关于半精灵
DL影响很大的说 <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://localhost/ipb/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <br><br>14 APRIL 1982<br>by Roger Moore<br><br>translate by angelcat&elfleda<br><br>半精灵，是人类和精灵结合的产物，而并非是真正意义上的一个种族。他们尽管数量不多，但大都在人类或精灵的社会中成长起来。从外表来看，不论是半精灵的男性还是女性，都和这两个种族（人类和精灵）中的同龄人有很大差别。他们的体形比精灵略大而又比人类略小，有前者的良好协调感和敏锐感触，有后者的强健体魄和力量。他们面部特征（耳朵尤其如此）方面继承了很多精灵的特征，可是发色，皮肤的颜色和质地，眼睛的颜色则主要来自于人类那方。<br>撇开这些差异不谈，大多数的半精灵认为自己是天才，而非“怪人”。他们为自己的血统和所拥有的能力而自豪，而他们也在社会中得到了广泛的认同。半精灵是人类和精灵优秀品质的结合体。<br>半精灵内在的本性恰好将人类和精灵的本性融合在一起。通常继承自精灵父母那里的对自然美景的强烈热爱和对野外生活的向往，与一种复杂多变的潜在性格融合在一起。与精灵的排外性格和避世态度相比较，半精灵是非常开朗的，而且很随和，或许这就是联姻所得到的结果，结合了精灵的对所有生物的怜爱和人类的适应能力。<br>看起来半精灵都是些多面手，他们会设法去适应一个相当大范围的社会环境。他们比起其他种族而言，可以更宽泛的选择自己要从事的职业或要兼职的职业。尽管模版职业只提供了一个相当有限的职业，比如半精灵德鲁伊可以获得强大的力量和影响力；但由于他们所拥有的精神力量，他们仍然可以成为标准的牧师或是德鲁伊。半精灵似乎缺乏人类或是精灵所拥有的研习魔法的热情，但他们的技能仍可以到达相应的等级。他们的类德鲁伊的能力也可以帮助他们成为一个好游侠或是吟游诗人。<br>大部分半精灵会选择一个回报丰厚的职业，当然是偷窃，在这一方面，他们的素质甚至比人类都还要稍微好一些。半精灵好象格外擅长扒窃；不少人相信那是因为他们总显出一种友善的面孔，使人们对他们放松警惕，而另一些人则说这是由于他们格外的好奇心所致。<br>邪恶的半精灵可以成为非常好的刺客，他们可以在人类或精灵的社会中随意穿行并伪装成他们中的一员。只有人类和半兽人的刺客才可能比半精灵做的更好。<br>尽管活得比较久，但半精灵却并非格外长寿。相对精灵那种世界上一切时间尽其使用的时间观念，他们更倾向于分享人类快节奏的时间观念。尽管如此，由于平均寿命可以达到250岁，他们往往会觉得不需要那样赶着去做大部分的事情。看起来他们都想要保持一种相当积极的态度来生活，而且很多半精灵也被流浪冒险的生活所吸引。他们中的很多人都觉得个人身份是来自人类和精灵的生活，而不论因为什么情况呆在家里，哪怕因此也受到了别的欢迎方式的生活都不能完全地为他们带来荣耀。<br>在看待问题的两种不同的方式上设法取中间路线，既含有对自然和生命深深的尊重，又有着一般人类想要建设与改造世界和在一个更频繁的基础上与其他人相互作用的想法。<br>在信仰的问题上，半精灵可能会信仰人类或精灵的神祉；虽然半精灵所处的社会常常会成为这个问题的决定因素，但他们在选择上并没有什么特殊的偏好。<br>大多数的人们对半精灵的看法都是依据人类和精灵结合后的第一代后代产生的；然而，半精灵是有生殖能力的，并且可以和其他人类、精灵或半精灵生育后代。第二代或是之后的数代将会拥有更多的在血统中占主导地位的种族的特征。对于其他一些正常人来说，在某些时候发现自己有超过几十英尺范围的视野、有点尖的耳朵或者是轻盈的体态，都不是什么不得了的事情，这不过是提醒他们曾经有个精灵祖先罢了。同样的，也会有精灵比同类要强壮许多，或是对睡眠和附魔系法术的抵抗力有所减弱，再或者是有更高大的体形，这些都是从他们人类祖先那里继承来的。这样也许还是AD&D规则中的相关规定更适合半精灵这么多变化不定特质，也能更好地反映那些遗传学上无法预测的性状和相关的遗传方式。<br>有趣的是，要注意到人类显然不是唯一可以与精灵混血的种族。显而易见，高半身人（Tallfellow Halflings）具有明显的与其近邻精灵的相似之处，自从半身人在许多方面和人类走的很近以来，这就显得很自然了。实际上半精灵和其他种族的混合则充满了未知。精灵和兽人则完全不可能婚配，而有趣的是他们却都可以和人类交配。<br><br><br><br>原文：（有翻译错误还请指正）<br>Half-elves, the children of human-elf unions, are not in themselves a true race. Such individuals are found throughout human and elven societies, though not in any great numbers.<br>In appearance half-elves, male and female, tend to stand apart from their contemporaries of either race. They are larger than elves and smaller than humans, with the coordination and mental sharpness of the former and the physical might and toughness of the latter. Their facial features (ears in particular) tend to carry a strong elvish influence, though hair color, skin color and texture, and eye color are largely derived from the human parent.<br>Despite these differences, most halfelves see themselves as gifted and not “strange.” They are proud of their heritage and their abilities, and are widely accepted in most societies. If there were ever people who could make a claim to having the best of two worlds, half-elves would be the ones.<br>Even the inner nature of the half-elves shows a confluence of human and elven elements. A strong love of natural beauty and the outdoors is usually picked up from the elven parent, along with a strong hint of chaotic variability. Whereas elves are by comparison rather clannish and avoid contact with non-elven races, halfelves are very outgoing and make friends easily, perhaps a result of mixing the affinity elves feel for all living creatures with the adaptability of humans.<br>Half-elves appear very versatile, and manage to fit into a fairly wide range of social environments. They have a wider range of possible character classes and class combinations than any other race or being. Because they possess souls, half-elves may become normal clerics and druids; although the former class offers a rather limited career, as druids half-elves may achieve great power and influence. It would appear that half-elves have not as much capability for (or love of) magic as either humans or elves have, but they may reach reasonable levels of skill nonetheless. Their druid-like abilities also help make half-elves good at operating in the ranger and bard classes.