着神職人員的變化而變化。最有魅力的淑妮教派神職人員通常是高階祭司。幾乎沒有什麼會讓祭司把一切拋下、投身荒野,尤其是如果目標不是某些美麗的物品或美麗的個體的話,而這樣的行為在教團中幾乎聞所未聞。
The Sunite church's organization is loose and informal, and its leadership changes regularly with the whims of its clergy. The most charismatic Sunite clergy are usually the high priests and priestesses. Little is thought of a priest dropping everything and going bounding off into the wild, particularly if the goal is some beautiful object or some beautiful individual, and such behavior creates little scandal in the church.
淑妮教派的神殿要麼是有着驚人美麗、設計奇妙的建築物,要麼有着經典的優雅結構,以雕塑景觀妝點。許多淑妮教派神殿展示着有着華麗花壇、受過良好修整的藤蔓組成的棚和涼亭、以及精心修建過的樹木和灌木的正式花園。伴隨着柔和、魔法的光亮的、精緻的雕塑與華麗的噴泉,提供了大部分淑妮教派神殿花園的中心點。
Sunite temples are either stunningly beautiful edifices of fantastic design or classically elegant structures strategically enhanced by sculptured landscaping. Many Sunite temples sport formal gardens with gorgeous flower beds, trellises and bowers of well-trained vines, and carefully pruned trees and topiaries. Fine sculptures and sumptuous fountains that play with soft, magical lighting provide focal points in most Sunite temple gardens.
教義Dogma:
淑妮教徒說:美麗不是膚淺的;它源自於一個生命的內質,並將它的優雅(或是醜惡)展現給這個世界。淑妮的追隨者們相信愛情故事,相信真愛將戰勝一切,相信跟隨內心將到達自己真正的目的地。直面充滿挑戰、不可能的愛情,醜小鴨會變成天鵝,這些都是淑妮教誨的一部分。
Beauty is more than skin deep, say the Sunites; it issues from the core of ones being and shows one's fair (or foul) face to the world. The followers of Sune are believers in romance, ture love winning over all, and following ones heart to one's true destination. Faced matches, impossible loves, and ugly ducklings becoming swans are all part of the teaching of Sune.
初修士教徒被要求如下:「除了淑妮,你最愛的應是你自己,在火發女士之愛中放開自我。每天施行一個愛的舉動,在每個新的一天嘗試喚醒某人心中的愛。每天至少回應一次愛。
Novice Sunites receive the following charge:"Love none more than yourself save Sune, and lose yourself in love of the Lady Firehair. Perform a loving act every day, and seek to awaken love in someone new each day. Respond to love at least once in a day.
「無論在何處找到了美,都應予以鼓勵。去獲取各種各樣的美麗物品,無論你是在何時、何地發現了他們,要保護好生產了這些美麗物品的藝術家們。
「Encourage beauty wherever you find it. Acquire beautiful items of all sorts, and encourage, sponsor, and protect the artists who produce such things whenever and wherever you find them.
「保持你的軀體儘可能地秀美,以儘可能吸引人的方式展現。讓髮型與衣裝最好地契合你的個人形象,努力去激勵和取悅那些看着你的人。此外,不要躲開來,但要一直尋求以一種令人愉悅的方式向周遭之人展示你自己,從而用愛與欲望來感動他們。
「Keep your own body as comely as possible and as attractively displayed as situations warrant. Let hairstyle and clothing best suit your personal appearance, striving to stir and delight others who look upon you. Moreover, hide not away, but always seek to present yourself to those around you in a pleasing variety of garbs and activities so as to move them with love and desire.
「愛那些回應了你的美和萬物之美的人,讓溫暖的友誼與欣慕之花在愛不能或不敢的地方綻放吧。」
「Love those that respond to your beauty and all beauty, and let warm friendship and admiration flower where love cannot or dare not.」
日常活動Day-to-Day Activities:
淑妮教徒是些美學家和享樂主義者,她們積極地在萬物中尋求歡愉和美麗。她們的生活是追求審美的享受。
Sunites are aesthetes and hedonists, who actively seek out pleasure and beauty in all things. The pursuit of aesthetic enjoyment is their life.
