群星中的宗教Religion in the Stars
牧师和专属祭司们往往会因恐惧失去施法能力而担心进入 荒宇wildspace。其实对这点无需再有疑问。当然,当牧师或是祭司进入太空时,他们神明的神力的确会发生一些改变,但多数时候,这些改变还没到让角色感到沮丧的地步。
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.
有些改变是积极的,但偶尔,神力可能会有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司们进入 燃素海the phlogiston、与其神明失去一切接触的时候。在进入到晶壁系中时,某一角色是否会与他的神明完全而彻底的分离?接下来的章节将详述:魔法船牧师与专属祭司在荒宇中时,诸神与他们的关系、以及诸神本身。
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.

这位神明的力量使得授予的法术将随着祭司靠近晶壁而增强——请注意,国度天宇晶壁系Realmspace crystal sphere 是唯一存在该现象的晶壁系。此现象背后的原因是晶壁内部排列的符文与结界(详见 天宇概述Sphere Overview)。
This god's powers to grant spells increase as a priest gets closer to the crystal sphere—please note that the Realmspace crystal sphere is the only sphere in which this phenomenon happens. This is caused by the glyphs and wards that line the sphere's interior, detailed in Sphere Overview.
在进入 荒宇wildspace 时,祭司的施法能力将提升1级。当牧师进入 赫卡斯星球H'Catha 与晶壁之间时,施法能力将提升2级,而到达晶壁一天旅程范围内时,施法能力将提升3级。
When a priest enters wildspace, his spell casting ability increases by one level. Once the priest enters the space between H'Catha and the sphere, the casting ability increases to plus two levels, and when the priest is within one day's travel of the sphere, his spell casting level effectively increases by three levels.
随着施法等级的提升,施法者可以施展比在“后方”时经验等级所允许的更高等级的法术。对这些施法者而言不幸的是,这些提升都是临时的。一旦上述条件不再成立,提升的法术等级将被移除。而一旦离开了晶壁系,祭司将丧失他的施法能力。若是进入了另一个晶壁系,这位祭司仍保持与 迪尼尔Deneir 失联的状态,直到再次进入国度天宇前,都将失去所有施法能力。
With all these level increases, the caster is allowed to throw spells that are higher in level than his "rear" experience would normally allow. Unfortunately for the spell caster, these increases are only temporary. Once one of the preceding conditions no longer exists, the increased spell level abilities are removed. Once outside the sphere, spell casting diminishes to nothing. If another crystal sphere is entered, the priest is still out of contact with Deneir, and all spell casting abilities are lost until Realmspace is again entered.

迪尼尔Deneir
文字与图像之主The Lord of All Glyphs and Images,最初的抄写员the First Scribe,欧格玛的抄写员the Scribe of Oghma
迪尼尔是文学与识字之神,艺术家和抄写员的守护神。他的权力是准确无误地呈现和描述,书写与阅读,传送信息。传说中,迪尼尔经常被描绘为欧格玛服务的抄写员,有时被认为是欧格玛的右手。
Deneir is the god of literature and literacy, the patron of the artist and the scribe. His is the power to accurately render and describe, to write and to read, and to pass on information. In legend, Deneir is often portrayed as being a scribe in service to Oghma, and he is sometimes thought of as Oghma's right hand.
对写信和记录信息的人而言,向迪尼尔祈祷以避免出错是很常见的做法。同样的,艺术家在开始和完成绘画前也向迪尼尔致意,尤其是泥金装饰手抄本,讲述故事的壁毯,以及任意用艺术捕捉真相的尝试。
It's common practice for someone who writes a letter or records information to say a prayer to Deneir to avoid mistakes. Similarly, artists acknowledge Deneir before beginning and upon completing paintings, particularly illuminations on manuscripts, tapestries that relate stories, and any such attempt to use art to capture the truth.
迪尼尔信徒认为,没有记录和保存以供以后使用的数据将会丢失信息;识字作为神赐予的重要礼物,应当被传播和教授。迪尼尔信徒多是忠诚的抄写员和学者,他们和自己所信奉的神一样,致力于保存书面作品,并体验它们,因为他们认为迪尼尔隐藏在所有书面作品的行列、框架和段落中。迪尼尔牧师也宣誓必须接受任何人写信和翻译的请求。
Followers of Deneir believe that information not recorded and saved for later use is information lost. They consider literacy an important gift of the gods, one that should be spread and taught. His followers are scribes and scholars devoted, like their patron, to preserving written works, and also to experiencing them, for they say that Deneir himself is hidden within the lines, shapes, and passages of all written works. Priests of Deneir take an oath of charity as well, compelling them to accept the requests of others to write letters and transcribe information.
迪尼尔信徒往往是个人主义者,共同的信仰虽然将他们团结在一起,却不太关注宗教等级和礼仪。这一行为有以下事实支持:迪尼尔的神术通常赐予给沉迷于书籍的人,而不是幻想自己是神殿的组织者的人。对教典《万界和谐之书the Tome of Universal Harmony》的沉思,是获得迪尼尔祝福最有效的方式。
The god's followers tend to be individualists, united by their shared faith but not overly concerned with religious hierarchy and protocol. This behavior is supported by the fact that Deneir's blessings of divine magic are more often bestowed on those who lose themselves in written works than on those who fancy themselves part of any temple or religious order. Contemplation of the faith's most holy book, the Tome of Universal Harmony, is the most effective way to become deserving of Deneir's blessings.