<br>The most profitable career that some half-elves may turn to is, of course, thieving, in which they are marginally better overall than even humans. Half-elves seem to be exceptionally good at picking pockets; some believe this is because they present such a friendly appearance that people don’t mind having them near, and some say it is a function of their exceptional curiosity.<br>Evil half-elves make very good assassins, being able to pass through elven or human society and disguise themselves as members of either race. Only humans and half-orcs have enough taste for such a career so as to do better at assassinstyle killing than half-elves.<br>Though long-lived, half-elves are not extraordinarily so. They tend to share the faster-paced human view of time than the all-the-time-in-the-world elven view. Still, with an average lifespan of 250 years, they tend to feel that they need not rush to do most things. They do seem to try to keep fairly active, and many half-elves are drawn to a vagabond, adventuring sort of life. Perhaps many of them feel some degree of separateness from the lives of humans and elves, not completely at home in either case even if otherwise welcome. Individually, half-elves are quite varied in personality. Some have more elven traits than human and others vice versa.<br>A few manage to achieve a reasonable balance between the two ways of seeing things, mixing a deep respect for nature and life with the generally human desire to build and alter the environment, and interact with other peoples on a more frequent basis.<br>In religious matters, half-elves may adopt either human or elven deities; there doesn’t seem to be any particular preference in either direction, though the society in which the half-elf was raised is usually the determining factor.<br>Most people think of half-elves only in terms of those who are the first-generation descendants of humans and elves; yet, such half-elves are fertile, and may have children by other humans, elves, or half-elves. Second-generation and further descendants will possess more of the characteristics of whichever bloodline is predominant. It is not unusual for otherwise normal humans on rare occasion to have infravision out to a range of several tens of feet, or pointed ears, or a light build, to remind them of an elven ancestor; in a similar manner, there are elves who may be stronger than normal, or have reduced resistance to sleep and charm spells, or a broader build, passed on by a human ancestor. It might have been more appropriate in the AD&D™ rules for half-elves to have had such variable qualities, to better reflect the unpredictability of genetics and heredity.<br>It is interesting to note that humans are apparently not the only beings that elves can intermix with. Tallfellow Halflings bear distinct resemblances to their elven neighbors, for good reason. Since halflings are closely related to humans in many respects, this is not surprising. Half-elves of other racial mixtures are virtually unknown. Elves and orcs cannot interbreed, which is interesting since both races can breed with humanity. 正在认真思考,某个黑暗精灵和人类男子能生(如果能的话)出什么`````<br>皮肤是~<br>是斑马纹呢~<br>还是斑点狗花纹呢~<br>还是苏格兰奶牛型呢~<br>还是金钱豹图案呢~<br><br>发色一定是,一半黑,一半白,库伊拉型的````<br><br>嗯嗯~ <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><i>最初由 susefer 发布</i><br><b>正在认真思考,某个黑暗精灵和人类男子能生(如果能的话)出什么`````<br>皮肤是~<br>是斑马纹呢~<br>还是斑点狗花纹呢~<br>还是苏格兰奶牛型呢~<br>还是金钱豹图案呢~<br><br>发色一定是,一半黑,一半白,库伊拉型的````<br><br>嗯嗯~ </b><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br>不愧是susefer<br>典型的恶搞式思维。页:
