魔索布莱城的魔法Magic of Menzoberranzan:特殊法术Special Spells

对少许隐藏在 魔索布莱城Menzoberranzn 的 维伦Vhaeraun 祭司而言,有几种法术对他们的日常生存至关重要。(大部分 蒙面之主The Masked Lord 的法术都只要求他的圣徽在施法者的1英里之内,而不强求在施法者身上。)此处列有其中几道特殊法术:
Certain spells are crucial to the daily survival of the few, hidden priests of Vhaeraun in Menzoberranzan. (Most spells of The Masked Lord require his holy symbol to be within 1 mile of the caster, not on the caster's person.) Here are a few of these special spells:
第2级法术Second Level Spell
维伦之佑Blessing of Vhaeraun
(咒法/召唤Conjuration/Summoning)
领域Sphere:战斗Combat
距离Range:接触Touch
成分Components:言语V,姿势S
持续时间Duration:特殊Special
施法时间Casting Time:4
影响区域Area of Effect:接触的生物Creature touched
豁免检定Saving Throw:无None
这道法术使施法者或者接触的受术者在使用任何盗贼能力和盗贼武器攻击时,得到+5的攻击奖励和+25%的能力奖励。此行动(无论对受术者有益还是有害)造成的任何伤害,在d8骰投出1~6时取最大值(否则正常结算伤害)。法术受术者需选择要增强能力或攻击,并大声声明(“现在给我支援!”)。它必须在施法后的1回合内完成,否则魔法将散去。若在将祝福用掉之前的轮,有人将 驱散魔法dispel magic 施展在受术者身上,法术也将失败。
This spell enables any one thiefly ability use or weapon attack of the caster or a touched spell recipient, to be performed with a + 5 attack roll bonus or + 25% ability bonus. Any damage caused by this action (harmful or beneficial to the recipient) will be the maximum possible on a d8 roll of 1-6 (otherwise, determine damage normally). The ability or attack to be augmented is chosen by the spell recipient and stated aloud ("Let the aid be NOW!"). It must be performed within 1 turn of casting, or the magic is lost. It also fails if a dispel magic is cast on the recipient before the round in which the blessing is used.
第6级法术Sixth Level Spells
踏空而行Air Tread
(转化Alteration)
领域Sphere:死灵Necromantic
距离Range:接触Touch
成分Components:言语V,姿势S,材料M
持续时间Duration:1 轮round +1 轮/级round/level
施法时间Casting Time:9
影响区域Area of Effect:接触的生物Creature touched
豁免检定Saving Throw:无None
这道法术是常见的 气行术air walk 稍强一些的版本,能暂时改变这位祭司或某只所接触生物(大型L或更小)的体重,使被接触者能以正常的平衡感和速度在液面或“空气上”行走。与3级法术 水面行走water walk 不同的是,这位生物的足部将实际接触到履及的液面。
This spell, a slightly more powerful version of the common air walk spell, temporarily alters the body weight of the priest or a touched being (of L-size or less), so that the spell recipient can walk upon liquid or "on air" with normal balance and at normal movement rate. Unlike the third level spell water walk, the being's feet do contact any liquid walked upon.
若是被施展在坠落之人身上,这道法术将在他们再坠落一段与体长相同的身位后停止下降(如果在此期间坠地,基础坠落伤害将减半)。在面临距离非常长的坠落时,可以在法术持续时间内向下行走,以缩短这场不可避免的坠落的起点高度。在法术结束后,该生物将重新正常下坠(并可能因此受到坠落伤害)。
If cast upon a falling person, this spell brings their descent to a stop within a further drop of their own body length (if any surface is struck during this time, base falling damage is halved). Very long falls can be lessened by using the spell duration to walk straight downwards, to lessen the height of the remaining, unavoidable fall. When this spell ends, normal descent (with possible falling damage) occurs.
这道法术通常被用来穿过峡谷、或从一个屋顶跑到另一个屋顶,但也可以用来在静止的半空中“站在空无一物”的高处施展另一道法术。在使用另一道法术后,这道法术将立即被耗尽,令施法者立即开始坠落。这道法术的材料成分是一根羽毛、一撮尘埃、以及一只任何尺码的凉鞋或鞋子。
This spell is customarily used to walk across chasms, or from one rooftop to another, but may be used to cast one additional spell from a stationary midair "standing on nothingness" perch. This use of the spell exhausts it immediately upon the completion of casting the other spell, so that the caster immediately begins to fall. The material components of this spell are a feather, a pinch of dust, and a sandal or shoe of any size.
欺骗窥私Deceive Prying
(预言Divination)
领域Sphere:共通All
距离Range:接触Touch
成分Components:言语V,姿势S,材料M
持续时间Duration:1 回合turn +1 回合/级turn/level
施法时间Casting Time:9
影响区域Area of Effect:接触的生物Creature touched
豁免检定Saving Throw:无None
这道法术将保护这位祭司(或解除的另一人)不受魔法和灵能检查(而非攻击)。受术者的阵营灵光、信仰和思想将被一套错误的阵营和信仰(在施法时选择)覆盖,并且其表面思想将有法术根据此人当前目睹的事情和其选择的虚假阵营与信仰,随机产生。此人可在不破坏这种保护的情况下施法,并在这道精神屏障后进行任何所需的心灵活动(包括使用灵能和进行 心灵感应telepathy)。除了使得攻击者的思想攻击不那么精确,进而为受术者提供对抗 魅惑人类charm person 魔法(而不包括更强大的 魅惑怪物charm monster)+1的奖励外,欺骗窥私Deceive Prying 不会提高对抗附魔/魅惑法术和灵能攻击的额外保护。
This spell protects the priest or another touched being from magical and psionic examination (not attack). The alignment aura, faith, and thoughts of the recipient are overlaid by a false alignment and set of beliefs (chosen during casting), and random surface thoughts are supplied by the spell, in response to what the being sees happening and the false alignment and faith chosen. The being can cast spells without breaking this protection, and conduct any mental activity desired (including the use of psionics or telepathy) behind the mental screen. A deceive prying spell provides no protection against enchantment/charm spells or psionic attacks except to give a +1 bonus to the initial saving throw against a charm person magic (not the more powerful charm monster), by making the attacker's mind assault less precise.
维伦Vhaeraun 的祭司们使用这道法术来躲避试图揭露他们身份的人。这道法术的材料是一滴颅液(可来自任何哺乳动物)和一小块铁立方体。
Priests of Vhaeraun use this spell to hide from those trying to discover their identities. Its material components are a drop of cranial fluid (from any mammal), and a small cube of iron.