淑妮教派神職人員發現美麗的藝術品、雕塑和手工藝品時,她們會買下它們,在必要時為出色的藝術家提供贊助並為這類物品多付錢,來推高價格、創造更多的需求、進而提升美麗事物的供給。只要經濟許可跟價格差距不大她們就會一直這樣做,並且在必要時進行喬裝打扮。
Sunite clergy buy beautiful items of art, sculpture, and handiwork whenever they find it, sponsoring good artists where necessary and overpaying for such items so as to drive prices up, create more demand, and so increase the supply of things of beauty. This is to be done as often as funds afford and subtlety permits, and in disguise if need be.
當淑妮教派神職人員必須執行骯髒的任務時,被鼓勵以偽裝來保護身體以及隱瞞身份。虔誠的祭司總是會僱傭或是資助冒險者和其他人,來消滅那些破壞美麗造物之人。
Whenever Sunite clergy must perform dirty tasks, the use of disguise is encouraged to protect the body as well as to conceal ldentity. The devout priest always hires or supports adventurers and others to destroy beings who vandalize beautiful creations.
所有的淑妮神職人員也致力於以個人的道路創造美,最好是作為一位靜態的優美藝術品作者(玻璃裝飾品、繪畫、或是掛毯都很流行),但如果其它路沒走通,也可以作為一位舞者。當她們中的某人獲取了製作美麗事物的專業知識時,她有義務通過訓練來將這些知識傳授給他人,並且一個人已展現了誠懇,就不能回絕。任何通過這類訓練賺到的錢,應該交予教會來促進更多之美、之愛的發展。
All clergy of Sune also strive to create beauty in a personal way, preferably as a creator of static fine art (blown-glass ornaments, paintings, or tapestries are all fashionable), but as a dancer if one fails at all else. When one of them gains expertise in crafting things of beauty, she or he is obliged to pass on such learning by training others and turning away no one who shows genuine promise. Any moneys made through such training should be given to the church to further the growth of beauty and love everywhere.
雖然淑妮教派神職人員能斷然拒絕不合心意的求愛,但應當致力於在她們自己之間和其他人之間的友誼和浪漫感覺,通常她們到了諸國度的何處,何處的愛就將蓬勃發展。因為單身狗最需這些(而它們也最可能加入到火發女士的愛海中),勤勉的神職人員應當為了友誼而找出它們。任何人,無論是多麼平凡、或是在信仰上與女士之道多麼背離,都應當得到衣裝、髮型設計、化妝品、以及舉止、歌唱與禮儀的素養上的援助,使他們儘可能地美麗。
Although Sunite clergy can rebuff unwanted advances, they should strive to build friendships and romantic feelings between themselves and others and in general wherever they go so that love may prosper everywhere in the Realms. As the lonely are in most need of such things (and the most likely to join in love of the Lady Firehair), they should he sought out by diligent clergy for friendship. Everyone, no matter how homely or disparate in faith from the path of the Lady, should be assisted by gifts of clothing, hair styling, cosmetics, and lessons in deportment, dancing, and manners to so as make themselves as beautiful as possible.
聖日/重要慶典Holy Days/Important Ceremonies:
淑妮教徒以大量的戶外嬉戲慶祝 綠草節Greengrass,在 仲夏節之夜Midsummer Night 整夜在林間和公園調情,但當地的祭職者會安排其它時間的慶典來找樂子,每月至少會有一場 大狂歡盛會Grand Revel 降臨,每旬至少會舉辦一場 愛情盛宴Feast of Love。
Greengrass is celebrated by Sunites with a great deal of outdoor frolicking, and Midsummer Night with night-long flirtatious chases through forests and parks, but local priesthoods can set the times of other celebrations to their own pleasure, as long as at least one Grand Revel befalls each month and at least one Feast of Love is celebrated in every tenday.
大狂歡盛會是一場黃昏到黎明、邀請外人的聚會,聚會以舞蹈和表演為主,那些信徒會試圖以樂趣、以及一些個神殿或神龕的美麗藝術品或魔法寶藏的展覽來吸引皈依者。愛情盛宴則是更為親密、靜謐的事情,只對信徒開放,她們躺在沙發上,在獨舞者表演時,盡情享受着溫柔地品茗着利口酒,小口品嘗着風味微妙的小食(這是開胃菜「拼盤d'oeuvres」在諸國度的名字)以及美味的糕點。由技藝高超的歌手朗讀的浪漫詩句與散文、歌唱的愛情短詩,妝點着這些舞蹈。這樣的儀式總是分成私人的聚會,不過對那些不喜歡更私人的社交活動的在場者,會有吟遊詩人們為她們講述 費倫大陸Faerûn 上的宮廷愛情故事或神話。
A Grand Revel is a dusk-to-dawn party to which outsiders are invited, dancing and minstrelsy dominate, and those of the faith seek to attract converts with fun and the exhibition of a few of a temple's or shrines beautiful art objects or magical treasures. A Feast of Love is a more intimate, quiet affair, open only to the faithful, who lie on couches and indulge in the gentle sipping of liqueurs and nibbling at subtly flavored bitelets (as savory hors d'oeuvres are called in the Realms) and sweet pastries while lone dancers perform. These dances are interspersed with readings of romantic verse and prose and lays of love sung by skilled minstrels. Such rituals always break up into private gatherings, though bards are always on hand to relate tales of courtly love or mysteries of Faerûn for those who do not feel like socializing more privately.
淑妮教徒也會為淑妮獻上私人的祈禱,祈禱時她們總是會穿着美麗的儀式服裝、站在池塘或浴缸中、看着被自然光或蠟燭(而不能是別的)點亮的鏡子。那些在生活中尋求指導的人,加入了該信仰的人,或是贖罪的人,將縱情於一整夜的 燭光守夜Candle Vigil。淑妮將通過鏡中看見的幻象向她們發去指引——通常是以某些方式改變了這位崇拜者的鏡影。
Sunites also offer personal prayers to Sune, always while dressed in beautiful ritual garments, standing in a pool or bath, and looking into a mirror lit only by natural light or candles. Those seeking guidance in life, entry into the faith, or atonement indulge in a night-long Candle Vigil. Sune sends guidance to them by visions visible in the mirror—often by altering the reflection of the worshiper in some way.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
有一所淑妮教派的聖邸最近超越了 達爾倫城Daerlun 美麗的 火發之邸House of Firehair 以及 永林城Everlund 與 無冬城Neverwinter 的美麗公園,成為了淑妮崇拜的首要神殿,那便是 深水城Waterdeep 的 美之聖殿the Temple of Beauty。這處富麗而重要的聖地是最近重建的豪華建築,它纖細的塔錐細膩光滑、指向天空。在那些塔的周圍有一些色澤柔和的漂浮的浮球,它們漂移的光也照亮了神殿的內室。據說這座神殿聚集了來自費倫大陸遙遠各方的美麗人們。它給敵對的 深水人Waterdhavian 貴族家族提供了一處會面和共同追求浪漫的中立安全地點。對所有信仰的遊客而言,美之聖殿也是最愛的目的地,但非淑妮教徒必須向這位女神奉上美麗而昂貴的祭品才能獲准進入。
One Sunite holy house has recently outstripped the beautiful House of Firehair in Daerlun and the sacred parks in Everlund and Neverwinter to become preeminent in the worship of Sune:the Temple of Beauty in Waterdeep. This rich and important sacred site is a recently rebuilt house of graceful grandeur whose slender towers taper with exquisite smoothness as they reach up into the sky. Around these towers soft-hued driftglobes float, and their wandering light also illuminates the interior chambers of the temple. The temple is said to house chambers of great luxury where beautiful people gather from far across Faerûn. It serves as a safe neutral ground for Waterdhavian nobles of hostile houses to meet and pursue romance together. The Temple of Beauty is also a favorite destination for tourists of all faiths, but non-Sunites must make handsome and expensive offerings to the goddess to be allowed entry.
從屬組織Affiliated Orders:
淑妮教團贊助了數量極多的名譽組織,似乎每當有祭司晉升為當地神殿的首領,這些組織都會有所變化。這些名義上的組織向在各種藝術追求中嶄露的卓越致敬。
The church of Sune sponsors an endless slew of honorary orders that seem to change with every new priestess or priest to rise to the head of a local temple. These titular orders convey honors for excellence in various artistic pursuits.
該教會也擁有由戰士、聖武士和吟遊詩人組成的小規模附屬騎士團,他們與神職人員們一道守衛着神殿和聖地,有時也會以淑妮之名從事探索或行善,從而促進她的信仰。(若DM希望允許使用它,則出自《完全吟遊詩人手冊The Compile Bard's Handbook》的 勇者gallant kit尤其適合這些吟遊詩人。)為了成為 紅寶石玫瑰的兄弟姊妹會the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose 的一員,候選者必須在淑妮教會中站着守夜整晚。若火發女士女生在此夜間以幻象對候選者神臨,或是以某種方式展現了她的眷顧,候選者將被接納入該組織。組織中的成員們在未執行重要職責時,會寫些宮廷愛情散文和歌曲,並且經常從遠方收養美麗的個體加入這一崇拜,而不管那個個體是否樂意。
The church also has a small affiliated knighrly order of fighters, paladins, and bards who serve to guard temples and holy sites along with the clergy and who sometimes pursue quests or do good works in Sune's name to promote her faith. (The gallant kit from The Compile Bard's Handbook is especially appropriate for these bards if the DM wishes to allow it.) To become one of the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose, a candidate stands vigil in a church of Sune all night. If the Lady Firehair appears to the candidate in a vision during the night or somehow shows her favor, the candidate is admitted to the order. Members in this order are given to writing essays and songs of courtly love when not engaged in vital business, and often adopt a beautiful individual to adore from afar whether that individual would be flattered by such attentions or not.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
淑妮教徒不會對袒露身體感到羞怯。淑妮教派祭司們的標準典禮服飾是僧侶長袍(男性)和修女服(女性),兩種都被修裁以適合穿戴者的形體輪廓,並染成了深紅色。頭髮通常被留長,而且在儀式期間允許將頭髮自由垂落。在其它時候,女祭司們戴着帶有V形頂革的迷人修女頭巾,而男祭司們則用深紅色的圍巾把他們的頭髮綁起來。雖然紅髮被認為是女神之觸,但任何的發色、膚色都同樣受到歡迎,只要它們沒有污損並且秀麗。
Sunites are not bashful about their bodies. The standard ceremonial garb of Sunite priests is monastic robes for men and habits for women, both cut to show off the figure of the wearer and dyed a deep crimson. Hair is normally worn long and allowed to fall free during rituals. At other times, priestesses wear attractive wimples with v-shaped crown pieces, and priests bind their tresses back with crimson scarves. While red hair is considered touched by the goddess, all shades of hair and skin are welcome, provided they are unmarred and lovely.
除了女神之臉外,其它不太常見淑妮徽記是一隻眨眼的眼睛(通常被視作淑妮教派神殿之門的鮮活幻象),或是一對分開的金色女性唇瓣,而生動的紅寶石紅舌尖在它們之間正好可見,俏皮地舔着上唇。
Aside from her face, other, less-common symbols of Sune are a winking eye (often seen as an animated illusion on the doors of Sunite temples) or a pair of golden parted female lips with the tip of a vivid ruby-red tongue just visible between them, slyly touching the upper lip.
