　就如马克默（译注：美国著名说唱歌手）所说，死神总是突然降临，我们却认为死神不会眷顾自己。这对觉醒者来说尤其如此，他们强大的洞察和神般的力量让其比我们绝大多数更接近死亡奥秘。无论他是否曾在黑暗小巷面对一个赛博格——或那个在小巷的赛博格正面临更糟的事——法师都对生死相当敏锐。当暴力爆发，其影响也一如既往地无法忽视。

　As Macklemore says, we live on the cusp of death, thinking it won’t be us. That’s especially true for the Awakened, whose intense insights and godlike powers bring them closer than most of us to the mysteries of their mortality. Whether or not he ever faces down a cyborg in a dark alley – or is that cyborg in the alley, facing something worse – a mage has a keen sense of life and death. When violence erupts, as it all too often does, its effects can’t be ignored.

　游戏中，战斗常变成夹杂检查规则和争论的投骰比赛。为保持行动连续性和戏剧性，要着重强调描述而非机制。渲染英雄眼中的汗珠、跳弹的呼啸和子弹击中后飞溅、散落房间的石膏碎片。下面详述的许多选项让你有更多事可做，而非投另1次攻击，然后听到“你击中了”或“你没击中”。在你编年史的世界里，你的法师能躲在汽车后、把灰扔到某人脸上、用瓶子砸某个混蛋的头，或让他撞在墙上，而整个战斗无需打一拳。

　In games, combats have a tendency to devolve into die-rolling matches punctuated with rules checks and arguments. To keep the action moving and the drama high, emphasize descriptions over mechanics. Play up the sweat in a hero’s eyes, the whine of ricochets, and the flying chips of plaster thrown around the room by a hail of bullets. The many options detailed below give you something more to do than make yet another attack roll and hear either “You hit” or “You miss.” Within the world of your chronicle, your mage can duck behind cars, throw ashes into someone’s face, bust a bottle over some asshole’s head, or reroute him into a wall without a single punch being thrown on your end of the fight.

准备开打

　以下部分将暴力分为几类：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Ready to Rumble

　The following section breaks violence down into several categories:

• 魔法与暴力解决了个永恒问题：“若你发射了枚理应尚未被发明的等离子干扰炮，或割开某人喉咙打开了地狱大门时，会发生什么？”

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Magick and Violence addresses that eternal question: “What happens if you fire a plasma disrupter cannon that supposedly hasn’t been invented yet or slash somebody’s throat to open a gate to Hell?”

• 远程战斗包括远程攻击手段：枪、箭、投掷物等。角色不用魔法远程战斗，需能看到对方。你往往无法命中真看不到的东西。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Ranged Combat covers long-range assault techniques: guns, arrows, thrown objects, and so forth. To fight at a distance without magick, characters need to be able to see one another. You can’t often hit what you can’t really see.

• 近身搏斗含近距的个人格斗，含踢头和酒瓶砸脸。此类有几个分支涉及阴招、武术，和神秘的道之秘艺——空明的平和与杀戮技艺。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Close Combat deals with the up close and personal world of kicks to the head and beer bottles smashed across faces. Several subsections of that category deal with dirty fighting, martial arts, and the mystic Art of Do – the Akashic Way of peace and carnage.

• 魔法决斗介绍了些有关解决巫师纠纷的指导，包括臭名昭著的斗法秘艺。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Magickal Duels presents some guidelines for resolving wizardly disputes, including the infamous art of certámen.

• 环境危害介绍了许多其它的死亡方式：摔死、烧死、毒死等。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Environmental Hazards features many other ways to die: falls, fire, poison, and so on.

• 战斗系统表能找到调整值、武器和技巧的基本信息。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Combat System Charts, where the essential information for modifiers, weapons, and maneuvers can be found.

战斗顺序

　无论你的角色面临多大混乱，战斗都如本章开头所述，在动作回合中进行。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Order of Battle

　Whatever mayhem your characters face, combat plays out in action turns, as described at the beginning of this chapter.

　所有玩家投自己的先攻看谁在何时行动，然后逐轮处理这些动作。从此每个战斗回合分为3阶段：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　All players roll their initiative to see who acts when, and then handle those actions on a turn-by-turn basis. From that point, each combat turn gets divided into three phases:

• 攻击，当你看到攻击是否命中目标；

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Attack, when you see whether or not attacks hit their targets;

• 防御，当你看到防御者是否躲开了攻击，以及…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Defense, when you see whether or not a defender has avoided an attack; and…

• 伤害，当你决定战斗者受了多重的伤。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Damage, when you determine how badly the combatants get hurt.

　战斗回合常持续游戏世界时间里的3秒左右。然而对觉醒者来说，时间就是战神手里的玩具。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Combat turns typically last about three seconds in game-world time. For the Awakened, however, time is a toy in the hands of brawling gods.

先攻

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Initiative

　如本章开头的先攻与移动所详述的那样，当敌对行动开始时，每个参与的玩家都要投先攻。先攻最高的最先，低的随后。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As hostilities begin, each player involved makes an initiative roll, as detailed under Initiative and Movement at the beginning of this chapter. The highest initiatives go first, with the lower ones following behind them.

[Lord Ex]

阶段1：攻击

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Phase One: Attack

　当枪械开火，法术释放，你能用的骰池，取决于你的角色在那回合里正做什么：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When guns fire and spells fly, the dice pool you employ depends upon what your character is doing that turn:

• 用射弹枪的攻击，投敏捷+枪械；超科技枪，敏捷+能量武器。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• For attacks using projectile guns, roll Dexterity + Firearms; for hypertech force guns, Dexterity + Energy Weapons.

• 用投掷武器的攻击，用敏捷+运动。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• For attacks with thrown weapons, use Dexterity + Athletics.

• 用手持武器的攻击，用敏捷+白刃。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• For attacks using hand-held weapons, employ Dexterity + Melee.

• 绝大多数用拳、爪、体重等的徒手攻击，投敏捷+肉搏（少数用敏捷+运动、武术、道等代替，但我们会后面深入）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• For most hand-to-hand attacks that use fists, claws, body weight, and so forth, roll Dexterity + Brawl. (A handful of attacks employ Dexterity + Athletics, Martial Arts, Do, and so forth instead, but we’ll get into that later.)

• 基于魔法的攻击，投魔峰/启蒙特质。若这些攻击涉及击打或武器，需命中目标（如拳击、等离子炮等），则根据攻击，投敏捷+肉搏、枪械或能量武器。关于具体难度和结果，请看后面描述的各种战斗技巧。武器、战斗情况、危机和战斗技巧，总结在从（第445页）开始的战斗系统表。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• For attacks based in magick, roll your Arete/ Enlightenment Trait. If those attacks involve a strike or weapon that needs to hit the target (like a punch, plasma cannon, and so forth), roll Dexterity + either Brawl, Firearms, or Energy Weapons, depending on the attack. For the specific difficulties and results involved, see the various combat maneuvers described below. Weapons, combat circumstances, hazards, and fighting maneuvers are summarized on the Combat System Charts, starting on (p. 445).

阶段2：防御

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Phase Two: Defense

　不想被攻击命中的角色有几种选择，详情见下。这些防御技巧是用你投出的成功减去对手投的（请看第八章的对抗动作）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A character who doesn’t want to get hit with an attack has several options, all detailed below. These defensive maneuvers use the successes you roll to take away from the successes rolled by your opponent. (See Resisted Actions in Chapter Eight.)

　现在，没自尊的人想被打。这就是你投攻击来击打其他角色的原因。然而1个防御技巧表明1个角色正做额外努力来避免受伤。你能在自己回合的任何时候宣布1个防御技巧——只要你的角色在该回合还剩1动作来执行。若你在该回合已宣布1不同动作，叙事人可让你投意志点（难度6），或花1意志点，来在战斗中改变你角色的想法。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Now, no self-respecting person wants to get hit. That’s why you roll attack rolls to strike other characters. A defensive maneuver, however, represents a character who’s making an extra effort to avoid injury. You can declare a defensive maneuver at any point in your turn, so long as your character has an action left to perform that turn. If you had already declared a different action for that turn, the Storyteller may have you make a Willpower roll (difficulty 6), or else spend a Willpower point in order to change your character’s mind in the blur of combat.

　你能执行1个闪躲，格挡或招架，将其作为攻击的一部分——例如，招架一把剑，然后把你的剑滑到对手的上面；或在角落里闪躲，然后从掩体后射击你的敌人。每种情况下你都需如第八章所述那样，分割骰池，另一方面，极度防御反映了全力以赴的逃跑。一个角色在那回合不能做任何其它事。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　You can perform a dodge, block, or parry as part of an attack – parrying a sword and then sliding your blade up your opponent’s own, for example, or dodging around a corner and then taking a shot at your enemies from behind cover. In each case, you need to divide your dice pool, as mentioned in Chapter Eight. A desperate defense, on the other hand, reflects all-out escape. A character can’t do anything else that turn.

闪躲

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Dodging

　为了让你的角色东摇西摆地免受伤害，请成功投敏捷+运动。难度取决于攻击本质，和闪躲角色在闪躲中想覆盖的距离。躲避徒手攻击很简单（难度5），但躲开近距枪械要有挑战性地多（难度9或10）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To have your character bob and weave herself out of harm’s way, make a successful Dexterity + Athletics roll. The difficulty depends upon the nature of the attack and the distance that the dodging character wants to cover during that dodge. Dodging a hand-to-hand strike is easy (difficulty 5), but dodging firearms at close range is far more challenging (difficulty 9 or 10).

　此骰上的每个成功减去攻击者骰的1成功；因此，闪躲角色需投出至少和攻击者起初发动时一样多的成功，来躲开击打。闪躲需一定空间来移动。若你在狭窄门口，就相当难。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Each success on this roll subtracts one success from the attacker’s roll; thus, the dodging character needs to roll at least as many successes to avoid that blow as the attacker rolled to inflict it in the first place. Dodging requires a certain amount of room to move. If you’re in a tight doorway, it’s pretty hard to dodge.

　若你角色既有杂技特质和如此移动的足够空间，那么可用杂技代替运动来进行闪躲尝试。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If your character has both the Acrobatics Trait and enough room to use such moves, you could use Acrobatics instead of Athletics for a dodge attempt.

　许多魔法攻击（火球、心灵摧残等）都能躲避——若目标看见其来袭。详见第十章第544-545页的闪躲与抵抗。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Many mystic attacks (fireballs, mind-crushes, etc.) can be dodged if the target sees them coming. For details, see Dodging and Resistance in Chapter Ten (pp. 544-545).

格挡

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Block

　要用一个身体部分抵挡击打，需投敏捷+肉搏。难度取决于攻击，但常在6（拳）到8（桌子）间。同闪躲，防御者投出的每个成功，减去攻击者意图的1成功。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To use a body part to deflect a blow, roll Dexterity + Brawl. The difficulty depends upon the attack but often ranges between 6 (for a fist) and 8 (a table). Like dodging, each success scored by the defender removes one success from the attacker’s attempt.

　一般只有徒手攻击能格挡。一个武术家可能投敏捷+武术（难度8），来格挡来袭长矛、其它投掷物品或弓箭，但绝大多数人在这方面很糟糕。普通人（如法师）除非穿护甲、用生命魔法强化皮肤，或用武术/道反应专门的战斗训练，否则无法格挡如剑、爪等致命或恶性伤害。即便如此，某些攻击——如链锯——无法不失去手臂而真正格挡。有关试图格挡致命伤害武器的结果，请看下面的弹反攻击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Normally, only hand-to-hand attacks can be blocked. A martial artist might try to block incoming spears, other thrown objects, or arrows with a Dexterity + Martial Arts roll (difficulty 8), but most folks are pretty much screwed in that department. Normal humans (like mages) cannot block lethal or aggravated damage attacks like swords, claws, and so on unless the character in question is wearing armor, using Life magick to harden his skin, or employing either Martial Arts or Do to reflect specialized combat training. Even then, certain attacks – like chainsaws – can’t really be blocked without losing an arm in the process. For the results of trying to block a lethal damage weapon, see Rebound Attacks, below.

招架和弹反攻击

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Parrying and Rebound Attacks

　当用武器格挡来袭攻击，投敏捷+白刃。在其它方面，招架运作似格挡。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When using a weapon to block an incoming attack, roll Dexterity + Melee. In other regards, a parry works like a block.

　弹反攻击：若攻击者用了被招架格挡的肉搏攻击（如，被刀格挡的拳击），那么他可能伤到自己。为反映这种窘境，若防御者格挡攻击的成功超过对手攻击他时的，那么他投次弹反攻击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Rebound Attack: If the attacker uses a brawl attack that gets blocked by a parry (like, say, a punch blocked by a knife), then the attacker probably hurts herself. To reflect that predicament, have the defender roll a rebound attack if the successes he rolled to block the attack outnumber the successes his opponent rolled while attacking him.

　弹反攻击用典型的敏捷+白刃。但格挡的角色可用满骰池，因为他并非真在攻击敌人。若成功，弹反攻击得到通常的伤害量… 然后，每个超过攻击者成功的成功，再加1成功（例如，1次比必要成功还多2成功的招架，能给弹反攻击加2成功）。这个故事告诉我们：不要试图去踢那些手拿链锯的人。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A rebound attack uses a typical Dexterity + Melee roll. The character who was blocking gets to use his full dice pool, though, as he wasn’t actually attacking his opponent. If successful, this rebound attack scores the usual amount of damage… and then adds one more success for each success that outnumbered the attacker’s roll. (A parry that scores two successes more than necessary, for example, would add two more successes to that rebound attack.) The moral of this story: don’t try to kick someone who’s got a chainsaw in his hands.

极度防御

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Desperate Defense

　若你只想躲开一切，你能让角色执行次极度防御。他在这种情况下会竭尽全力免受伤害——就像上文所述，他在那回合也不能做其它事。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If all you want is to get the hell outta Dodge, you can have your character perform a desperate defense. In this case, he’s putting everything he’s got into getting away from harm – as noted earlier, he can’t do anything else that turn.

　极度防御要投角色敏捷+运动；一样，若他有杂技和使用其的足够空间，你能用它代替运动。你的角色能用满骰池应对首次攻击，但同回合里以后的每次攻击中，都得减去1骰，因为逃开几次攻击比单次更难。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　For a desperate defense, roll your character’s Dexterity + Athletics; again, if he’s got Acrobatics and enough room to employ them, you can use that Trait instead. Your character gets to use his full dice pool against the first attack, but he must subtract one die from each subsequent attack that turn because it’s harder to escape several attacks than it is to duck a single assault.

反制魔法

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Countermagick

　反制魔法本质是魔法闪躲，用魔峰解除敌对法师的攻击。详见第十章第545-546页的反制魔法。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Essentially a mystic dodge, countermagick uses Arete to undo a rival mage’s attacks. For more details, see Countermagick in Chapter Ten (p. 545-546).

阶段3：伤害

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Phase Three: Damage

　若攻击命中目标，就该计算其伤势多重。攻击的玩家投骰池，难度6，每个成功造成1健康等级伤害。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If and when an attack hits the target, it’s time to figure out how badly that target gets hurt. The attacking player rolls her dice pool against difficulty 6, and each success inflicts one health level’s worth of damage.

　很成功的攻击造成更多伤害。攻击骰上第1个成功之后的每个成功，能再加1骰到伤害骰里（攻击骰的3成功，能再加2骰到伤害骰，以此类推）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Especially successful attacks inflict more damage. For each success above the first one that the player scores on her attack roll, she adds one more die to the damage dice pool. (Three successes on the attack roll would add two more dice to the damage roll, and so on.)

　但记住，闪躲和格挡会减去成功；角色在攻击骰上投出5成功，但被闪躲拿走3成功，只造成2成功、而非5成功的伤害（额外多1骰）——尽管她仍命中了对手。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Remember, though, that dodges and blocks subtract successes; a character who rolls five successes on an attack roll but has three taken away by a dodge inflicts the damage from only two successes (one extra die), not from five, even though she still hits her opponent.

伤害种类

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Types of Damage

　正如之前在健康与伤势中所指出的，攻击造成3种伤害之一：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As noted earlier under Health and Injury, attacks inflict one of three types of damage:

• 冲击伤害来自钝器创伤：拳头、棍棒、桌腿等。凡人能以耐力特质吸收冲击伤害（见下）。人物卡上，冲击伤害以1个斜线（/）、而非X来标记。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Bashing damage comes from blunt force trauma: fists, clubs, table legs, etc. A person can soak bashing damage (see below) with his Stamina Trait. On a character sheet, bashing damage gets marked with a single slash (/) rather than an X.

• 致命伤害反应致命创伤。凡人——含法师——除非穿护甲，否则不能吸收致命伤害… 这令其致命。人物卡上用X表示这种伤害。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Lethal damage reflects deadly trauma. Unless they’re wearing armor, people – mages included – cannot soak lethal damage… which is what makes it lethal. Indicate this form of damage on your character sheet with an X.

• 恶性伤害代表最可怕的死法。法师无法不用魔法或某些护甲来吸收。人物卡上用星号（*）表示它。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Aggravated damage represents the most awful ways to die. Mages cannot soak it without magick or certain types of armor. Indicate aggravated damage with an asterisk (*) on your character sheet.

　一样，有关这3种伤害，和从其影响中恢复的细节，请看健康与伤势部分（第406-409页）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Again, for details about these three types of damage, and the process of recovering from their effects, see the Health and Injury section (pp. 406-409).

增加伤害

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Adding Damage Up

　伤痛会增加。若一个角色在轻伤外又受重伤，那么除非他设法治疗，否则会很快逝去。所以当你在角色的健康槽上记下伤害时，最危险的伤害种类要在顶部。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Pain adds up. A character who takes severe damage on top of minor injuries winds up getting depleted quickly unless he manages to recover. So when you’re noting damage down on your character’s Health chart, the most dangerous types of damage go on top of that chart.

　记录冲击伤害时，在健康槽顶部画个斜线；若受到致命伤害，在/上画条线穿过，将其变成X。若你之后还受恶性伤害，在X上再画条线穿过，将其变成星号。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When recording bashing damage, put a slash at the top of the Health chart; if you take lethal damage, then turn that / into an X by writing another line through it. If you take aggravated damage after that, then put another line through the X, turning it into an asterisk.

　根据其它黑暗世界书籍中介绍的规则，这些标记是累积的。若你在健康槽顶部加了个X或星号，那么你会在标记下面的空格再加另1个/。然而与血族和狼人不同，法师通常无法从伤势中恢复，所以2或3次击打能让法师无法行动——除非他运气极好。因此，将其看作叙事人的判断。你的团可选择保持标记——如有需要，把斜线变成X或星号，但中途也别在空格加新斜线。考虑到受伤罚值和伤势有关（一样，请看健康与伤势），这对战斗中的法师是合理选项。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　According to the rules presented in other World of Darkness books, those marks are cumulative; if you add that X or asterisk to the top of your Health chart, then you’d add another / to the empty square underneath the marked ones. Unlike vampires and werewolves, however, mages don’t usually regenerate their injuries, and so two or three blows can take a mage out of action unless he’s incredibly fortunate. Therefore, consider it a Storyteller’s judgment call. Your troupe may elect to simply keep the marks as they are – turning slashes into Xs or asterisks if need be but not also adding new slashes to the empty boxes on the track. Considering the wound penalties associated with injuries (again, see Health and Injury), that’s a reasonable option for mages in combat.

吸收伤害

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Soaking Damage

　生命很艰难，但活物也能非常坚韧。游戏中受到伤害的角色，能在因伤势失去健康等级前，尝试吸收它们。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Life’s tough, but living things can be pretty tough too. In game terms, characters who take damage can try to soak it before subtracting health levels from those injuries.

　为吸收伤害，投角色耐力，难度依伤害定：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To soak damage, roll your character’s Stamina against a difficulty determined by the damage:

• 冲击伤害能被任何角色吸收，难度6。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Bashing damage can be soaked by any character at difficulty 6.

• 人类通常无法吸收致命伤害，但特别坚韧的可尝试（请看附近边栏的特效伤害选项）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Humans can’t normally soak lethal damage, although exceptionally tough ones may try. (See the Cinematic Damage option in the sidebar nearby.)

• 恶性伤害对人类（或其它绝大多数生物）太过严重，以至根本无法吸收。抵御此类攻击需超自然防护或重型护甲。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Aggravated damage is too severe for humans (or most other creatures) to soak at all. Standing up to such attacks requires paranormal protection or heavy-duty armor.

　吸收骰的每个成功减少1健康等级伤害。若吸收骰移除了对角色的所有成功，那么他无伤地承受攻击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Each success on a soak roll reduces the damage by one health level. If the soak roll eliminates all of the successes scored against a character, then that character takes the hit without getting hurt at all.

　示例：斯派德尔·蔡丝和即将成为她前男友的人发生了争执。他为了表现得男子汉点，掌掴了她，造成2健康等级冲击伤害。蔡丝投3骰，因其耐力是3；她获2成功，斯派德尔瞪着小男友，因为他的殴打没效果。她抓起只钉靴，继续猛击那个所谓的小男友。她也造成了冲击伤害，但他的吸收骰并没那么走运…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Examples: Spider Chase gets in an argument with her soon-to-be ex-boy-toy. Striving to appear manly, he slaps her for two health levels’ worth of bashing damage. Spider’s player rolls three dice, based on Spider’s Stamina 3; she gets two successes, and Spider glares at the boy-toy as his blow has no effect. Grabbing up a big spiked boot, she proceeds to whale on said boy-toy. She, too, inflicts bashing damage, but he’s not nearly as lucky with his soak rolls…

　之后，斯派德尔在一次严重得多的打斗中，被一个拿刀的壮汉砍伤。通常来说她无法吸收那种伤——刀造成的是致命伤。但叙事人决定，其耐力3强壮到足以使用特效伤害选项。刀造成5健康等级伤害——3来自攻击，2来自攻击者成功。斯派德尔在吸收尝试上投出3成功，移除这5成功中的3个。对她是好事，对壮汉是坏事！

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Later, in a far more serious brawl, Spider gets cut by a tough guy with a knife. Normally, she won’t be able to soak that wound – coming from a knife blade, it’s lethal. The Storyteller, though, decides that Spider’s Stamina 3 makes her tough enough to use the Cinematic Damage option. The knife inflicts five health levels in damage – three from the attack, plus two more for the assailant’s successes. Spider rolls three successes on her soak attempt, eliminating three of those five successes. Good thing for her, bad thing for the tough guy!

　斯派德尔喜欢做火焰特技，但被火焰攻击就太过了。她面对一些手持火焰剑的怪人，躲开了攻击，但最终落入燃烧残骸中。火焰烧伤了她，造成2健康等级恶性伤害。这次她没有吸收骰了。她失去了2健康等级，因为火焰表明即使火舞者也有局限。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Spider enjoys spinning fire; being SET ON fire, though, is a bit much. Facing off against some weirdo with a flaming sword, she ducks the blow but winds up falling into burning wreckage. The fire burns her for two health levels of aggravated damage. No soak roll for Spider this time. She takes both health levels as the fire shows that even fire-dancers have their limits.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

可选规则：特效伤害

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Optional Rule: Cinematic Damage

　法师能相当滥强——若他们是武术家、佣兵、条子、圣殿骑士、黑衣人等时，尤其如此。而在电影里，强者能恢复枪伤、烧伤和其它在现实里，会让他们进医院或太平间的伤势。因此，特效伤害选项给了这类人空间。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Mages can be unusually badass, especially if they’re martial artists, mercenaries, cops, Templars, Black Suits, and so on. And in the movies, badass people manage to shrug off gunshot wounds, burns, and other things that would, in real life, send them to the hospital or morgue. Therefore, the Cinematic Damage option makes an allowance for such people.

　在这个可选规则下，人类角色能以难度8的吸收骰吸收致命伤害。这不意味着子弹会从角色的胸口上弹开，而是产生一般的肉伤，并非撕裂的伤口和骨头碎裂。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Under this optional rule, human characters may soak lethal damage with a soak roll at difficulty 8. This doesn’t mean that bullets bounce off the character’s chest but that the damage comes across as the proverbial flesh wound, rather than as gaping cuts and shattered bones.

　说书人能依你编年史的基调，将此能力限制在有耐力3+特质的角色上；如此你便不会让奶奶吸收霰弹枪枪伤，而是让强壮术士直面拿弹簧刀的家伙。即便如此，对法师有利的也是对凡人有利的。若你的团选择用特效伤害选项，那么一切合适的人类角色都应拥有它——不只是玩家角色（关于另一选项，请看第644页的附录二的壮到死不了优点）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Depending on the tone of your chronicle, the Storyteller may restrict this ability to characters with a Stamina Trait of 3 or higher; that way, you don’t have grandmas soaking shotgun blasts, but tough sorcerers can stand up to a dude with a switchblade. Even so, what’s good for the mage is good for the mortal. If your group chooses to employ the Cinematic Damage option, then all suitable human characters should get it – not just player characters. (For an additional option, see the Too Tough to Die Merit in Appendix II, p. 644.)

　但无论耐力，此选项也不能让法师吸收恶性伤害。他除非用破则魔法或某些护甲，否则无法吸收——对。这也是它为何叫恶性——因为它和一个愤怒狼人的利爪一样极其致命。

　Regardless of Stamina, this option does not allow mages to soak aggravated damage. Unless vulgar magick or certain types of armor are involved, mages cannot soak agg damage, period. That’s why it’s called aggravated – because it’s as scarily fatal as an angry werewolf’s claws.

魔法与暴力

Magick and Violence

　法师除普通的拳脚和烟火外，还能用秘艺增强战斗技能。下面的章节将探讨“丢火球烧死他们”的显眼做法。但觉醒者能更微妙，如制造巧合，加强击打或枪击的效果；让墙体掉落到敌人身上；掀起尘埃风暴，掩护撤离或令敌人失明；清空攻击者的弹夹（“哇，我猜你还没清点你的子弹，伙计…”）；或使用其它任何法师能想到或施展的选择。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Beyond the usual fisticuffs and fireworks, a mage can use her Arts to enhance her combat abilities. The obvious “toss a fireball and burn them up” avenue gets explored in the following chapter. On a more subtle level, though, the Awakened can plant coincidences that intensify the effects of a kick or gunshot; drop walls on top of their enemies; whip up storms of dust that cover an escape or blind an enemy; empty an attacker’s ammunition clip (“Gee, I guess you hadn’t counted your shots, dude…”); or employ any other option a mage could imagine and perform.

　除此类把戏外，现实中大量法师还以武器、机械和武术技巧来聚焦秘艺。一个巴塔阿法师能用卡波耶拉（译注：一种16世纪时由巴西的非裔移民所发展出，介于艺术与武术之间的独特舞蹈）作为她力场、生命或时间攻击的法器。迭代法X以用其超科技传导毁灭性的力场领域效应而臭名昭著。一个空明兄弟能在一拳或一击背后，利用熵（侦测弱点）、力场（动能冲击）、生命（身体知识）和其它领域。战斗与暴力是许多魔法技法的重要部分——这解释了从咆哮的古北欧狂战士到权威特工拥有的威严灵光的一切。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Beyond such tricks, there’s the simple fact that plenty of mages focus their Arts through weapons, gadgets, and martial techniques. A Bata’a mage could use capoeira as her instrument for Forces, Life, or Time attacks. Iteration X is notorious for channeling devastating Forces Sphere Effects through their hypertech. An Akashic Brother can put Entropy (spotting weak points), Forces (kinetic impact), Life (body knowledge), and other Spheres to work behind a single punch or kick. Combat and violence are intrinsic parts of many mystic practices – which explains everything from howling Norse berserkers to the implacable aura held by agents of authority.

　第417页的魔法战术部分，为觉醒战士提供了几种可能。从更游戏的角度讲，魔法和暴力能以3种不同但相关的方式结合：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The Magickal Fighting Tactics section on p.417, features several possibilities for the Awakened warrior. In more general game terms, magick and violence can fit together in three different yet related ways:

暴力作焦点

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Violence as a Focus

　如第十章的焦点和秘艺部分所示，武器、力或武术都能为神秘或科技秘艺提供1个焦点。这种情况下，武器或活动提供了法术的“枪和板机”。法师开火、出拳、闪躲或采取任何必要动作来使用焦点。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Weapons, force, or martial arts can provide a focus for mystic or technological Arts, as shown in the Focus and the Arts section of Chapter Ten. In this case, the weapon or activity provides the “gun and trigger” of the spell. The mage fires a gun, throws a punch, makes a dodge, or takes whatever action is necessary to employ the focus.

　为反映此活动，玩家要投2次：1次魔峰（或启蒙），来看魔法是否成功，和1次适当的属性+技能，来看攻击是否命中目标。若魔法就是攻击，攻击提供魔法，那么游戏上这是1个动作——法师开枪，作为施展效应的动作，而且虽然投2次，只算1个动作。对很多法师。尤其是科技吏员来说，那个工具或动作能让角色做她该做的。一个黑衣人无法打响指来发射子弹——他需要枪来聚焦那攻击。没武器就没法术效应。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To reflect this activity, the player makes two rolls: an Arete (or Enlightenment) roll to see if the magick succeeds, and an appropriate Attribute + Ability roll to see if the attack hits its target. If the magick is the attack and the attack provides the magick, then in game terms, this is a single action – the mage is firing a gun as the act that casts the Effect, and although there are two rolls, it counts as only one action. For many willworkers, especially Technocrats, that tool or action allows the character to do what she does. A Man in Black cannot snap his fingers and fire bullets – he needs his gun to focus that attack. No weapon, no Effect.

• 若魔峰骰失败，无法术效应；拳击可能命中，但枪不会开火。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• If the Arete roll fails, then there’s no magickal Effect; a punch might land, but a gun will not fire.

• 若魔峰骰大失败，攻击出错，引发矛盾（请看第十章）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• If the Arete roll botches, then the attack goes wrong, and Paradox results. (See Chapter Ten.)

• 若魔峰骰成功，魔法按计划作用。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• If the Arete roll succeeds, then the magick works as planned.

　若攻击成功，效应在同回合内生效。不像前几版法师，若 效应通过该攻击聚焦，那么回合间无延迟。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Assuming the attack is successful, the Effect goes off within the same turn. Unlike in previous editions of Mage, there is no delay between turns if the Effect is focused through the attack in question.

　但绝大多数情况下，攻击仍需命中目标——拳击得打中、枪弹得射中敌人等。因此属性+技能骰决定攻击是否命中预定目标。若没有，子弹乱飞、拳击打偏等。魔法奏效，但攻击没有。X344号赛博格发射了等离子干扰炮，但视线中的女巫闪到了一边。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In most cases, however, that attack still needs to hit its target – the punch must land, the gunshot must nail the opponent, etc. Thus, the Attribute + Ability roll determines whether or not the attack hits its intended destination. If not, then the shot goes wild, the punch misses, and so on. The magick has worked, but the attack has not. Cyborg X344 fires his plasma disruptor cannon, but the witch in his sights ducks aside.

　但躲开的法术效应仍能破坏环境。这也是法师间的战斗常造成大量附带伤害的原因。关于此类伤害的细节，请看打烂东西（第439-441页）和环境危害部分。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Dodged magickal Effects can still demolish the environment, however. That’s why fights between mages tend to cause lots of collateral damage. For details about such damage, see Bustin’ Stuff (pp. 439-441) and the Environmental Hazards section.

　若1件武器被用作焦点法器，那么法术效应伤害反映武器伤害。有关魔法强化其伤害的攻击——也就是说，让剑爆发火焰——请看后面的魔法强化暴力。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If a weapon is being used as a focus instrument, then the damage from that magickal Effect reflects the damage of that weapon. For attacks in which the magick enhances the damage of an attack – say, by making the sword burst into flames – see Magick Enhances Violence, below.

　若敌人成功对1次攻击使用了反制魔法，那么那次攻击的魔法元素减弱或消失。即使如此，非魔法元素（拳头、子弹等）仍有伤害。详见第十章的反制魔法（第545-546页）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If an opponent successfully applies countermagick against an attack, then the magickal element of that attack lessens or disappears. Even so, the non-magickal element (the fist, the bullet, etc.) can still cause harm. For details, see Countermagick in Chapter Ten (pp. 545-546).

暴力强化魔法

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Violence Enhances Magick

　这种情况下，法师实施暴力行为，助力魔法行为：唤魔者刺死祭品、疯狂科学家激活末日装置、变形者割破狼的喉咙，以其血沐浴，将自己变成狼。行为仍提供焦点，但魔法跟随行为。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In this case, the mage commits an act of violence that assists an act of magick: the Infernalist stabs the sacrifice, the mad scientist activates the Doomsday Device, the shapechanger slashes the throat of a wolf and bathes herself in its blood in order to transform into a wolf herself. The act still provides a focus, but the magick follows the act.

　游戏上玩家照常投攻击。骰上的每个成功让随后魔峰骰难度-1，最大-3。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In game terms, the player rolls her attack normally. Each success on that roll lowers the difficulty of the subsequent Arete roll by -1, up to a maximum modifier of -3.

　除非魔法和行为都是1个活动（如用枪开火或出一拳），否则用于聚焦和强化魔法的攻击，需在施展法术前执行。若玩家想在同回合用攻击和魔法——比如，1个唤魔者想在献祭时打开大门——那么她得于其中分割骰池（详见第八章第388页的多重动作），或用时间3来在同回合获额外动作。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Unless the magick and the act involve a single activity (as in firing a gun or throwing a punch) an attack used to focus and enhance magick needs to be performed before that spell is cast. If the player wants to use both the attack and the magick in the same turn – say, an Infernalist who wants to open a gate at the moment of sacrifice – then she needs to either divide up her dice pool between them (as detailed under Multiple Actions in Chapter Eight, p. 388), or else use Time 3 to get extra actions within the same turn.

魔法强化暴力

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Magick Enhances Violence

　角色能在普通枪击、拳击或闪躲后投入点额外力量（或很多额外力量），强化其威力。这种情况下，玩家宣布她正做什么；花1动作施展效应；记下成功数；每个成功让攻击难度-1，最多-3。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　By throwing a little extra power (or a LOT of extra power) behind a normal gunshot, punch or dodge, the character can enhance its effectiveness. In this case, the player declares what she’s doing; takes an action to cast the Effect; notes the number of successes; and then reduces the difficulty of the attack itself by -1 for each success, up to a maximum modifier of -3 difficulty.

　只要强化看似是你不用魔法就能做到的，那么它总是巧合。若看似不可能，那么是破则。点燃汽车油箱的枪击？当然。爆发火焰的剑？不行。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　So long as the enhancement looks like something you could do without magick, this sort of thing is almost always coincidental. If it looks impossible, then it’s vulgar. A gunshot that ignites the car’s gas tank? Sure. A sword that bursts into flame? No.

　3种情况下，活动都能为效应提供焦点。你选择的选项取决于你的法师在做什么，和你希望以此达到什么目的。详见下一章的凡俗技能和魔法效应（第532-535页），以及焦点和秘艺和基于领域的魔法的各种能力。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In all three cases, the activity can provide the focus for the Effect. The option you choose depends on what your mage is doing and what you hope to accomplish by doing it. For more details, see Mundane Skills and Magickal Effects in the following chapter (pp. 532-535), plus Focus and the Arts and the various capabilities of Sphere-based magick.

战斗中快速施法

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Fast-Casting in a Fight

　很多时候，正在战斗的法师都是快速施法——也就是说，在那一刻飞快搞定。规则上，快速施法的角色的通常难度——包括战斗中1回合里任何施展效应的难度——+1。但涉及战斗前准备的仪式不受此快速施法的罚值（请看第503页的第十章魔法难度调整表）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In many cases, a mage in the heat of combat is fast-casting – that is, making stuff up in the heat of that moment. Rules-wise, a fast-casting character adds +1 to her usual difficulty, including the difficulty of any Effect cast in a single turn during a fight. Rituals that involve preparation before a fight, however, do not suffer this fast-casting penalty. (See the Magickal Difficulty Modifiers chart, Chapter Ten, p. 503.)

　此规则不适用于武术技法的法师（含空明之道），或用武器作焦点法器。此类法师被认为在融会贯通魔法、战斗以及两者的反应上都有训练和经验。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　This rule does not apply to mages who use the martial arts practice(including Do) or employ weapons as an instrument of focus. Such mages are assumed to have both training and experience with integrating magick, combat, and the reflexes involved in both.

Examples of Magickal Violence

　秘密特工约翰·库兰基对上了个血族。他的玩家布莱恩有几个选择：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Secret Agent John Courage goes up against a vampire. His player, Brian, has several options:

• 暴力作焦点：约翰·库兰基使用碎石拳击（一个生命3/物质3/熵1效应，用熵侦测弱点），好好利用了他的黑衣人训练。布莱恩宣布他以武术技法作焦点，投启蒙特质，投出4成功。然后投敏捷+武术骰池反映拳击本身。他投出2成功，所以约翰击中了血族。来自效应的伤害——这个情况下是8健康等级，生命领域令其恶性。德古拉伯爵，好好吸收它吧！

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Violence as a Focus: Employing the Stone-Shattering Fist Strike (a Life 3/ Matter 3/ Entropy 1 Effect that uses Entropy to spot weak spots), John Courage puts his Black Suit training to good use. Brian declares that he’s using the martial arts practice as a focus, rolls his Enlightenment Trait, and scores four successes. Then he rolls his Dexterity + Martial Arts dice pool to reflect the punch itself. He scores two successes, so John Courage hits the vampire. The damage comes from the Effect – in this case, eight health levels of damage, made aggravated by the Life Sphere. Soak THAT, Count Chocula!

• 暴力强化魔法：约翰·库兰基意识到他最强的武器是恐惧，而血族害怕火焰，因此冷酷地看着它，从自己的衣袋里取出一小瓶液体，倒在手套上，拿出打火机，把它点燃，然后手套也着火。他的双手灼烧，他瞪着血族——火焰在他的墨镜上闪耀——激活了可怕的黑衣人权威灵光。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Violence Enhances Magick: Realizing that his greatest weapon is fear, and that vampires fear fire, John Courage coolly eyes the vampire, removes a vial of fluid from his coat pocket, douses his gloves with it, takes out a lighter, flicks it to life, and then sets his gloves on fire. His hands burning, he glares at the vampire – flames glinting off his mirrorshades – and invokes the dreaded Black Suit Aura of Authority.

　布莱恩在1次成功的操控+胁迫骰后，有3成功加在他的巧合心灵效应“投降或死亡”。通常为5的施法骰难度降到了3（施法骰难度无法再低了），布莱恩投出了6成功，意志薄弱的血族崩溃地颤抖瘫倒。秘密特工约翰既没说一个词，也没打一拳，但他赢了。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　One successful Manipulation + Intimidation roll later, Brian has three successes to add to his coincidental Mind 2 Effect of “Surrender or die.” The casting roll difficulty, normally 5, drops to 3 (casting rolls cannot drop below difficulty 3), Brian scores six successes, and the weak-willed vampire collapses into a quivering heap. Secret Agent John Courage has neither said a word nor struck a blow, but victory is his.

• 魔法强化暴力：布莱恩为寻找血族防御的弱点，通过约翰墨镜上的稳定完整矩阵扫描仪，施展了1个巧合的熵1效应。这是巧合效应，所以布莱恩投约翰的启蒙，获3成功，约翰下一击的难度降了3。但他不抱侥幸心理，用了死亡击打技巧。约翰的敏捷+武术骰有6成功，由于降低的难度，意味着力量+2的致命伤害，外加来自额外成功的5骰子。这次发现、分析并利用了弱点。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Magick Enhancing Violence: Looking for a weakness in the vampire’s defense, Brian casts a coincidental Entropy 1 Effect through the Stability Integrity Matrix scanner built into John Courage’s mirrorshades. It’s a coincidental Effect, so Brian rolls John Courage’s Enlightenment, gets three successes, and lowers the difficulty of John Courage’s next blow by -3. Taking no chances, he employs a Death Strike maneuver. Courage’s Dexterity + Martial Arts roll scores six successes, thanks to the lowered difficulty, meaning Strength+2 in lethal damage, plus five more dice from those extra successes. Weakness found, analyzed, and utilized.

可选规则：整体行动骰

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Optional Rule: General Action Rolls

　当1个重要角色要面对一群无聊杂兵时，整体行动骰选项让你一举完成——本该花许多回合的投骰和查表来完成的——一系列动作。在此可选规则下，1或2次投骰概括动作，迅速推进剧情。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　For times when an important character faces off against a mass of uninspiring mooks, the general action roll option allows you to blow through a series of actions that would otherwise take many turns of die rolling and chart checking to complete. Under this optional rule, one or two die rolls summarize the action and let the plot move forward quickly.

　在整体行动骰情况下，叙事人决定合适骰池——常为敏捷+1战斗或体能动作技能——然后决定基本难度（见下表）。玩家投次对抗。叙事人采用一个骰池，反映敌对势力的技能，玩家和叙事人投骰，赢家通吃。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In a general action roll situation, the Storyteller decides upon an appropriate dice pool – typically Dexterity + a combat or physical action Ability – and then determines a base difficulty (see the chart below). The player makes a single resisted roll. The Storyteller picks up a handful of dice to reflect the abilities of the opposing forces, the player and his Storyteller roll off, and the winner takes it all.

难度	行动
7	简单（痛击杂兵）
8	挑战（近距交火）
9	困难（暴风雪中战斗）
10	近乎不可能（黑暗中同暗影恶魔战斗）

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Difficulty	Task
7	Easy (bashing through some mooks)
8	Challenging (firefight in close quarters)
9	Hard (fighting in a snowstorm)
10	Damn Near Impossible (battling shadow imps in the dark)

　若玩家在整体行动骰竞技中失败，那么假设他以非致命方式被击倒。他可能被锁在一个死亡陷阱或类似的东西上。虽然他会受到几级冲击伤害（或1/2级致命伤），但不会被糟糕投骰所杀。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If the player loses a general action roll contest, then assume that he’s knocked down and out in a non-fatal way. He’ll probably wind up chained to a death trap or something equally genre-appropriate, but though he may suffer a few levels of bashing damage (or a level or two of lethal damage), he won’t get killed by a bad die roll.

　示例：辛迪加执行者布鲁斯·福斯特，在发现自己被抢劫时感到很搞笑。4个穿着帮派服装的孩子靠近这个衣着光鲜的人，他们觉得找到了好抓的猎物。他们当然错了，当布鲁斯的玩家比尔用7骰时（敏捷3+肉搏4），他们会发现自己错得多离谱。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Example: Bruce Foster, Syndicate enforcer, is amused to find himself being mugged. Four kids in gang colors close in on the sharp-dressed man, thinking they’ve found easy prey. They’re wrong, of course, and as Bruce’s player Bill picks up seven dice (Dexterity 3 + Brawl 4) they’re about to find out just HOW wrong they are.

　因为是黑暗小巷里1对4，比尔的叙事人将难度设为8。考虑到歹徒都是生疏的孩子，她用4骰（敏捷2+肉搏2）来代表歹徒进行对抗骰。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Because it’s four to one in a dark alley, Bill’s Storyteller sets the difficulty at 8. Figuring that the muggers are unskilled kids, she picks out four dice (Dexterity 2 + Brawl 2) to represent the muggers for the resisted roll.

　比尔投出3成功；叙事人是1个。布鲁斯将4个流氓打得屁滚尿流，然后打正领带，用一个孩子的金属乐队T恤擦去手指上的血迹，扒了将要成为流氓的人的口袋来赔偿其带来的不便后，继续赶路。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Bill rolls three successes; the Storyteller rolls one. In the game world, Bruce beats the living crap out of the four punks, straightens his tie, wipes the blood off his knuckles with one kid’s Metallica T-shirt, and goes along his way after picking the would-be muggers’ pockets to compensate for the inconvenience.

　若比尔投出的成功比叙事人少，那布鲁斯会在小巷醒来，他的上好衣服被撕破，他的钱包空了，他的鼻子也因和几个流氓小但失败的争吵而流血了。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If Bill had rolled fewer successes than the Storyteller, then Bruce would have woken up in the alley, his good suit torn, his wallet gone, and his nose bloodied by a minor but failed altercation with a handful of punks.

杂兵延伸

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Mook-a-Palooza

　杂兵选项作为整体行动骰的替代方案，将任何无名无身份的角色——也就是说，邪教徒、帮派成员、僵尸等——的健康等级减少到4个：健康，轻伤 -1，重伤 -2，伤残 -5。这样玩家就能把杂兵当成磨砺，而不必把整个局面押在1或2次投骰的结果上。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As an alternate to the general action roll, the mook option reduces any characters without actual names or identities – that is, cultists, gang members, zombies, etc. – to four health levels: Healthy, Hurt -1, Wounded -2, and Crippled -5. This way, the players can make grinder fodder of the mooks in question without betting the entire situation on the results of one or two die rolls.

战术和情况

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Combat Tactics and Circumstances

　绝大多数战士都得在没魔法的情况下应付。但即使如此，种种战术和情况也能改变战斗因素——穿护甲、被打倒、盲打等。有关涉及的魔法系统，请看第十章；有关魔法在战斗的整体应用，请看前文的魔法与暴力。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Most fighters must get by without magick. Even then, though, various tactics and circumstances can change elements of combat – wearing armor, being knocked over, fighting blind, and so forth. For the magickal systems involved, see Chapter Ten; and for general applications of magick in combat, see Magick and Violence, above.

　游戏上，绝大多数情况都能用调整难度或骰池处理（你很少会同时做2个）。一些更普遍的偏战斗情况包括：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In game terms, most circumstances can be handled by either by raising or lowering either difficulties or dice pools. (You’ll rarely do both at the same time.) Some of the more common combat-oriented circumstances include:

中止动作

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Aborting an Action

　如上文阶段2：防御中提到的，只要你的角色有1个能用的动作，你就能让其中止计划动作，转而采取防御技巧。此类计划的突然改变，在数据上要投1次暂时意志点或意志点，难度6（你的叙事人对此要求有最终决定权）。脱离原有计划被认为是反射动作，详见第八章，其本身不算1个动作。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As mentioned above under Phase Two: Defense, you can have your character abort his planned action in favor of a defensive maneuver, so long as he has an action with which to act. Such abrupt changes of plan technically require either a temporary Willpower point or a Willpower roll, difficulty 6. (Your Storyteller has the final say about that requirement.) Ducking out of your original plans is considered a reflexive action, as described in Chapter Eight, and isn’t counted as an action in and of itself.

伏击

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Ambush

　攻击者出其不意地攻击，能让自己在对手前占上风。游戏上，攻击者投敏捷+潜行（+隐秘背景——如果有），对抗骰，对抗目标的感知+警觉。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Attacking from surprise, an assailant can get the upper hand on her opponent. In game terms, the attacker rolls Dexterity + Stealth (+ the Arcane Background, if she has it) in a resisted roll against her target’s Perception + Alertness.

　若攻击者获胜，那么她可在投先手前，先有次对抗敌人的攻击骰。若她在抵消了敌人成功后，还有成功，那么每个多的成功，能给攻击骰池加1骰。比如，李安给一个激情派欢喜宗恶棍带来了惊喜；若她的玩家投4成功，对欢喜宗的2，那么她的攻击池加2骰。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If the attacker wins, then she gets one attack roll against her opponent before any initiative rolls are made; if she’s got successes left over after canceling his successes out, then she can add one die to her attack dice pool for each success. Let’s say that Lee Ann surprises a rogue Acharne Cultist; if her player rolls four successes to the Cultist’s two, then she adds two more dice to her attack pool.

　平局下，攻方先出手，但守方能用防御技巧。若守方获胜，那么他在陷阱被触发前发现埋伏，双方投正常先手。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　On a tie, the attacker goes first but the defender can take a defensive maneuver. And if the defender wins, then he spots the ambush before the trap springs, and both parties roll their normal initiative.

　某些情况和角色能让伏击变得不可能。当你穿着动力装甲时，偷偷摸摸接近某人并不可行，且有些人（尤其时间大师）似乎不可能被惊到。终究还是叙事人对伏击的可能性有最终决定权… 当然这不意味着攻击者提前知道她的偷袭会失败。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Certain situations and characters make ambush impossible. Sneaking up on someone when you’re wearing power armor isn’t feasible, and some people (especially Time Masters) seem impossible to surprise. Ultimately, the Storyteller gets the final call regarding the potential of an ambush... which doesn’t mean, of course, that the attacker knows in advance that her assault will fail.

护甲与护盾

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Armor and Shields

　厚大衣、防弹衣、赛博护甲和其它保护方式能吸收攻击伤害。游戏上，护甲能加骰子到角色的吸收骰，让凡人能吸收致命伤害，以及某些恶性伤害——最可能是血族獠牙，但不会是火或生命领域魔法。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Thick coats, flack suits, cybernetic armor, and other methods of protection absorb the damage of an attack. In game terms, armor adds dice to a character’s soak roll and allows a human being to soak lethal damage as well as certain types of aggravated damage – a vampire’s fangs, most likely, but not fire, or Life Sphere magick.

　轻型护甲很容易戴着移动，基于物质的效应也能把西装或内衣变成布料重的护甲。但绝大多数种类的凡俗科技护甲就笨重了。某些护甲对穿戴者的敏捷骰池和穿戴或脱下时间有罚值。穿机车夹克仅需1个简单动作，但警用防暴衣需几分钟才能穿好。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Light armor is easy enough to move around in, and Matter-based Effects can turn business suits or lingerie into cloth-weight armor too. Most forms of normal-tech armor, though, get cumbersome. Certain types of armor inflict a penalty upon the wearer’s Dexterity-based dice pool and demand time to put on or take off. Slipping on a biker jacket takes a single easy action, but a cop donning riot gear needs several minutes to suit up properly.

　护盾：护盾同时还能做保护装备，面对敌人时可发挥作用。徒手战斗中，面对你护盾的敌人的命中你的难度+1或2，这取决于护盾大小。若它被用来抵御投射武器（瓶子、石头、子弹等），那么护盾也可做护甲，护盾每有1级，减少1击打成功。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Shields: Shields, meanwhile, act as protective gear that can be brought to bear when facing an enemy. An opponent who’s facing your shield in hand-to-hand combat adds +1 or +2 to his difficulty to hit you, depending on the size of the shield in question. If it’s being used to ward off projectile weapons (bottles, rocks, bullets, etc.), then a shield also acts as armor, reducing a blow by one success for every level in the shield’s Rating.

　虽然如此，但护盾也占用了一只手，限制了使用者的行动和潜在活动。格挡1次特定的来袭攻击（如一串子弹或一把挥舞火斧）可能需投次敏捷+白刃，和1个专注的护盾格挡动作。护盾也很重，它们暗示你在自找麻烦。在二十一世纪，除受防暴训练的警察（他们常在队列使用）和爱好重温中世纪的人外，你不会发现很多用护盾的人。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　That said, a shield occupies one hand, restricting the user’s movements and potential activities. Blocking a specific incoming attack (say a volley of bullets or a swung fire axe) may demand a Dexterity + Melee roll and a dedicated shield blocking action. Shields are heavy, too, and they suggest that you’re looking for trouble. Outside of riot-trained police (who often use them in formation) and medieval reenactment enthusiasts, you won’t find many people in the 21st century using shields.

　关于各种保护装备，请看战斗系统表（第447页）下的护甲与护盾表。

目盲、击倒、无法移动或击晕

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Blinded, Knocked Down, Immobilized, or Stunned

　普通战斗规则假定所有人都能或多或少地自由移动。但某些障碍会改变这些规则：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Normal combat rules assume that everyone’s able to move more or less freely. Certain handicaps, however, change those rules:

• 击倒：被击倒在地的人须花1动作重新站起。若他无法做到，则直到重新站起前，都将其视作暂时无法移动。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Knockdown: Someone who’s been knocked off his feet must take one action to scramble back up. If he can’t do so, consider him temporarily immobilized until he regains his feet.

• 目盲：被伤势或黑暗致盲的角色无法闪躲、招架或格挡来袭攻击。且直到能重新看见前，所有依赖视觉动作的难度也+2。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Blinding: A character who’s been blinded by injury or darkness cannot dodge, parry, or block incoming attacks. He also adds +2 to the difficulty of all visually dependent actions until he’s able to see again.

• 无法移动：当角色被按住、瘫痪或以其它方式变得无法移动时，若目标仍能移动下，其他攻击他的角色的难度-2；若完全无法移动，攻击者自动命中。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Immobilization: When a character gets held down, paralyzed, or otherwise rendered unable to move, any other character who attacks him reduces her difficulty by -2 if the target can still move around a bit, and the attacker may hit him automatically if he cannot move at all.

• 击晕：若角色——在吸收骰后——遭受的健康等级伤害等同或超过了耐力值，她会被击晕，直到下1回合结束。被击晕的角色除了可能在呆滞中蹒跚，无法做任何事。此时对她的攻击骰难度-2。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Stunning: If – after the soak roll – a character suffers health-level damage that equals or exceeds her Stamina rating, she’s stunned until the end of the following turn. The stunned character can’t do anything except perhaps stumble around in a daze. Attack rolls against her during that time reduce their difficulty by -2.

魔法战术

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Magickal Fighting Tactics

　鉴于法师所掌握的力量，他们为什么要把自己的性命押在区区凡人的武器和战术上？从闪电到粉碎光线到击碎人肋骨的一英寸拳头的一切，对有领域使用此类战术和有意志使用此类致命效应的战士来说，都是可能的。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Given the power they command, why should mages stake their survival on mere human weapons and tactics? Everything, from lightning bolts and disintegration beams to one-inch punches that shatter a person’s ribcage, is possible for fighters who have the Spheres to use such tactics and the Will to employ them with deadly effect.

• 聚焦魔法：若攻击用普通攻击——如拳击或死光炮——作焦点法器，那么攻击者需成功投次敏捷+相应战斗技能。魔峰骰决定魔法的成败，攻击骰决定是否命中目标。此类攻击如前文所述，可被躲开。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Focused Magick: If that attack uses a normal attack – like a punch or death-ray cannon – as a focus instrument, the attacker needs to make a successful Dexterity + appropriate combat Ability roll. An Arete roll decides the success or failure of the magick, and the attack roll determines whether or not it hit the target. Such attacks, as mentioned earlier, can be dodged.

• 公开魔法：若攻击本身就是魔法的——如闪电、燃烧手势、变形爆炸或纯粹仇恨撕裂血肉的诅咒——那么攻击者投魔峰作攻击骰来替代。此类攻击几乎总破则，对发起者和受害者都一样危险。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Openly Magickal: If the attack is itself magickal – like a lightning bolt, incendiary gesture, transformation blast, or flesh-shredding curse of pure hate – then the assailant rolls her Arete as an attack roll instead. Such attacks are almost always vulgar and can be as dangerous to their originators as to their victims.

• 间接攻击：若攻击间接——地震、毒药、被熵削弱的脚手架等——那么攻击者如上文投魔峰，但攻击常巧合，而非破则。这可能是觉醒者兵书中最常见的战术，多因它很少当场就明显到能注意到。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Indirect Assault: If the attack is indirect – an earthquake, poison, an Entropy-weakened scaffolding, and so on – then the attacker rolls her Arete as above, but the attack is often coincidental rather than vulgar. This might be the most common tactic in the Awakened arsenal, especially since it’s rarely obvious enough to note until later.

• 调整战术：当你有一点魔法时，一切把戏都有可能。第1级的感知效应在战斗中特别有效，尤其当你用秘艺扫描弱点、跨越距离勘察、或分析敌人和物质时。你能用聪明感知和这儿那儿的推波助澜，采取许多隐秘但高效的战术。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Tactical Adjustments: All manner of tricks become possible when you’ve got a little bit of magick. First-Rank sensory Effects can be especially effective in a combat zone, especially when you’re using the Arts to scope out weak spots, see across distances, or analyze opponents and substances. With clever perceptions and a nudge here and there, you can employ many subtle yet effective tactics.

• 召唤生物：某些法师也会召唤其它存在为他们战斗。这种战术常需精魂领域魔法加1次魔峰骰，且在绝大多数地方都破则。但对强大的萨满和女巫来说，相当高效——请看下文的精魂战斗。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Summoned Creatures: Certain mages also summon other entities to fight for them. That tactic typically requires Spirit Sphere magick plus an Arete roll, and it’s vulgar in most places. Still, for powerful shamans and witches, it can be pretty damned effective – see Spirit Combatants, below.

　详见前文的魔法与暴力。

　For more details, see Magick and Violence, above.

多人攻击

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Multiple Opponents

　近距和数个敌人战斗的角色，在攻击和防御骰上都受+1难度的罚值/个攻击者，最多+4。如和2个敌人战斗，这些难度会+2，和5个就是难度+4。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A character who’s fighting several opponents at close range suffers a penalty of +1 difficulty per attacker to both her attack and defense rolls, up to a maximum penalty of +4. Fighting two opponents, for instance, would add +2 to those difficulties, and fighting five opponents would add +4 difficulty.

　有空间1、心灵1或时间2的法师，且在战斗时，正有1个应用了这些领域之一的活跃感知效应，能无视此罚值。此类效应实际上让他更好看到谁正对谁做什么。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A mage who has Correspondence 1, Mind 1, or Time 2 and has an active sensory Effect in one of those Spheres going at the time of combat can ignore this penalty. Essentially, such Effects give him an enhanced view of who’s doing what to whom.

恶劣天气或地形

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Rough Weather or Terrain

　由于一些奇怪的原因，人们常在冰上、暴雨中、燃烧工厂中等地方战斗。当战斗者在恶劣环境中时，各种骰的难度可能+1到3。具体视情况定，但地形可能比战士自己更危险——详见环境环境危害部分。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　For some odd reason, folks often wind up fighting on ice, in rainstorms, through the middle of burning factories, and so on. When throwing down in ugly circumstances, the combatants might add between +1 and +3 to the difficulties of their various rolls. The specifics depend on the situation, but the terrain may be more dangerous than the warriors themselves – see the Environmental Hazards section for details.

精魂战斗

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Spirit Combatants

　无论有无化身风暴，法师都能与灵体存在进行魔法和刀剑上的交锋。此类存在除非实体化，否则常缺少实体，所以和它们战斗的过程能相当奇怪… 当然也和与凡人对手战斗的战术和经历不同。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Avatar Storm or no Avatar Storm, mages can cross spells and blades with spirit entities. Such beings often lack physical substance unless they materialize, so the process of fighting them can be rather strange... certainly different from the tactics and experiences involved in fighting mortal adversaries.

　故事上，精魂是常以灵活形态具体化的思想和本质。此类存在的表现形态取决于具体精魂的本质，可能是灵质风暴、惊悚怪物、幽灵般的雾气存在、表面平常的人或动物、几何学具象的破碎纠缠或任何你能想象的形式。精魂在此形态下，常不仅以其肢体，而且还以意志点特质和各种神秘灵咒攻击：类似魔法的灵体力量，但不知为何符合事物的方式——即使它们的效果在科学上完全不可能。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Story-wise, spirits are ideas and essence embodied in often flexible forms. Depending on the nature of the individual spirit, such a being might appear as an ephemeral tempest, a bizarre monstrosity, a ghostly mist creature, an apparently normal person or animal, a chattering tangle of incarnate geometry, or anything you might imagine. In that form, the entity often attacks with not only its limbs but also its Willpower Trait and various mystic Charms: spiritual powers that resemble magic but somehow fit into the way things are even when their effects are clearly impossible by scientific reckoning.

　有关精魂和其力量，详见本章后面的影裔精魂存在。现在我们只提这些战斗必需的规则：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The details regarding spirits and their powers can be found later in this chapter, under Umbrood Spirit Entities. For now, we’ll simply mention these following combat-essential rules:

• 精魂以意志点攻击和吸收，以魂怒伤害敌人：精魂存在除非显形（见下），否则绝大多数行动都用意志点特质，用其本质的狂怒——游戏上是魂怒特质——造成伤害。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Spirits Attack and Soak With Willpower and Damage Opponents With Rage: Unless it has materialized (see below), a spirit entity uses its Willpower Trait for most tasks and inflicts damage with the seething fury of its essence – in game terms, the Rage Trait.

• 基于魂怒的精魂攻击造成致死伤害：绝大多数精魂攻击以灵咒方式进行。但当1个精魂被刺激到足以用其魂怒对抗目标时，魂怒特质成为精魂骰池，伤害为致命或恶性。详见影裔精魂存在部分（第485-495页）的爆破灵咒。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Rage-Based Spirit Attacks Inflict Deadly Damage: Most spiritual attacks come by way of Charms. If and when a spirit gets roused enough to turn its Rage against a target, however, that Rage Trait becomes the entity’s dice pool, and the damage is either lethal or aggravated. For details, see the Blast Charm entry in the Umbrood Spirit Entities section, (pp. 485-495).

• 法师能吸收精魂魂怒伤害：有精魂领域（或界层科学）——无论等级——的角色，能用反制魔法吸收精魂基于魂怒的伤害。没有的能以化身特质吸收，难度8。其他绝大多数角色无法吸收精魂魂怒。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Mages Can Soak Spirit Rage Damage: A character with the Spirit Sphere (or Dimensional Science), at any level, can use countermagick to soak a spirit’s Rage-based damage. A mage without the Spirit Sphere can try to soak it with his Avatar Trait, difficulty 8. Most other mortal characters cannot soak spirit Rage.

• 精魂常隐形：没有至少1级精魂领域的话，包括法师在内的凡人都无法看到精魂——除非其显形，或用现身灵咒让自己出现在人类眼前。但有超感的动物和凡人能用其察觉附近精魂的存在——即使他们无法真看到。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Spirits Are Usually Invisible: Without at least one dot in the Spirit Sphere, mortals, including mages, cannot see spirits unless a given spirit materializes or uses an Appear Charm to show itself to human eyes. Animals and humans with the Awareness Talent, however, can use it to perceive a nearby spirit’s presence, even if they cannot actually see it.

• 精魂非实体：此类存在由灵质组成，它不像绝大多数战士那样是实体的。虽然有些能用显形灵咒获得物理形态（也因此变得和其它任何现世生物一样坚固），但它们绝大多数仍保持灵质本质，这意味着…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Spirits Aren’t Material: Composed of ephemera, such entities are not physical in the way most combatants are physical. Although some can use the Materialize Charm to take on physical form (and thus become as solid as any other Earthly creature), most of them retain their ephemeral essence, which means...

• 为和精魂战斗，你得有原质或精魂领域：发现自己得处理影裔存在的法师需2级及以上的精魂领域（或者，用科联的话说，界层科学）来影响它们。精魂2能让法师触碰存在，精魂3对付它就和生命3对付有机造物一样。除非影裔获得物理形态，否则生命和物质对它完全没用，其它领域也基本没用——除非法师进入影界，在精魂自己的地盘和其战斗。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• To Fight Spirits, You Need the Prime or Spirit Spheres: Mages who find themselves dealing with Umbrood entities need the Spirit Sphere (or, in Technocratic terms, Dimensional Science) at Rank 2 or higher in order to affect those entities. Spirit 2 allows a mage to touch an entity, and Spirit 3 acts against it the way Life 3 acts against organic beings. Life and Matter are completely useless against the Umbrood unless they take on a physical form, and other Spheres are essentially useless, too, unless the mage enters the Umbra to battle a spirit on its own ground.

　除非精魂已显形，或武器已被原质领域或精魂/界层科学领域附魔，否则物理攻击直接穿过它。由于绝大多数精魂的古怪意识，对影界存在的心灵攻击往往影响法师而非精魂。精魂2和原质2的组合像生命魔法一样影响影界存在，除了一个例外…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Physical attacks go right through a spirit unless the spirit has materialized or the weapon has been enchanted with the Prime Sphere or the Spirit/Dimensional Science Sphere. Given the bizarre consciousness of most spirits, Mind attacks upon Umbral entities tend to affect the mage instead of the spirit. A combination of Spirit 2 and Prime 2 acts like Life magick on an Umbral entity, with one exception...

• 熵对幽灵不利：无休死者与熵的关系比精魂的更密切。虽然精魂领域也影响它们，但熵3和原质2的组合会在超自然等级上攻击它们的本质，像生命领域魔法一样作用于它们。不行的是，这也会真正带出幽灵最糟糕的特性。以熵魔法攻击幽灵的法师会发现自己正对付一个恶灵——完全邪恶和禁忌的幽灵。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

• Entropy Does Bad Things to Ghosts: The Restless Dead are more closely tied to Entropy than to Spirit. Although the Spirit Sphere affects them too, it’s the combination of Entropy 3 and Prime 2 that attacks their essence on a metaphysical level and acts like Life Sphere magick on them. Unfortunately, this also literally brings out a ghost’s worst qualities. Mages who attack ghosts with Entropy magick find themselves confronting a spectre – everything vicious and forbidden about the ghost in question.

　无论险棘和化身风暴的状态，法师并不经常同精魂战斗——除非他们自己穿越进入异界。但当敌意精魂接触觉醒者时，最好记住这类敌人并非人类。他们由不同于我们的物质组成，绝大多数凡人也甚至无法理解其其运作原理。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Regardless of the state of the Gauntlet and Avatar Storm, mages don’t wind up fighting spirits very often unless those mages pass into the Otherworlds themselves. When hostile spirits engage the Awakened folk, however, it’s a good idea to remember that such antagonists are not human. They’re made of different stuff than we are, and they work by rules that most mortals can’t even comprehend.

　（更多细节请看战斗顺序表中的精魂战斗、异界，和上文提到的精魂存在 一节，都在本章后面。）

瞄准地点

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Targeting a Location

　将攻击瞄准某个位置——持枪的手、双眼、膝盖后面——比简单击打更难，但能有惊人回报。游戏上，瞄准了具体位置的角色会同时增加普通难度和伤害骰。瞄准的攻击可绕开护甲、打掉敌人手中的物体、或有其它基于攻击和位置的效果。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Aiming an attack at a certain location – the gun hand, eyes, the back of a knee – is more difficult than a simple strike but can have marvelous rewards. In game terms, a character targeting a specific location adds to his normal difficulty but adds to his damage dice as well. A targeted strike may bypass armor, knock an object out of the opponent’s hand, or have other effects based on the attack and location involved.

目标大小	难度	伤害调整
中等（手臂、公文包）	+1	+1骰
小（头、手、枪）	+2	+2骰
精确（眼、心、膝盖骨）	+3	+3骰

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Target Size	Difficulty	Damage Modifier
Medium (arm, briefcase)	+1	+ one die
Small (head, hand, gun)	+2	+ two dice
Precise (eye, heart, kneecap)	+3	+ three dice

远程战斗

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Ranged Attacks

　法师同绝大多数人一样，喜欢在敌人和他们自己的脆弱躯壳间保持距离。所以当技官的突击部队或偷车兜风的帮派分子让你角色的生命艰难时（或者当你就是那个突击部队或帮派分子时！），以下系统处理飞来的玩意儿和其它投掷物。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Like most people, mages prefer to keep a distance between their enemies and their own fragile shells. So, when Technocratic shock troops or joyriding gangbangers make your character’s life difficult (or when you are the shock troops or gangbangers!), the following systems handle flying lead and other projectiles.

瞄准

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Aiming

　绝大多数人在交火中，都更重视掩护而非准度。但对那些花时间精力正确瞄准的角色来说，结果更好。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Most folks, in a firefight, place more importance on cover than on accuracy. For those characters who take the time and effort to aim correctly, though, the results are more effective.

　游戏上，正瞄准的角色须或多或少保持静止… 也许随着终结者恐吓而大步向前，但除外一动不动。用来瞄准的每回合，都能加1骰于你相应的攻击骰池，上限为角色的感知等级。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In game terms, an aiming character must remain more or less still... perhaps striding forward with Terminator menace but otherwise motionless. For each turn spent aiming, add one die to your appropriate attack dice pool, up to a maximum of your character’s Perception rating.

　瞄准镜也会给攻击骰加2骰；但此加成只适用于单次射击。每次新射击都须再用瞄准镜瞄准，来获得完整加成和效果。（某些瞄准镜也会降低攻击骰难度——请看第454页的特殊枪支瞄准镜）

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A scope adds two dice to that attack roll as well; this bonus, however, applies only to a single shot. Each new shot must be aimed again using the scope in order to get the full bonus and effect. (Certain scopes reduce attack roll difficulty too – see Special Gun Sights, p. 454.)

　为正确瞄准，角色须在枪械（为用枪瞄准）、能量武器（为用能量武器）或箭术（为用弓箭）上有至少1点。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In order to aim properly, a character must have at least one dot in either Firearms (to aim guns), Energy Weapons (to employ energy weapons), or Archery (in order to use bows).

自动射击和扫射

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Automatic Gunfire and Strafing

　枪声风暴标志了觉醒者间的众多战斗。由于名为自动武器的技官噩梦，角色能在一次狂野爆发中清空整个弹夹。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Storms of gunfire mark many battles between the Awakened folk. And thanks to the Technocratic nightmare called automatic weapons, a character can empty her entire ammunition clip in a single wild burst.

　以全自动速度用枪射击会给攻击骰加10骰，但也因其后坐力，而令射击难度+2，你的角色为清空弹夹，至少需在开始有半弹夹的弹药；一旦这些子弹射出，弹夹就没用了。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Firing a gun at full-auto speed adds 10 dice to the attack roll, but it also raises the difficulty of the shot by +2, courtesy of the gun’s recoil. In order to empty a clip, your character needs at least a half-clip of ammo to begin with; once those shots are fired, the clip is useless.

　全自动扫射：攻击者扫射1个区域时，会用子弹将那个区域打得水泄不通。游戏上，此战术运作除了成功数要在每个涉及目标间均匀分配，其余都同全自动火力。若投出成功少于目标数，叙事人决定谁被枪林弹雨命中与否。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Full-Auto Strafing: When strafing an area, the attacker hoses down that area with bullets. Game-wise, this tactic works the same way as full-auto fire, except that the successes are distributed evenly between each target involved. If the number of successes rolled winds up smaller than the number of targets, then the Storyteller decides who’s been hit and who’s been missed by that spray of bullets.

弓

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Bows

　早在枪成为人类的首选武器前，远程战斗者就运用了弓的强大精准。如今，此类武器似乎显得笨重古怪。但在熟练弓箭手手中，弓比枪械有几个优点。它们安静、精准而强大——若你有凯特尼斯·伊夫狄恩（译注：《饥饿游戏》女主角）的潜能，便能在百步外射穿血族心脏。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Long before guns became man’s weapon of choice, long-range fighters employed the muscular precision of bows. These days, such weapons seem cumbersome and odd. Still, in the hands of a skilled archer, bows have several advantages over firearms. They’re quiet, accurate, and powerful – you can shoot a stake through a vampire’s heart at 100 paces if you’re a would-be Katniss Everdeen.

　但这些武器需要比枪械更多的专业知识。角色为正确用弓，需次级技能箭术。玩家投敏捷+箭术来发射武器。如远程武器表所列，不同弓有不同难度。无对应技能的角色能尝试用弓，但受+2难度罚值。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　These weapons, though, demand more expertise than guns. To use a bow correctly, a character needs the secondary Skill Archery. The player rolls Dexterity + Archery in order to shoot that weapon. Different bows have different difficulty ratings, as listed on the Ranged Weapons chart. A character without the appropriate Ability can try to use a bow, but he suffers a +2 difficulty penalty.

　悲伤的是，弓比枪更易损坏。弓弦一样。若弓手投出大失败，弓弦断裂，得在再次用弓前更换（机敏+工艺或箭术，难度+1——假设你有个额外弓弦… 若没有，你完了）。弓发射东西的时间也比枪长。游戏上，一个业余弓手在射箭前，须上弦并拉弓（1个自动动作）。但箭术3+的角色能以1动作上弦、拉弓、射箭。但弩要两回合准备并射箭。但技能在此并不重要，因为其中的机制最多就这么快。当然，1个时间3效应能给角色额外动作，加速整个过程——请看第十章（第522-523页）的时间领域。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Sadly, bows are more breakable than guns. So are bowstrings. If the would-be archer botches a roll, the bowstring snaps and must be replaced before the weapon can be used again. (Wits + Crafts or Archery, at +1 difficulty – assuming you have an extra bowstring... if not, thou art fuck’ed.) Bows also take longer to send off their projectiles than guns do. In game terms, an amateur archer must nock and draw the arrow (an automatic action) before he can loose it. A character with three dots or more in Archery, however, can nock, draw, and loose as a single action. A crossbow, meanwhile, takes two turns to ready and shoot. Skill doesn’t matter here, though, because the mechanisms involved move only so fast. A Time 3 Effect, of course, can speed the whole process up by giving extra actions to the character – see the Time Sphere entry in Chapter Ten, (pp. 522-523).

　对于从远处钉住血族，我们没开玩笑。但说比做容易。弓手为了完成此行为，需投出至少5成功，并至少得造成3健康等级伤害（吸收后），来刺穿怪物胸口，使他的不死心脏碎裂停顿。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　We weren’t kidding about that staking a vampire from a distance trick. Saying it, however, is easier than doing it. To accomplish that feat, the archer needs to score at least five successes and must also inflict at least three health levels (after soaking) in order to pierce the monster’s chest and bring his undead dominion to a splintery halt.

掩护与行动

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Cover and Movement

　无论有无魔法，枪战都不能大意。无法摆脱子弹或能量爆炸者尽可能多地运用掩护。此类保护常在汽车追逐、飞车射击、枪战和其它是人都不会疯到站以待毙的攻击下发挥作用。当然，问题是，你不能命中你无法看见的东西。为瞄准并开火，你也得把自己暴露在敌人枪口下。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Magick or no magick, gunfights are no place for carelessness. Folks who can’t shrug off bullets or energy blasts use cover as often as possible. Such protection often comes into play during car chases, drive-bys, firefights, and other attacks on people who aren’t crazy enough to stand up and get shot at. The problem, of course, is that you can’t shoot what you can’t see. In order to aim and fire, you’ve got to expose a bit of yourself to your enemy’s gunshots as well.

　掩护增加命中目标的难度；角色的掩护越多，越难击中她。相反地，从某些位置射击，或移动时准确射击，也会变难。2种情况下，射击角色射击都受罚值——即使她有掩护加成。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Cover adds to the difficulty of hitting a target; the more cover a character has, the harder it is to hit her. Conversely, it’s also harder to shoot from certain positions or to fire accurately while you’re moving as well. In either case, the shooting character suffers a penalty to her shots, even as she gets the benefits of cover.

　角色无论是否有掩护，移动速度上限都是跑步速度的一半，动作骰池无罚值或分割（请看本章开头的行动）。躲在墙后和车后对现代枪手来说是历史悠久的战术，一个想避免单程前往冥界的人也会最大利用掩护和行动。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　With or without cover, a character can move up to one half of his maximum running distance and still act without taking a penalty or dividing up his dice pool. (See Movement at the beginning of this chapter.) Ducking behind walls and dodging behind cars are time-honored tactics for the modern gunfighter, and a person who wants to avoid a one-way trip to the Shadowlands will use cover and movement to her best advantage.

掩护	命中目标的难度	枪手难度
平躺	+1	+0
移动	+1	+1
墙后	+2	+1
仅头露出	+3	+2

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Cover	Difficulty to Hit Target	Shooter’s Difficulty
Lying Flat	+1	+0
Moving	+1	+1
Behind Wall	+2	+1
Only Head Exposed	+3	+2

射程

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Range

　远程武器表的每件武器都列出了射程作为其条目的一部分。此特质显示了武器的中等有效射程；此距离内，难度被认为是6。武器能以难度8（叙事人可能要求更难），最多发射到列出射程的2倍。但2码及以内，角色在近距离内，难度降到4。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Every weapon on the Ranged Weapons chart has a certain listed Range as part of its entry. That Trait shows the weapon’s medium effective range; within this distance, the difficulty is considered to be 6. A given weapon can be fired up to twice that listed Range at difficulty 8 (possibly higher at the Storyteller’s call). Within two yards or less, however, the characters are within point-blank range and the difficulty drops to 4.

装弹

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Reloading

　有时，枪的子弹用光了… 对付法师时，这比通常下更突然。聪明枪手为此情况携带额外弹药。假如你的角色手头有个备用弹夹，那自动武器能在战斗中用1个动作上弹。那把枪仍能在同回合开火——只是玩家通常的攻击骰池失去2骰。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Guns run out of ammo... sometimes, when dealing with mages, more unexpectedly than usual. Smart gunfighters carry extra ammunition for such occasions. Assuming that your character has a spare clip handy, an automatic weapon can be reloaded during combat by taking a single action to do so. That gun can still be fired within the same turn – the player simply loses two dice from his usual attack dice pool.

　左轮手枪是另一回事。它们因为不用弹夹，常需一颗颗上弹——除非你已有个早上好子弹的快速上弹器。有快速上弹器的角色能如上把新弹夹装入枪。若没已有的快速上弹器，需花1整回合手动装填手枪。那回合无法有其他动作，但1个时间3效应能减慢法师周围的时间池，此时她能照常上弹然后射击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Revolvers are another matter. Because they don’t use clips, such guns usually have to be loaded bullet by bullet unless you’ve got a speed-loader already primed with bullets. A character with a speed-loader can slap a new clip into her gun, as above. If she doesn’t have a speed-loader ready, she needs to take a full turn to reload that pistol manually. No other actions are possible that turn, though a Time 3 Effect can slow a temporal pool around the mage, during which time she can load her gun normally and then shoot.

　有枪械1+的角色在正常情况下无需投掷就能上弹，但特定困境下（重伤、开着的车里上弹等），可能需投次敏捷+枪械。然而，用新子弹装填已用弹夹或快速上弹器，需敏捷+枪械骰（难度6）和1整回合。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A character with a Firearms rating of 1 or better can reload without making a roll under normal circumstances, though certain complications (badly hurt, reloading in a moving car, and so on) might demand a Dexterity + Firearms roll. Reloading a spent clip or speed-loader with fresh bullets, however, requires a Dexterity + Firearms roll (difficulty 6) and an entire turn.

三连发

Three-Round Burst

　许多自动武器都能三连发。就像上文的全自动射击情况，这些连射给你的攻击骰多加骰子——三连发是多3骰——代价是难度更高（这种情况是通常难度+1）。列出的难度基于该枪的单发子弹。很明显，此战术每次连发都要花三颗子弹。请查阅远距武器表来看哪些武器能三连发。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Many automatic weapons can fire off three-round bursts. As with the full-auto fire circumstance above, these bursts add extra dice to your attack roll – three extra dice for a three-round burst – at the cost of a higher difficulty (in this case, +1 to the normal difficulty). The listed damage is based upon a single bullet from the gun in question. Obviously, this tactic expends three bullets each time a burst is fired. Check the Ranged Weapons chart to see which weapons can fire three-round bursts.

Thrown Weapons

　当枪支太过，而拳头不够远时，猛扔一个啤酒瓶或一把刀能非常有效… 尤其是用一些魔法强化时。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When a gun’s too much and a fist doesn’t reach far enough, a hurled beer mug or knife can be remarkably effective... especially when enhanced with a bit of magick.

　投掷物品很容易；真用它击中人需成功投次敏捷+运动。难度常为6，但近距目标可能是5。远距目标或投出笨重物品（桌子、路标、不为投掷设计的武器）可令难度+1或+2。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Throwing objects is easy enough; actually hitting someone with one requires a successful Dexterity + Athletics roll. That roll’s difficulty is typically 6, though close targets might be difficulty 5 instead. Distant targets, or clumsy objects being thrown (tables, street signs, weapons that haven’t been designed to be thrown), may raise that difficulty by +1 or +2.

　若攻击者知晓力场领域，他能给一件投掷武器加力场2的推力，增加投出物体的速度和动能。这个巧合把戏上投出的每个成功令攻击难度-1，上限-3。这反之又让攻击更可能投出额外伤害——请看上文的阶段3：伤害和魔法强化暴力。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If the attacker knows the Sphere of Forces, he could add a push of Forces 2 to a thrown weapon, adding velocity and momentum to the hurled object. Each success scored with this coincidental trick lowers the difficulty of the attack by -1, to a maximum reduction of -3. This, in turn, makes it more likely that the attack will score additional damage – see Phase Three: Damage and Magick Enhancing Violence, above.

　与不同武器有关的难度、伤害和其它细节能在投掷武器下的远距武器表找到。投掷武器的射程常取决于投掷者力量和物品的体积与空气动力学特性。叙事人应据情况自由调整难度和射程。一个强壮的赛博格当然能扔出辆车… 但说真的，他能扔多远，尤其是大众还都正看着他？

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Difficulties, damage, and other details associated with different weapons can be found on the Ranged Weapons chart, under Thrown Weapons. The range of a hurled weapon usually depends upon the strength of the thrower and both the bulk and aerodynamic qualities of the object. The Storyteller should feel free to adjust the difficulties and ranges according to circumstances. Sure, a strong cyborg can throw a car... but really, how far can he throw it, especially when the Masses are watching him?

双持武器

Two Weapons

　如果你想让你的吴宇森上场（而且说实话——谁不想呢？），双枪特技是老旧爱好。但它在电影之外远比看上去要难。同时用两把枪的枪手需给两件武器分割她的敏捷+枪械骰池，不在她手上的枪有+1难度罚值。也就是说，一个熟练战斗者能用一对大型手枪和使用它们的意志来造成严重伤害。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If you wanna get your John Woo on (and really – who doesn’t?), the two-fisted gunslinger stunt is an old favorite. Outside the movies, though, it’s far more difficult than it looks. A shooter who employs two guns at once needs to divide her Dexterity + Firearms dice pool between both weapons and also add a +1 difficulty penalty to the gun in her off hand. That said, a skillful combatant can lay down some serious damage with a pair of large pistols and the will to use them.

近身搏斗

Close Combat

　由于法师是普通人，而普通人在与其它夜裔较量时并不特别强壮，所以法师和他们的人类盟友需在竞技上引入富有想象力的战斗技巧。万幸（至少是对法师来说），人类已花费数千年精进高效的武力方式。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Because mages are normal humans, and because normal humans aren’t particularly strong when stacked up against other Night-Folk, mages and their human allies must bring imaginative fighting techniques to the arena. Thankfully (for the mages, at least), humankind has spent millennia refining methods of effective force.

　以下系统涵盖一个觉醒角色可能用来打倒敌人的许多技巧。每节都有关于每种技巧的必要元素的说明：伤害、投掷等。若1个技巧需2而非1动作，攻击者须于两者间分割骰池，或用时间3效应来完成。无论哪种方式，除非另有说明，否则攻击都发生在1回合内。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The following systems cover the many techniques an Awakened character might use to take her enemies down. Each section features notes about the necessary elements of each maneuver: damage, roll, and so forth. If a maneuver requires two actions instead of one, the attacker must either divide her dice pool between them or employ a Time 3 Effect in order to finish the job. Either way, the attack takes place within one turn unless specified otherwise.

可选规则：武器长度

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Optional Rule: Weapon Length

　当你带把匕首去对打武士刀时，明显是你处于劣势。为了反映与有较长武器的敌人作战的固有危险，此可选规则于有较短武器的角色的攻击骰池中减去1骰。此选项只适用于徒手情况。若你发现自己正面对一台超智技械，而你手里只有把小刀时，走为上计。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When you bring a knife to a katana fight, you’re at a distinct disadvantage. To reflect the inherent dangers of battling an opponent with a longer weapon, this optional rule subtracts one die from the attack dice pool of the character who’s got the shorter weapon. This option applies only to hand-to-hand situations. If you find yourself facing off against a HIT Mark with nothing but your athame at hand, it’s time to be anywhere but there.

普通徒手技巧

General Hand-to-hand Maneuvers

　任何有适当体格的角色都能施展以下技巧。但有些动作仅限特定形状——若你没爪子，你就不能爪抓！绝大多数情况下。这些攻击造成冲击伤害。例外在每种里都有指出。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Any character with the right physique can perform the following maneuvers. Some moves, however, are limited to certain shapes – you can’t claw someone if you don’t have claws! For the most part, these attacks inflict bashing damage. Exceptions are noted in each entry.

　• 咬噬：有牙齿的生物能咬噬。人类下颚常造成（力量）个冲击伤害，但变形法师的牙齿能是致命。某些夜裔能以咬噬造成恶性伤害，但法师——即使以更危险的形态——只能是致命。咬噬攻击通常造成力量+1伤害；但特别大的嘴或牙可使攻击加+2甚至+3。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Bite: Creatures with teeth can bite. Human jaws normally inflict Strength in bashing damage, but a shapechanged mage’s teeth can deal out lethal harm instead. Certain Night-Folk inflict aggravated damage with their bites, but a mage – even in a more dangerous form – inflicts lethal damage only. Typically, a bite attack causes Strength +1 damage; an especially large mouth or teeth, however, may add +2 or even +3 to that attack.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Claw: Cyborgs, beasts, shapechanged mages, and folks wearing surgically implanted claws can slash their enemies. Again, this inflicts lethal, not aggravated, damage unless the attacker has some sort of special advantage like Primium claws or Quintessence enhancement. (See the entry for the Prime Sphere, Chapter Ten). Normal claws inflict Strength +1; Wolverine-style claws dish out Strength +2, and holy-shit-lemmie-outta-here claws may deal out Strength +3.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Disarm: With a clever strike and twist, the fighter removes her opponent’s weapon from his hand. To succeed, the attacker rolls Dexterity + Melee at +1 to her usual difficulty; if her successes exceed her opponent’s Strength score, then he drops that weapon. If she doesn’t score enough successes to disarm the opponent, she still inflicts her usual damage. If she botches that roll, she loses her own weapon instead.

　一个勇敢或技艺精湛的攻击者能尝试徒手解除武装敌人的武器。这种情况下投敏捷+肉搏，难度8，通常攻击骰池减1骰。武术技能有3+的角色能以难度7施展此空手卸武技巧；这种情况下投敏捷+武术，而非肉搏。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A brave or skillful attacker can try to disarm an armed opponent with her bare hands. In this case, the roll is Dexterity + Brawl, the difficulty is 8, and she subtracts one die from her usual attack dice pool. A character with at least three dots in the Martial Arts Skill can perform this bare-handed disarm maneuver at difficulty 7 instead; in this case, the roll is Dexterity + Martial Arts, not Brawl.

　• 擒拿：攻击者抓住敌人，可尝试让其无法动弹（压制）或压住（扭打）。后者需些力气，但生命魔法让许多事变得可能。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Grapple: Grabbing hold of her antagonist, the attacker tries to either immobilize him (a hold) or crush him (a clinch). The latter option requires a bit of strength, but Life Sphere magick makes many things possible.

　攻击者要抓住另1个角色，需成功投力量+肉搏、武术或道。若她想让攻击带有疼痛，玩家投其力量来造成伤害，于下1回合开始，持续到敌人挣脱。敌人可照常尝试吸收伤害。若攻击者是想让敌人保持不动，他被她抓住，直到他下1个动作。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To grapple another character, the attacker needs to make a successful Strength + Brawl, Martial Arts, or Do roll. If she wants to bring the pain with her attack, the player can roll her Strength to inflict damage, beginning on the next turn and continuing until her opponent breaks free. That foe may try to soak that damage as usual. If, instead, the attacker wants to hold her opponent still, he’s stuck in her grip until his next action.

　敌人要摆脱擒拿，有2个选项：投对抗的力量+肉搏，成功击打攻击者来挣脱；或做一样的事、然后比攻击者多投出2成功来扭转压制。在叙事人选择下，一个灵敏角色可用敏捷而非力量来挣脱；若他有杂技、武术或道，他能用这些特质之一代替肉搏。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To escape a grapple, the opponent has two options: he can break free by successfully beating his attacker in a resisted Strength + Brawl roll, or he can reverse the hold by doing the same thing and then scoring two successes more than his attacker has scored. At the Storyteller’s option, an agile character can use Dexterity instead of Strength to escape; if he’s got Acrobatics, Martial Arts, or Do, he can use either of those Traits instead of Brawl.

　擒拿攻击常造成冲击伤害。有倒钩、尖刺或利爪的角色——并在敌人被擒拿时用它们撕扯他——造成致命伤害。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Grappling attacks normally inflict bashing damage. A character who’s got barbs, spikes, or claws – and who tears into her victim with them while he’s held – inflicts lethal damage instead.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Kick: Lashing out with a leg or two, the character hits an opponent where it hurts. This attack reflects a pretty basic strike; for elaborate martial arts kicks, see below.

　• Punch: One fist, one face, one very basic attack. Certain punches – like uppercuts or shots to the kidneys – may deal out extra damage with a higher difficulty rating.

　• 读懂对手：法师擅长超越敌人思维。叙事人许可下，徒手战斗者能尝试投感知+肉搏、道或武术，读懂对手意图。这是对抗骰，观察者的感知+战斗特质对抗敌人的机敏+战斗特质。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Reading an Opponent: Mages specialize in out-thinking their opponents. With the Storyteller’s permission, a hand- to-hand combatant may try to read an opponent’s intentions with a roll of Perception + either Brawling, Do, or Martial Arts. This becomes a resisted roll, pitting the observer’s Perception + combat Trait against her opponent’s Wits + combat Trait.

　若观察者胜，每个成功加1骰到骰池，来执行下个动作。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If the observer succeeds, she adds one die per success to the dice pool to perform her next action.

　读懂对手需1动作。角色每个战斗幕间只能做（机敏点）次（机敏3角色1幕最多尝试这个把戏3次）。叙事人可选择将此把戏限定在机敏和相应战斗特质上都有2+的角色；不懂战斗的迟钝者不擅长这种事。这个把戏有20+英尺的距离时无效——除非观察者至少有1点空间或心灵领域，并用1个感知效应远距读懂对手。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Reading an opponent demands one action. The character may attempt to do this only once per combat scene for each dot she has in Wits. (A Wits 3 character, then, could try this trick up to a maximum of three times in a scene.) The Storyteller might choose to limit this trick to characters who have at least two dots in both Wits and the appropriate combat Trait; slow-witted people who don’t understand fighting aren’t good at this sort of thing. At ranges beyond 20 feet or so, this trick does not work unless the observer has at least one dot in the Correspondence or Mind Spheres and uses a perceptual Effect to read his opponent at a distance.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Sweep: With a weapon (Melee) or leg (Brawl, Martial Arts, or Do), our fighter knocks his enemy’s own legs out from under him. Martial artists and Do-trained fighters with a specialty in Weapon Forms can use their Martial Arts or Do (rather than Melee) to sweep an opponent’s legs out from under him while using a weapon... and may get extra successes when the player rolls a 10. If the blow succeeds, the antagonist winds up on the ground that turn and, although the fall won’t hurt him, it’ll place him at a disadvantage. (See Blinding, Knocked Down, Immobilized, or Stunned, above.)

　• 击倒：攻击者结合体重和动力，将自身扔向敌人。这会伤害双方，但它是阻止逃跑敌人的高效方法。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Tackle: Employing a mix of weight and momentum, the attacker throws herself into her opponent. This sort of thing can hurt both parties, but it’s an effective way to stop a fleeing enemy.

　击倒至少需2码距离来达到有效动力。每个战斗者都须成功投次敏捷+运动（攻击者难度6，目标难度6+攻击者成功），否则之后平躺在地。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A tackle requires at least two yards of distance to achieve effective momentum. Each combatant must make a successful Dexterity + Athletics roll (difficulty 6 for the attacker, difficulty 6 + the attacker’s successes for the target), or else wind up sprawled on the ground afterward.

　大失败的击倒者要么失足摔倒（她每跑1码就对自己造成1骰伤害）；要么撞到其它东西（对自己造成上述伤害外加（力量）个伤害）；要么撞到目标然后弹开（遭受目标（耐力）个伤害，目标本身无伤）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A would-be tackler who botches either trips and falls (inflicting one die of damage upon herself for every yard she ran); slams into something else (inflicting that damage plus her Strength damage upon herself); or crashes into her target and bounces off (suffering the opponent’s Stamina in damage and leaving the target himself unharmed).

　击倒伤害绝大多数情况都是冲击，而非致命。但一个被飞来的赛博格的重量压垮——或被立刻用生命增加质量、或力场增加动力击中——的人，可能需要去医院休养；游戏上，这种战术造成致命伤害。难道我们真需要指明，一个将自己扔向赛博格或强化重量者的脆弱人类法师很可能会受到那种伤害吗…？

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　For the most part, tackle damage is bashing, not lethal. A person crushed beneath the weight of a flying cyborg, however – or hit by someone who’s suddenly amped her mass with Life or her momentum with Forces – is liable to need a hospital, stat; in game terms, this tactic inflicts lethal damage instead. Do we really need to point out that a fragile human mage who flings herself into a cyborg or mass-enhanced body is liable to suffer that kind of damage herself...?

法师把戏：雷霆击

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Mage Trick: The Thunder Punch

　战斗法师能在拳击、脚踢或其它徒手攻击后掷出启蒙力量，进行出乎意料的强大打击。故事上，这类把戏看上去像完美的表演。游戏上，法师用空间1（判断完美打击点）、熵1或2（寻找弱点或将概率调整到完美地点和时间）、力场2（增加速度）、生命3（强化力量或伤害敌人内在）、心灵2（发出投降冲动）、物质2（破坏惰性材料）、原质2（直接攻击目标式样）或时间2（注意完美开局）。和其它绝大多数把戏一样，每个成功减少1个攻击骰难度，调整上限3。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Throwing Enlightened force behind a punch, kick, or other hand-to-hand attack, a fighting mage delivers an unexpectedly powerful blow. Story-wise, the trick looks like a perfectly executed strike. In game terms, the mage employs either Correspondence 1 (to judge the perfect spot to hit), Entropy 1 or 2 (to either find a weak spot or adjust probability to the perfect place and time), Forces 2 (to increase velocity), Life 3 (to boost Strength or to damage the enemy internally), Mind 2 (to send an impulse to surrender), Matter 2 (to break inert materials), Prime 2 (to directly attack the target’s Pattern), or Time 2 (to note the perfect opening). As with most other tricks, each success reduces the difficulty of the attack roll by -1 per success, to a maximum adjustment of -3.

　这种“雷霆击”在绝大多数情况下也能以徒手武器施展——巧合并造成冲击伤害。然而一个生命或原质3的式样攻击造成恶性伤害，用击打来聚焦全面的超自然攻击。若法师表现得太弱，以至似乎无法造成如此强大的击打，那么它可能滑向破则魔法… 比如，明显的皮包骨极客打碎了一个高大肌肉恶棍身上的每根骨头。哦，是的——若你不小心，雷霆击能杀人，所以除非你的法师想面对过失杀人或谋杀指控，否则最好把这种把戏留给夜裔和其它此类敌人。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In most cases, this “thunder punch” – which can also be performed with hand-to-hand weapons – is coincidental and inflicts bashing damage. A Life 3 or Prime 3 Pattern assault, however, inflicts aggravated damage instead, using the blow to focus an all-out metaphysical attack. Truly powerful blows may slip into vulgar magick if the mage appears to be too weak to have inflicted such a powerful strike... like, say, the proverbial skinny geek smashing every bone in the body of a towering muscle-thug. Oh, yeah – the thunder punch can kill people if you’re not careful, so it’s best to save this trick for Night-Folk and other such opponents unless your mage wants to face charges for manslaughter or murder.

　这招的另一个缺陷很明显：你可能在使用时伤到自己。若目标成功吸收了雷霆击的所有伤害等级，那么攻击者会伤到自己；他本给目标造成的伤害反而伤到他自己（对，他也能尝试吸收）。式样攻击下法师只受冲击而非恶性伤害。但如果法师尝试雷霆击打墙面、铁甲、磐石等，那他可能受致命伤害，也许粉碎其手或脚… 或如果他用武器击打，会在坚硬表面上被破坏。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Another flipside to the blow is obvious: you can hurt yourself while doing it. If the target manages to soak every level of damage inflicted by a thunder punch, then the attacker hurts himself; the damage he would have inflicted on the target gets inflicted on the mage instead (yes, he can try to soak it too). In the case of the Pattern attacks, the mage simply suffers bashing damage, not aggravated harm. If, however, the mage tries to thunder punch a wall, steel armor, solid stone, and so forth, he might take lethal damage instead, possibly shattering his hand or foot... or, if he’s using a weapon to strike, breaking his weapon against that unyielding surface.

Dirty Fighting

　街头长大的人能以下流方式击倒人。在这种环境中是纯为生存。以下的残忍击打需肉搏技能3+，以及包含此类阴险把戏的背景（帮派成员、暴力邻里、预防强奸课程等）。在街头洗涤的法师也可将此类战术作为工具，来聚焦丑恶的“巧合”，尤其那些用熵、生命、心灵和（当领域增加动量时）力场。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Folks raised on the streets have nasty ways of taking a person down. It’s sheer survival in such environments. The following collection of brutal blows demands at least three dots in the Brawl Ability, plus a background that includes such dirty tricks (gang membership, violent neighborhood, rape-prevention classes, and so on). Street-honed mages might also use such tactics as tools to focus ugly “coincidences,” especially ones using Entropy, Life, Mind, and (when the Sphere increases kinetic momentum) Forces.

　• 致盲：战斗者抓敌人眼睛、朝他脸上扔东西、用化学品喷他或用类似攻击，使其失明。若她成功，每个成功数让敌人失明1回合，骰池失去2骰，直到他恢复。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Blinding: Scratching an enemy’s eyes, throwing dirt in his face, spraying him with chemicals or using some similar attack, the brawler tries to render her opponent sightless. If she succeeds, the enemy gets blinded for one turn per success and loses two dice from his dice pools until he recovers.

　这种攻击常不会造成持久伤害。但在叙事人选择下，真正狠毒的攻击（用生命魔法长出的爪子挖、用酸液淋他等）可能除致盲还会造成1或2健康等级致命伤害。5+成功可能完全摧毁眼睛… 而且虽然生命魔法能治愈此类创伤，但涉及的法术破则——除非治疗者用急救包、冷水或其它巧合方法修复失明。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　This attack doesn’t normally inflict lasting damage. At the Storyteller’s option, however, a truly vicious strike (gouging with Life-grown claws, showering him with acid, etc.) might inflict a health level or two of lethal damage in addition to the blindness. Five successes or more might destroy the eyes completely... and although Life magick can heal such injuries, there’s vulgar spellcasting involved unless the healer uses a First Aid pack, cool water, or some other method of coincidentally fixing blindness.

　This maneuver requires a successful grappling attack. If the enemy can’t break free within that turn, the brawler can use his next action to slam his foe into the nearest and most painful surface.

　• 践踏：一个重组人脸的丑恶方法是把它靠在路边或其它坚硬表面（有时张着嘴以有额外效果），然后踢或踩后脑勺。这种事是获得谋杀未遂指控的绝好办法… 或可能坚持的一级谋杀指控！

　• Curbstomp: An ugly way of rearranging someone’s face involves propping said face against a curb or other hard surface (sometimes with the mouth open, for extra effect) and then kicking or stomping down on the back of his head. This sort of thing is a great way to score an Attempted Murder rap... or a Murder One charge that’s likely to stick!

　踩踏攻击需1个被击晕或无法移动的目标，以及将他脸就位的1回合。之后格斗者踩踏和物理学会做剩下的事。攻击者为攻击投力量。此攻击造成致命伤害，依叙事人可能有持久而可怕的创伤（牙齿断裂、下巴破碎、面部毁容等）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A curbstomp attack requires a stunned or immobilized target, plus one turn to place his face into position. After that, the brawler stomps and physics does the rest. The attacker rolls his Strength for the attack. This assault inflicts lethal damage and may inflict lasting and horrific injuries (broken teeth, shattered jaw, ruined face, etc.) at the Storyteller’s discretion.

　• 重击：格斗者像现实的大力水手，上前，发现开口，全力打出粉碎下巴的一击。若她成功，这一击常将敌人击退1码左右——除非他投力量（难度8）来抵抗影响；若他大失败，倒地。

　• Haymaker: Making like a real-life Popeye the Sailor, the brawler winds up, spots an opening, and hurls everything she has into a jaw-cracking punch. If she’s successful, this blow typically knocks the opponent back a yard or so unless he makes a Strength roll (difficulty 8) to resist its effects; if he botches that roll, he hits the ground.

　• 头部撞击：攻击者在近身互抱的情况下能用自己的头撞敌人的脸或胃。这招明显只在双方都处于对方头部可及范围内时才能用——攻击的主要优点来自出其不意，因为嘴里突然出现厚厚的头颅。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Head Butt: In a close-clinch situation, the attacker can smash her head into the face or stomach of an opponent. Obviously, this move works only when both antagonists are within head’s reach of one another – the attack’s main benefit comes from surprise, backed up by a sudden thick skull in the teeth.

　除非攻击者有长角头部、带刺头盔、钢铁头颅或其它致命装备，否则头部撞击造成冲击伤害。但若目标吸收所有伤害，攻击者被击晕1回合。任何蠢到头部撞击赛博格或其它坚硬敌人的人都遭受她本应造成的伤害，并也被击晕1回合（有关击晕的规则，请看上文的目盲、击倒、无法移动或击晕）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Unless the attacker has a horned head, spiked helmet, steel skull, or other lethal implement, the head butt inflicts bashing damage. If the target soaks all of that damage, however, then the attacker is stunned for one turn. Anyone stupid enough to head butt a cyborg or other unyielding opponent suffers the damage she would have inflicted and gets stunned for a turn as well. (For rules about being stunned, see Blinded, Knocked Down, Immobilized, or Stunned, above.)

　• 捅枪：攻击者将枪械直接堵入敌人身体，炸出一个相当大的洞。这招危险而混乱，迫使攻击者尽可能靠近。1次成功投掷进入敌人范围内。因为枪是徒手用，该技巧用肉搏而非枪械。只有手枪能这么干，而结果… 很恶心。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Jab Pistol: Jamming a firearm directly into his opponent’s body, the attacker blasts a rather large hole in her. Risky and messy, this move forces the attacker to get as up close and personal as it’s possible to get. A successful roll gets inside the opponent’s reach. Because the gun’s being used hand-to-hand, the maneuver employs Brawl instead of Firearms. Only pistols can be used this way, and the results are... disgusting.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Low Blow: Going for the takedown, a brawler aims a shot at some location – kidneys, septum, genitals, etc. – that’s sure to hurt a lot.

　若我们格斗者的攻击骰成功，她的目标就会晕倒（吸收后仍有的健康等级伤害）个回合。他可尝试投耐力（难度8）来摆脱，但除非成功，否则会在剧痛中彻底倒下。此类创伤常涉及冲击伤害。但用爪、牙、剑或强化压毁力打出的低位打击是致命。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　If our brawler assailant makes a successful attack roll, her target winds up stunned for one turn for each health level inflicted after the soak roll. He can try to shrug it off with a Stamina roll (difficulty 8), but unless he manages to do so, he’s down for the count in agonizing pain. Normally, this trauma involves bashing damage. Low blows struck with claws, teeth, blades, or enhanced crushing force, however, are lethal.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Pistol Whip: Adding emphasis to injury, the brawler cracks his opponent across the head or face with a gun or other small, hard, heavy object – a crowbar, brew mug, laptop, etc. This blow inflicts lethal damage and may stun the opponent for one turn if she fails a Stamina roll (difficulty 8)... and for two turns if she botches that roll. In real life, this sort of thing can bust a person’s skull; with magick, it can cover for a Life-based Effect that puts the enemy down for the count... maybe to sleep, perhaps forever.

Martial Arts

　人们自古以来都在愚蠢地互相殴打。但在过去几十年里，数百种武术技法得到了精炼与普及。直到最近，曾一直是精英战士秘艺的技能已成为几乎所有人的运动、消遣和自卫手段。虽然普通人格斗时只是乱打，但高超武术家的战斗远比那高效。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　People have been beating each other senseless since the dawn of time. These last few decades, though, have witnessed the refinement and popularity of hundreds of martial art disciplines. Skills that had been, until recently, the secret arts of elite warriors have since become sports, pastimes, and self-defense techniques for almost everyone. And though the average person is merely brawling when he opens up the Whup-Ass canister, a skilled martial artist fights far more effectively than that.

　法师缺少血族和其它夜裔的爪和牙，在严肃战斗中需依赖武器和武术。由于觉醒者严谨好奇的天性，他们往往成为格斗艺术的优等生… 这些艺术在很多层面都是魔法所涉及的心智纪律的体能反映。某些法师——尤其是黑衣人、善终杀手、狡猾巫师和道上的女巫——甚至以武术技能聚焦他们的秘艺，将气之能量和身体状态作为其魔法技法的工具。虽然空明秘艺道比典型武术还精炼强大得多——因此在下面详述——但空明修会不是唯一通过精心瞄准的拳头来聚焦魔法的法师（请看第580-581页的第十章描述的武术技法）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Lacking the claws and teeth of vampires and other Night-Folk, mages must rely upon weapons and martial arts in a serious fight. And given their disciplined and inquisitive natures, the Awakened often make excellent pupils for the fighting arts... arts that are, on many levels, physical reflections of the mental disciplines involved in magick. Certain mages – especially Black Suits, Thanatoic killers, crafty wizards, and street-savvy witches – even focus their mystic Arts through martial skills, utilizing chi energy and physical conditioning as tools for their arcane practices. Although the Akashic Art of Do is far more refined and potent than typical martial arts – and is therefore detailed below – the Akashayana aren’t the only mages who focus magick through a well-aimed punch. (See the Martial Arts practice described in Chapter Ten, pp. 580-581).

柔与刚

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Soft and Hard Techniques

　一些研习者将武术流派分为“柔”和“刚”：刚拳强调直接动作、进攻姿态、主动攻击和鲜明防御，而柔拳聚焦规避、流畅动作、误导和基于动力的技巧，用攻击者的能量对抗他自己。一派击打；一派流动。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Some practitioners describe “soft” and “hard” approaches to the martial arts: hard styles emphasize direct actions, aggressive stances, thrusting attacks, and sharp defenses, whereas soft styles focus on avoidance, fluid movements, misdirection, and momentum-based techniques that use an attacker’s energy against him. One approach strikes; the other flows.

　许多研习——尤其从各种研习中提取元素的混合武术——两种元素皆有。然而某些研习具有明显的刚拳成分（空手道、赛法斗、虎拳等），而其它在哲学和实践上都侧重于柔拳技法（合气道、咏春、柔道等）。正如以下一些条目所指出的，某些技巧在一派下比另一派更有效。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Many practices feature both elements, especially within mixed martial arts that take elements from various practices. Certain practices, however, have distinctly hard components (karate, savate, tiger-style, etc.), and others focus on a soft approach in terms of both philosophy and practice (aikido, wing chun, judo, and so forth). As some of the entries below point out, certain techniques work better with one style than they do with another.

　绝大多数研习远远超出了战斗技巧。如运动、杂技、冥想和秘传（具有如草药学、瑜伽、炼体、中国或阿育吠陀医学及各种哲学的专长）的额外技能，是许多武术基本训练的一部分。游戏上，一个角色应在此类技能上有几点，反映身体训练和技艺的精神及哲学基础。相关建议请看下面道部分的边栏道门八艺。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Most disciplines go far beyond combat maneuvers. Additional Abilities like Athletics, Acrobatics, Meditation, and Esoterica (with specialties like Herbalism, Yoga, Body Control, Chinese or Ayurvedic Medicine, and various philosophies) are part of the essential training for many martial arts. Game-wise, a character should have several dots in such Abilities, reflecting both the physical training and the spiritual and philosophical basis of the art. For suggestions, see the Eight Limbs of Expertise sidebar in the Do section below.

　以下技巧能被任何在武术技能上有几点的玩家所使用。武术上的每点能选2个武术技巧。某些高级技巧需最低技能；只有在相应技能中有相应点数的角色才能使用这些技巧。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The following maneuvers can be used by any character with a few dots in the Martial Arts Skill. For each dot in Martial Arts, you can choose two martial arts maneuvers. Certain advanced maneuvers demand a Minimum Ability; only characters with the appropriate dots in the appropriate Abilities may employ this maneuver.

可选规则：醉拳

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Optional Rule: Drunken Style

　善于观察的武术家模仿醉酒对猴子和其它灵长类（如人）的影响，意识到反应不清格斗者不可预测的本性。他们通过学会进入半催眠的醉酒心智，或训练成非常规地攻击，形成了一种极难理解的流派… 因此也极难防御。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Aping the effects of intoxication on monkeys and other primates (like people), watchful martial artists recognized the unpredictable nature of a blurry-reflexed fighter. By learning to enter semi-trance drunken mind states, or by training to attack off-beat, these martial artists formulated a style that’s incredibly hard to read... and thus, incredibly hard to defend against.

　以下可选规则允许研习醉拳（或空明圈子里的破坏节奏派（译注：现实中为李小龙开创的一种流派））采用这种不可预测的形式。他摆出懒散的醉汉姿态（请看成龙的醉拳系列），摆动、摇晃并滚动。武术家在赢得先手的任何回合中，做出任何攻击的难度+2，但任何试图格挡、闪躲、卸武或以其它方式反制这些攻击的角色的难度+3。然而这些优势并不适用于他失去先手的回合。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The following optional rule allows a practitioner of a drunken style (or, in Akashic circles, the Broken Rhythm School) to adopt this unpredictable form. Assuming the lolling drunken stance (see Jackie Chan’s Drunken Master films), he bobs, weaves, and rolls. In any turn in which he wins initiative, that martial artist adds +2 to the difficulty of any attack he makes, but he also adds +3 to the difficulty of any character who tries to block, dodge, disarm or otherwise counter those attacks. These advantages, however, do not apply in turns during which he loses initiative.

　战斗中用时间领域感知的防御者能反制此优势，照常躲避和防御；然而用心灵读心者无法这么做，因为连武术家自己都不清楚他下一步会做什么。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A defender who’s using Time Sphere perceptions during the fight can counter this advantage, dodging and defending normally; a Mind reader, however, cannot do so because not even the martial artist himself knows exactly what he’s going to do next.

　战斗者用醉拳武术时不一定要喝醉。然而为使用此选项，武术家须在武术或道上至少有3，且须有醉拳或破碎节奏派专长。普通格斗者——无论喝醉与否——都无法有效使用此武术。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The fighter doesn’t have to be drunk when using drunken style martial arts. In order to employ this option, however, the martial artist must have at least three dots in either Martial Arts or Do, and must take a specialty in either Drunken Style or Broken Rhythm School. Normal fighters – drunk or sober – cannot use such techniques effectively.

武术作魔法焦点

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Martial Arts as a Magickal Focus

　此节有普通武术的效果。为将此类技艺作为焦点，请再看第十章技法：焦点形态下的武术条目和上文的魔法与暴力条目。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　This section represents the effects of normal martial arts. To employ such arts as a focus, again see the Martial Arts entry under Practice: The Shape of Focus in Chapter Ten and the Magick and Violence entry earlier in the combat rules section.

　正如第六章可选规则：最低技能（请看第276页）所指出的那样，一个武术家法师，通过武术技巧使用的最高领域的点数，应等同她武术（若她用道，就是道）的点数。一个新手空手道家无论是不是法师，都不应能以她几乎不懂的技艺引导毁灭性的法术效应。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As noted in the Chapter Six entry Optional Rule: Minimum Abilities (see p. 276), a martial artist mage should have at least one dot in Martial Arts (or Do, if she uses Do) for every dot in the highest Sphere she uses through her martial arts techniques. Mage or no mage, a budding karateka should not be able to channel devastating magickal Effects through an art she barely understands.

　• 当身投：武术家用攻击者的动力对抗他自己，将其扔到最近的墙壁… 或地面… 或更糟。这是一种仍很有效的基础柔拳技巧。当武术家被攻击时，投对抗，敏捷+武术对攻击者的敏捷+肉搏、白刃或武术（取决于敌人用来攻击的技能）。若你投出的成功比攻击者多，那么你避开攻击，且可——立刻并无需分割骰池——尝试投掷他（如下）。若你投掷失败，仍避开攻击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Counter Throw: Directing an attacker’s momentum against him, the martial artist sends him flying into the nearest wall... or the ground... or worse. A basic soft-style maneuver, this remains an effective technique. When the martial artist is attacked, make a resisted roll of Dexterity + Martial Arts against the attacker’s Dexterity + Brawl, Melee, or Martial Arts (depending on the Ability that the opponent is using to attack). If you score more successes than your attacker does, then you deflect the attack and may – immediately and without having to divide up your dice pool – try to throw him (as below). If you fail the throw, you still sidestep his attack.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Throw: Having grappled her opponent (or used a counter throw, above), the martial artist slams him into a convenient surface. In game terms, the attacker needs a Dexterity + Martial Arts dice pool equal to, or higher than, her opponent’s Dexterity. With a successful roll, the martial artist can throw her opponent up to one yard for each success she scores on her attack roll.

　她只要在位置上能直射，就能选择敌人在哪儿落地。落地时承受力量个伤害。若他被扔出时正冲向她，撞击前每多冲10尺另多1骰伤害（上限10）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　So long as she’s got a straight shot at the location, she can choose where her opponent lands. When he lands, he takes damage based on her strength. If he’d been charging her at the time he was thrown, the impact also inflicts an additional +1 die for every 10 feet he’d been traveling at the time (+10 dice maximum).

　若撞击造成伤害（吸收后）多于3健康等级，敌人须投耐力（难度8），否则被击晕1回合。

　If the impact inflicts more than three health levels in damage (after soaking), the opponent must make a Stamina roll (difficulty 8) or else be stunned for one turn.

　若武术家把1个敌人扔到另1个上，飞翔的敌人造成（其耐力）骰冲击伤害，若此时1或2个敌人都在移动，那么因动力和撞击再加1骰（例如一个在被扔出前跑了20尺的耐力3坏蛋，会对他的同伴造成5骰冲击伤害）。把1个敌人扔到另1个上的投掷难度+2，但的确是一石二鸟。

　Should the martial artist throw one opponent into another one, the flying enemy inflicts one die bashing damage for each point of Stamina he has, plus one additional die for the momentum and impact if one or both of the opponents were moving at the time. (A Stamina 3 bad guy, for example, who’d just run 20 feet before being thrown would inflict five dice of bashing damage on his buddy.) Throwing one opponent into another one adds +2 to the roll’s difficulty for that throw, but it does indeed smash two birds with one throw.

　• Thunder Kick: A devastating flying kick. Hurling himself through the air, the martial artist focuses his chi and mass into a strike potent enough to end most fights immediately. In game terms, each success adds one additional die to the kick’s damage. A character cannot use the Thunder Kick more than once every five turns, however, as it demands intense focus and commitment to the blow.

鬼龙拳：龙魂功

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Kuei Lung Chuan: Dragon Spirit Kung Fu

　龙魂功作为巫龙虎派的秘传，特点是宽大、强悍的动作，结合了虎之愤怒和龙之优雅。游戏上，鬼龙拳为刚拳，炫目壮观，鼓励对生活与战争充满热情。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The secret discipline of the Wu Lung Tiger School, Dragon Spirit Kung Fu features broad, powerful movements that combine the fury of a tiger with the grace of a dragon. In game terms, Kuei Lung Chuan is a hard style, flashy and grandiose, that encourages a passionate approach to life and war.

　为反映鬼龙拳，来自巫龙——也仅限巫龙！——的角色可选择此形式的武术专长。角色和往常一样，武术特质每有1点能学最多2个技巧，杂技和白刃也会有几点。龙魂拳专注几种武器：中国剑、矛、杖和太极扇。一个虎派武术家能在白刃上选择鬼龙拳专长，投掷此技能出的10算作2而非1成功。杂技上同样的专长，能让武术家在于杂技行为上使用虎派训练时，获得这些额外成功。这些优势一同反映了龙魂功的宽泛研习。（详见第274页第六章的专长）

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　To reflect Kuei Lung Chuan, a character from the Wu Lung – and only from the Wu Lung! – may take a Martial Arts specialty in this form. As usual, that character can learn up to two maneuvers for each dot in the Martial Arts Trait and will have several dots in Acrobatics and Melee as well. The Spirit Dragon style concentrates on several weapons: the jian sword, the spear, the staff, and the war fan. A Tiger School martial artist can take a Kuei Lung Chuan specialty in Melee to count every 10 rolled with that Ability as two successes, not just one. Taking the same specialty in Acrobatics allows the martial artist to get those extra successes while employing his Tiger School training in his acrobatic feats. Together, these advantages reflect the grand discipline of Spirit Dragon Kung Fu. (For details, see Specialties in Chapter Six, p. 274.)

　鬼龙拳强调特定技法。被虎派训练的角色会有至少2种以下技巧，外加他决定学习的任何其它攻击，而上层研习者会习得这些技巧的绝大多数——若非全部：死亡击打、神龙摆尾、刚击、蛇步、雷鸣破和空手入白刃。巫龙当然也常用秘传功夫做施法焦点。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Kuei Lung Chuan emphasizes certain techniques. A character trained by the Tiger School will have at least two of the following maneuvers in addition to whichever other attacks he decides to learn, and upper-level devotees will have most, if not all, of these techniques: Death Strike, Dragon Tail Sweep, Hard Strike, Snake Step, Thunder Kick, and Withering Grasp. The Dragon Wizards, of course, often use their secret kung fu art as a mystic focus, too.

魔法决斗

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Magickal Duels

　当盟友法师需要解决普通战斗无法解决的争端时。虽然非致命决斗、摔跤比赛、比武竞技等历史悠久的仪式在某些团体仍流行，但法师——尤其有神秘背景者——在决斗手段上更偏爱秘艺而非武力。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When allied mages need to hash out a dispute, normal combat will not do. Although the time-honored rituals of non-fatal dueling, wrestling matches, martial arts sparring contests, and so on remain popular in certain groups, mages – especially ones from a mystic background prefer Arts over force when it comes to dueling techniques.

比赛

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Contests

　当优雅地展示优势似乎足以解决争端时，双方可以开展1次比赛。选择战场，比拼技能，找出谁是更棒的法师。这取决于团体、争端和对手，可采取多种形式之一。在此有几种建议：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　When a graceful display of superiority seems sufficient to resolve a dispute, the antagonists could share a contest. Pitting their skills against one another, these rivals choose a field of battle to find out which is the better mage. Depending on the group, dispute, and antagonists in question, this could take one of a number of forms. Here are a few suggestions:

　• 象棋比赛

　• 谜语比赛

　• 速度比赛（徒步、载具或用如飞行或传送等魔法方法）

　• 羞辱或吹牛比赛

　• 理论争论或一些类似辩论（在以太之子、赫耳墨斯、天国颂歌、智冕会、先祖原人和其它理性组织中流行）。

　• 身体力量、敏捷、耐久或试胆挑战（在女巫、萨满、混混和武术家中流行）。

　• 意志交锋（在偏爱心智或精魂修炼的法师中普遍存在）

　• 体育比赛（几乎任何人）

　• 发明比赛（科技法师最爱）

　• 寻宝游戏

　• 黑道追杀

　• 变形比赛

　• 收购比赛（辛迪加推销员喜欢）

　• 放荡比赛

　• 乐队比赛

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• A chess match

　• A riddle contest

　• An insult contest or bragging competition

　• A race (either on foot, in vehicles, or through magickal methods like flight or teleportation)

　• A juried argument of theories or some similar debate (popular among Etherites, Hermetics, Choristers, Solificati, Progenitors, and other cerebral sects)

　• A challenge of physical might, agility, endurance, or fearlessness (favored among witches, shamans, street-folks, and martial artists)

　• A psychic clash of wills (especially prevalent among mages who favor mental and spiritual discipline)

　• Sports matches (pretty much anyone)

　• Invention contests (a technomancer favorite)

　• Scavenger hunts

　• Crime sprees

　• Shape-changing rivalries

　• Acquisition contests (Syndicate reps love this one)

　• Debauchery dares

　• Battles of the bands

　所有这些比赛都通过富有想象的扮演和本章开头附近的戏剧行为表上的一些投掷来进行。社交、体能和艺术与科学行为最适合这种事，投掷基于决斗者同意作为战场的行动。这些行为常由持续骰（像在比赛一样，看谁先有最多成功）或持续及对抗骰（像在游戏或肉体对抗一样，看谁的技能和幸运胜出）决定。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　All of these contests play out through a combination of imaginative roleplaying and a few rolls off the Dramatic Feats chart near the beginning of this chapter. Social, physical, and art-and-science feats work best for this sort of thing, with the rolls based on the tasks that the duelists agree upon as a field of battle. Those feats tend to be decided by either extended rolls (to see who gets the most successes first, as in a race) or extended and resisted rolls (to see whose skill and luck prevails, as in games or physical confrontations).