冒險裝束Adventuring Garb:
在輕鬆的社交生活中,神職成員通常把女神的嬌唇塗在肩膀或腹部。在這種時候,她們會對衣服進行裁剪來露出女神的徽記。當在戰鬥或冒險時,在她們負擔的起的前提下,淑妮的牧師們喜歡有儘可能多的保護(包括魔法保護和其它保護)。這並非說她們是懦婦,但她們孤注一擲地想要避免疤痕甚或是需要魔法治療。淑妮教派神職人員通常穿戴着過大、華麗、墊得很厚的全身甲(例如板甲或板鎧,甚或是鱗甲或鏈甲,附帶有完整的頭巾、頭盔以及盾牌),這種防具被設計為讓身體能在可見的污損面前得到最大化的保護。通常這樣的鎧甲有溝紋、被拋光地如鏡面般閃亮、或是以其它裝飾,使其儘可能地悅目。
At light-hearted social functions, members of the clergy often wear the lips of the goddess painred on a shoulder or their midriff. At such times, they don garments cut away to display the badge of the goddess. When fighting or adventuring, clerics of Sune prefer as much protection (magical and otherwise) as they can afford. It is not that they are cowards, but they want desperately to avoid scars or even the need for magical healing. Sunite clergy often wear oversized, ornate, heavily padded full body armor (such as plate mail or plate armor, or even scale mail or chain mail with full coifs, helmets, and shields) designed to afford the body maximum protection againsr visible marring. Often such armor is fluted, polished mirror-bright, or otherwise adorned so as to be as pleasing to the eye as possible.

❖精靈和半精靈可以成為心之看守,不過她們會招致精靈的女性美神哈娜莉·瑟拉妮爾的忿怒。
❖ Elves and half-elves may become heartwarders, though they invite the wrath of Hanali Celanil, the goddess of elven beauty.
❖心之看守可以嘗試 魅惑charm(如同1級法師法術 魅惑人類charm person)同族的異性。心之看守每日能進行一次這樣的魅惑嘗試,但若魅惑失敗了(受害者被允許進行對抗法術豁免檢定),她們在已有的神龕或神殿作出適當的獻祭和藥物治療前,不能再使用這項能力。心之看守魅力值每比16高1,將對受害者的豁免檢定帶來-1懲罰(17為-2,18為-2)。
❖ Heartwarders may attempt to charm (as the 1st-Ievel wizard spell charm person) irulividuals of the same race ami opposite sex. Heartwarders may attempt this charm once per day, but if it fails (victims are allowed a saving throw vs. spell) they cannot use this ability again until they have made proper offerings and medications at an established shrine or temple. The victim has a -1 penalty to the saving throw for every point of Charisma the heartwarder has above 16 (-1 at 17, -2 at 18).
❖在第3級,每日1次,心之看守能夠施展 愛之齧love bite(如同2級祭司法術)。
❖ At 3rd level, heartwarders are able to cast love bite (as the 2nd-level priest spell) once a day.
❖在第5級,每日1次,心之看守能夠施展 狂喜術rapture(如同3級祭司法術)或 魅惑人類charm person(如同1級法師法術)。
❖ At 5th level, heartwarders are able to cast rapture (as the 3rd-level priest spell) or charm person (as the 1st-level wizard spell) once a day.
❖在第7級,每日1次,心之看守能夠施展 焰擊術flame strike(如同5級祭司法術)。
❖ At 7th level, heartwarders are able to cast flame strike (as the 5th-level priest spell) once a day.
❖在第9級,心之看守的魅力值永久+1。
❖ At 9th level, heartwarders gain a permanent +1 to their Charisma.
❖在第9級,每日1次,心之看守能夠施展 控制情感emotion(如同4級法師法術)。
❖ At 9th level, heartwarders arc able to cast emotion (as the 4th-level wizard spell) once a day.
❖在第12級,每日1次,心之看守能夠在任何智慧聖物信眾喚起愛的感受(如同 愛情靈藥philter of love 的迷情效果),並且每日一旬能夠施展一道 群體魅惑mass charm(如同8級法師法術)。
❖ At 12th level, heartwarders may arouse feelings of love (as the enamoring effects of a philter of love) in any intelligent being and cast mass charm (as the 8th-level wizard spell) once a tenday.
❖若心之看守的魅力能力值降到了16以下,那麼在回復失去的屬性值恢復前,她將被從該信仰逐出。在其教會等級制度中,對那些毀容者或相貌平平者的偏見是非常強烈的。
❖ Should the Charisma ability score of heartwarder drop below 16, then she or he is cast out of the faith until the loss in ability score is recovered. The prejudice within the church hierarchy against those who are marred or plain is very strong.

這道法術將把一個由施法者在空氣中創造的吻,傳遞到選中的一位可見且在範圍內的生物上。這個吻可以是個簡單的標誌(幻影之唇輕拂而過),一口造成1點傷害的真實齧咬(但咬中的不能是目標特別脆弱的部位),或是作為無誤傳遞另一道傷害性或增益性法術的手段,這道法術必須是在 愛之齧love bite 施展後的3輪內施展,且需要一次觸碰來傳遞。
This spell delivers a kiss made by the caster on the emptry air unerringly to a chosen creature who is visible and within range. The kiss can be a simple signal (the brush of phantom lips), an actual bite that does 1 point of damage (but cannot target a specifically vulnerable spot), or the means of unerringly delivering another single harmful or beneficial spell cast within the three rounds immediately preceding the casting of love bite that requires a touch to deliver.

這道法術將賦予受術者一種幸福的狀態,暫時將其士氣提升到20,消除他的所有痛苦、噁心和疲倦,不過除了受術者的精神狀態外,它實際上並未治療或改變任何東西(因此這道法術的效果基於突然的使感官知覺失效,如 臭雲術stinking cloud 造成的無力)。如果傷情許可,受害者可以以開心、精神已復、已得休息、高度精神、未受傷害般行動。在受術者被狂喜時,那些對其欲望施加折磨的誘惑設計將無效(例如塞壬之歌)。被狂喜的受術者不會被催眠或任何(魔法或靈能)控制或影響其精神的嘗試(例如,魅惑人類charm person 法術)影響。
This spell confers a state of bliss upon its recipient, temporarily raising his or her morale to 20 and banishing all feelings of pain, nausea, or weariness, though it actually heals and changes nothing except the recipient's state of mind (and thus spell effects based on sudden negative sensory perceptions, such as the incapacitation caused by a stinking cloud). So as any injuries permit, the recipient acts happy, refreshed, rested, high-spirited, and unhurt. While the recipient is enraptured, lures designed to prey upon his or her libido are ignored (such as the song of sirens). Enraptured recipients are not affected by hypnosis or any attempts (magical or psionic) to control or influence their minds (for example, charm person spells).
被狂喜狀態是好壞參半的。每當生物遭受了 狂喜術 法術的影響,它必須成功通過對抗癱瘓豁免檢定,否則在法術持續期間,將受到過強的影響而被震懾。被震懾的生物將顫抖,棄落手持的物品或武器,並且直到法術消褪前,都不能進行主動或故意的行為。狂喜效果只影響智慧哺乳動物。淑妮Sune 的祭司可以施展 狂喜術 在自己身上;她們在避免震懾的豁免檢定上獲得+4獎勵。
The enraptured state can be a mixed blessing. Whenever a being is affected by a rapture spell, it must succeed at a saving throw vs. paralyzation or he so strongly affected as to be stunned for the spell durarion. Stunned beings tremble, drop any held items or weapons, and can take no voluntary or deliberate actions until the spell wears off. Rapture affects only intelligent mammals. Priests of Sune may cast rapture on themselves; they receive a +4 bonus to their saving throws to avoid being stunned.

這道法術得名於很久以前設計了它的著名女祭司,因其會臨時將施法者或所接觸的一隻生物的美麗提升到超凡脫俗的等級,有時也被稱作「迷人魅者glamour glamer」。這道法術也會影響受術者的聲音與優雅,使其在所有涉及個人魅力的情況下,將魅力值提升到等效於20。與法術受術者同族、異性者,只要不聾不瞎,就將無助地被受術生物着迷,並輕易地為其每個哪怕最渺小的突發奇想服務。
Named for the famous long-ago priestess who devised it, this spell is sometimes called the "glamour glamer" because it temporarily augments the beauty of the caster or a touched being to unearthly levels. The spell also affects the recipient's voice and grace, boosting effective Charisma to 20 in all situations involving personal allure. Beings of the same race and opposite gender of the spell recipient who are not deaf and blind are helplessly smitten by the affected being and eagerly leap to serve his or her smallest whim.

這道法術允許一位 淑妮Sune 的女祭司通過轉化為 樹精dryad(一種預期壽命、體格與健康水平遠超凡物範疇的生物),來避免老化與死亡。只有淑妮的高階並且有些孤注一擲的女祭司才會使用,她們使用它來保持一定的青春與魅力,以避免當她們再也無法阻擋歲月摧殘時,遭受被逐出神職人員的羞辱。這道法術的使用在教會中已不再受歡迎,但如何祈禱的知識依然保存於 淑妮教派Sunite 的圖書館裏。
This spell allows a female priest of Sune to avoid old age and death by transforming into a dryad, a being with a life expectancy and strength of constitution and health far beyond mortal range. This spell is used only by high-ranking and somewhat desperate priestesses of Sune, who use is to retain a certain youth and charm and to avoid the shame of being cast out of the clergy when they can no longer hold off the ravages of age. The use of this spell has fallen out of favor in the church, but knowledge of the prayer is retained in the Sunite liturgy.
在施展這道法術時,施法者將連接自己與一棵樹,與之結合使其實際變為一位樹精(如同《怪物圖鑑Monstrous Manual》一書中的),在此過程中,她將失去施法和其它職業能力,但作為它們的代替將獲得全部樹精異能。因為這道法術是不可逆的,所以它很少被使用,只有在某人自願離開這個世界,將她們的職位留給新一代時才會使用。在儀式結束時,施法者必須通過一次身體休克骰,否則將死亡。
Upon casting this spell, the caster links herself with a tree and unites with it so that she actually becomes a dryad (as in the Monstrous Manual tome), losing her spellcasting and other class abilities in the process, but getting all a dryad's powers in their stead. As this spell is nor reversible, it is used rarely and only by individuals willing to leave this world and relinquish their positions to a new generation. At the end of the ceremony, the caster must pass a system shock roll or die.
這道法術的成功使用要求一棵自願接受樹精融合(以 植物交談術speak with plants 法術可以獲知),兩位自願的淑妮教派教團助手(最好是神職人員)在場,以及這位施法者的聖徽。該法術儀式每一部分的缺失,將導致法術的身體休克骰遭受-10%的懲罰(例如,因沒找到一棵「自願」的樹而-10%,因只有一位助手而-10%,等等)。
Successful use of this spell requires a tree willing to accept the dryad-to-be (which can be learned by a speak with plants spell), the presence of two willing assistants of the Sunite church (preferably clergy), and the caster's holy symbol. The system shock roll that marks the conclusion of the spell is penalized by -10% for every componenr of the spell ritual that is missing (for instance, -10% for not finding a willing tree, -10% for only one assistant, etc.).