　竞争者在任何比赛中都要事先商定赌注，一旦出胜负，输赢双方了结恩怨。然而每一方都可能会挑选几个目击者和相关助手，确保公平和正式地解决可能有的作弊。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In any contest, the disputants agree upon stakes beforehand, with the winner and loser settling their grudge once the contest has been won. Meanwhile, each side will probably pick out several witnesses and associated seconds to assure a fair and official resolution with – one hopes – a minimum of cheating.

磨难

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Ordeals

　古代习俗让双方敢于通过磨难般的考验来解决争端：都要承受痛苦经历，先放弃的失败。手拿烧红的铁；承受酷暑或严寒；不戴潜水设备从深水取回物品；承受双方同意的酷刑或身体改造而不喊叫；让自己和野兽、昆虫或精魂对抗… 所有这些和其它许多磨难都在各种文化中有荣誉地位。虽然现代法师常认为他们自己太过文明（读作：胆小）而不愿接受此类挑战，但珍惜身心活力的行愿者——萨满、女巫、极限运动者、武术家、欢喜宗、善终者和其他尊重部落文化者——欣然应对这种磨难。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Ancient customs dared rivals to settle their disputes through trial by ordeal: both rivals undertake a painful experience, and the one who gives up first loses the dispute. Handling hot irons; enduring intense heat or cold; retrieving objects from deep underwater without diving gear; suffering consensual torture or body modification without crying out; pitting one’s self against wild animals, insects, or spirits... all these ordeals, and many others, have places of honor in various cultures. And though modern mages often consider themselves too civilized (read: chicken) to submit to such challenges, willworkers who cherish physical and spiritual vitality – shamans, witches, extreme athletes, martial artists, Ecstatics, Thanatoics, and other people who venerate tribal cultures – tackle such ordeals gladly.

　游戏上，玩家要再利用戏剧行为表，这次倾向用体能行为表。抗性于此真正发挥了作用，因为它反映了角色承受痛苦和疲劳的能力。同样使用持续骰… 若决斗者正对另一方造成磨难，用持续和对抗骰。叙事人也可要求意志点骰——尤其在包括面对个人恐惧或可怕死亡的勇气的磨难上。环境危害一节描述了不幸境况和地形的影响。无论磨难细节，决斗双方也都可能受伤… 也许冲击，常是致命，甚至可能恶性。当挑战得到解决时，决斗者可能需要大量治疗、恢复或两者皆有。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In game terms, the players again utilize the Dramatic Feats chart, this time favoring the Physical Feats table. Resistance really comes into its own here, as it reflects a character’s ability to withstand pain and fatigue. Again, use extended rolls... extended and resisted, if the duelists are inflicting the ordeal upon one another. The Storyteller might require Willpower rolls as well, especially for ordeals that involve courage in the face of personal fears or spectacular demise. The Environmental Hazards section features the effects of unfortunate conditions and terrain. Regardless of the ordeal’s specifics, both duelists will probably suffer damage, too... probably bashing, often lethal, and perhaps even aggravated. By the time the challenge gets resolved, the duelists might need significant healing, recuperation, or both.

对骂大战和磁芯大战

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Flame Wars and Core Wars

　上文决斗方式的变种，让网民（通常但并不总是虚拟行者）以网络决斗或磨难互相对抗。在这种情况下使用和上文一样的系统，但行为是社交和智力而非体能上的。双方随着决斗进行可能需投意志点——持续（当面对嘲讽和蔑视时），或持续对抗（当他们正践踏彼此自尊时）。失败者失去几点暂时意志点，胜利者成为最后赢家。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A variation on the previous dueling styles pits netizens (often, but not always, Virtual Adepts) against each other in online duels or ordeals. In this case, the same systems used above come into play, but the feats are social and intellectual rather than physical. As the duel rages, the antagonists might need to make Willpower rolls – either extended (as when facing taunts and scorn), or extended and resisted (as when they’re tearing into one another’s self-esteem). Losers sacrifice temporary points of Willpower, and winners become the Last Ego Standing.

磁芯大战

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The Core War

　在磁芯大战——一种被虚拟行者喜爱的网络决斗传统——中，每个争执方建立1个魔素池的服务器核心，它被隔离于数位网络外，防止决斗的广泛感染。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In a core war – an Internet dueling tradition favored by the Virtual Adepts – each disputing party sets up a Quintessence-pool server core that has been partitioned outside the Digital Web as a whole, to prevent widespread infections from the coming duel.

　决斗一开始，双方编写病毒程序（智力+电脑，难度8）攻击对方服务器。他们在过程中，从自身能量——游戏上是魔素特质——中抽出1魔素，供给自身一部分，将其输入到病毒中。和下文描述的古典斗法风格一样，这些服务器和病毒能采用富有想象的形式；魔素服务器可建造得像地牢、电影景观、迷宫样办公室、全维度迷宫、复杂曼荼罗等。病毒能看上去像奇幻历险的英雄、卡通人物、昆虫类入侵者、愤怒小鸟、不满的办公室员工、几何风暴等… 所有都反映了进行决斗者的人格。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Once the duel begins, the antagonists write virus programs (Intelligence + Computer, difficulty 8) to attack the other servers. In the process, they invest a part of themselves into the virus by energizing it with a point of Quintessence from their personal energy – in game terms, from the Quintessence Trait. As with the classical certámen style described below, these servers and viruses can take imaginative forms; Quintessence servers might be built like dungeon levels, cinematic landscapes, maze-like offices, pan-dimensional labyrinths, complex mandalas, and so forth. The viruses can look like fantasy adventure heroes, cartoon characters, insectoid invaders, angry birds, disgruntled office workers, geometric storms, and so forth... all of which reflect the personalities of the people conducting the duel.

　随着决斗开始，病毒被送去攻击磁芯。沿途升级装置——能量药片、医疗包、水或火池等——能在攻击中补给并升级病毒战士。有这些升级装置的决斗者可再花1点个人魔素，升级他们的病毒英雄。游戏上这些点数能让决斗者改变战术或降低攻击难度。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As the duel begins, the viruses get sent off to attack the cores. Power-ups along the way – power pills, medical kits, pools of water or fire, etc. – can fuel and upgrade the virus warriors during the attack. With those power-ups, the duelists upgrade their viral champions by spending another point of personal Quintessence. In game terms, these points let a duelist change tactics or lower the difficulty of her attack.

　决斗者随着磁芯大战进行，能投持续和对抗骰。其一般来说如上所述，包含智力+电脑。但决斗者可改变战术——用不同特质新投次——也就是说，机敏+解码、机敏+电脑、感知+密码学等。每次改变投掷都需1魔素，但改变能调整骰池来偏向决斗者的强项。首先投出25成功的决斗者破坏磁芯，赢得战争… 也获得制造磁芯的魔素。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　As the core war continues, the duelists make extended and resisted rolls. Generally, that roll involves Intelligence + Computer, as mentioned above. A duelist might change his tactics, though, by making new rolls with different Traits – say, Wits + Enigmas, Wits + Computer, Perception + Cryptography, etc. Each change of rolls requires a Quintessence point, but the change can adjust the dice pool to favor a duelist’s strengths. The first duelist to score 25 successes breaches the core and wins the war... and gets the Quintessence that went into making that core, as well.

　因为磁芯战士将自身精髓注入到病毒和磁芯，所以他们也因战斗受伤。每次投掷失败都会死掉1个病毒，对决斗者自动造成1级冲击伤害，需要新1魔素才能让病毒重生。大失败造成致命伤害，因为死亡以系统冲击反冲到决斗者身上。虽然磁芯战争致死很罕见，但此类决斗者的确偶尔死亡。你知道那些电脑游戏迷被发现死在椅子上、双手紧握控制器或键盘的故事吗？现在你总算知道究竟发生了什么吧…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Because core warriors invest their essence into their viruses and cores, they take damage from the battle. Each failed roll indicates a death for the virus, which inflicts an automatic level of bashing damage on the duelist and requires a new point of Quintessence so that the virus can respawn. A botched roll inflicts lethal damage instead, as the death backlashes on the duelist as system shock. Although core wars to the death are rare, such duelists do occasionally die. Y’know those stories about computer game enthusiasts found dead in their chairs, the console or keyboard clutched in their hands? Now you know what really happened...

　对骂和磁芯大战的变种包括黑客挑战（系统入上文的比赛所述）或虚拟格斗；后者规则请看本章后面的数位网络部分。然而最近，虚拟行者和其他激进法师更喜爱最有成效的那种决斗…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Variations on flame and core wars involve hacking challenges (with systems as Contests, above) or virtual combat; for the latter rules, see the section on The Digital Web later in this chapter. More recently, however, both the Virtual Adepts and other activist mages have favored the most productive sort of duel...

现实挑战

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The Reality Challenge

　在一个亟需希望的世界，1次现实挑战会以最无私的方式解决争端：找到1个沉睡者中的问题，然后看谁能最好地修复它。战场本质上涉及1个需要改善的境况：犯罪猖獗的街区、饥荒、奴隶贸易链或毒贩战争、环境灾难，等等。第三方选择情况，提出一定数量的目标，胜利条件是必须实现它们。胜利的决斗者是成功在要求时间内达成最多目标者。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In a world that desperately needs hope, a reality challenge resolves a dispute in the most altruistic way possible: by finding a problem among the Sleepers, then seeing who can fix it best. Essentially, the field of battle involves a situation that cries out for improvement: a crime-ridden neighborhood, a famine, a slave trafficking ring or drug cartel war, an environmental catastrophe, and so forth. A third party picks the situation and then places a certain number of goals that must be fulfilled as victory conditions. The winning duelist is the one who manages to meet the most goals within the time required.

　一条主要规则主导着所有现实挑战：沉睡者绝对不能知道到底发生了什么。这迫使决斗者要聪明、微妙并隐秘——他们不能直接带着成捆食物飞起来，然后用几个精心抛出的火球消灭敌对组织。参加者中途也须在大众中激起希望和自立… 毕竟，若人们自己都无法被激发去改变，那么也不会真有改善。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　One major rule dominates all reality challenges: the Sleepers must not know what’s really going on. This forces the duelists to be clever, subtle, and secretive – they can’t simply fly in with bundles of food and wipe out warring factions with a few well-tossed fireballs. In the process, the contestants must also inspire hope and self-sufficiency among the Masses... after all, if the people themselves aren’t inspired to change, then very little has actually improved.

　决斗法师常被允许让人们看见他们，并与其互动，但不直接目击魔法。决斗者实际上成为了像天使、众神或英雄一样，行走于凡人间而不向人们揭露自己强大的真实本性。在目击的沉睡者面前公开施法，会让违规法师每次失去1个目标（并引发矛盾！），矛盾反冲会令决斗失败。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Dueling mages are usually allowed to let people see them and interact with them but not to directly witness magick in action. Essentially, the duelists become like angels, gods, or heroes, walking among mortals without revealing their powerful true natures to the people. Overt acts of magick in front of Sleeper witnesses cost the offending mage one goal per incident (as well as any Paradox incurred!), and a Paradox backlash forfeits the duel.

　由于现实挑战有利于人类整体，而不会使范式倾斜，宗派法师和技术官僚都能彼此分享现实挑战。根据传说，此类决斗起源于中世纪晚期欧洲、中国的红巾军起义… 可能两者皆有，可能都不是。征战组织努力改善普通人的命运，最后成为一个组织道德的合适测试。毕竟，根据推理，若一个法师或组织能赢得——正如人们所说的——民心，那么现实本身就会成为那个法师或组织价值的裁判。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Because a reality challenge benefits humanity as a whole without tilting the paradigm over a cliff, both mystics and Technocrats can share a reality challenge with one another. According to legend, such duels originated during the European late Middle Ages, the Red Turbans War in China... or perhaps both, or maybe neither. Warring factions would work to improve the lot of the common people, which in time became a suitable test for a faction’s virtue. After all, went the reasoning, if a particular mage or faction could win – as the expression goes – the hearts and minds of the people, then Reality itself would be the judge of that mage or faction’s worthiness.

　游戏上，现实挑战是故事饵，而非一串投掷。有关将世界变得更好的更多细节，请看第七章的升华：只能有一个吗？（第369-370页）和第十章的现实域（第611-617页）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In game terms, a reality challenge is a story hook, not a series of rolls. For more details about changing the world for the better, see Ascension: Can There be Only One? in Chapter Seven (pp. 369-370) and Reality Zones in Chapter Ten (pp. 611-617).

旧形式斗法

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Old Form Certámen

　评议会在更利己但字面上的传统层面上，具有悠久的斗法习俗——自中世纪以来，法师解决争端的正式决斗。这种形式的决斗在新千年罕见但很吸引人，包括一个大的魔法斗法环，它被刻在一个特别准备的仪式空间里，其在共识现实之外。此圆环须在穹域准备，因为决斗本身就是极其破则的魔法。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　On a more selfish but literally Traditional level, the Council has its longstanding custom of certámen – the formalized wizards’ duel that has resolved disputes since the medieval era. Rare but fascinating in the new millennium, this form of dueling involves a large, magickal certámen circle inscribed in a specially prepared ritual space outside of consensual reality. This circle must be prepared in a Horizon Realm, as the duel itself manifests exceedingly vulgar magick.

设定中的规则

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The Rules Within the Setting

　早期斗法常是巫师进入一个仪式环，然后用魔法力量轰击对方，直到有人投降或死亡。这种方式的明显问题令其不适合整个评议会。赫耳墨斯法师在至尊大议会时期，将其魔法比武审判改进成其他非赫尔墨斯法师能使用的形式，最好不会杀死对方。九宗在经过数十年调整后，达成了一种仪式化决斗法，吸取魔素而不造成身心创伤。这种合法形式的斗法成为了解决争端的官方方法。虽然老派巫师也仍用其它方法决斗，但剑盾形式的斗法，自十六世纪中期一直是法律标准。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Early forms of certámen usually involved wizards getting into a ritual circle and then blasting one another with mystic
might until somebody surrendered or died. The obvious problems with this method made it unsuitable for the Council as a whole. During the Grand Convocation era, Hermetic wizards refined their mystical trial by combat into a form that other non-Hermetic mages could employ, preferably without killing one another. After decades of adjustment, the Traditions arrived at a ritualized duel method that drained Quintessence without inflicting physical or psychological injury. This legal form of certámen became the official method for resolving disputes. Although old school-wizards continue to duel with other methods as well, the sword-and-shield form of certámen has been the legal standard since the mid-1500s.

　在正式的斗法竞技中，每1方同意条款，下注作为决斗奖励。然后双方进入1个特别准备的圆环，它被安排为可塑形、限制并引导魔法能量。由于这些炫目地破则的能量，所有正式的斗法环都须在穹域内制作。尝试在现世发动此类决斗的少数法师都被大量矛盾的夸张展现摧毁。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In official certámen matches, each party agrees to terms, putting up a stake as the prize for the duel in question. The rivals then enter a specially prepared circle that has been configured to shape, confine, and channel the mystic energies involved. Due to those spectacularly vulgar energies, all official certámen circles must be crafted within Horizon Realms; the few mages who’ve tried to wage such duels on Earth have been theatrically undone by massive Paradox displays.

　1场斗法比赛至少有2位对手、1个圆环、1到3名斗法法官，且常有1位观众。法官执行适当协议，确保双方都能接受决斗结果。比赛根据对手和情况，能以1个复杂仪式开始——精魂祈祷、参加者的祝福、宣读恩怨、观察礼仪、背诵头衔、赛前吹嘘等——1个简单介绍，或1个简单指令：“开打”。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　A certámen match features at least two antagonists, the circle, one to three Certámen Marshalls, and usually an audience. The Marshalls enforce the proper protocols and make sure that all sides abide by the duel’s outcome. Depending on the antagonists and circumstances involved, the match might open with an elaborate ritual – invocation of spirits, blessing of contestants, reading of charges, observation of etiquette, reciting of titles, pre-duel bragging, and so forth – a brief introduction, or a simple command: “Fight.”

　在决斗前的仪式中，每个决斗者将自身所有魔素倒入1个核心中：1个巨大的闪耀能量构成的球体或池子。若1个法师为决斗，持有塔斯或从盟友那儿借用了额外的魔素，她也要将其输入核心中。核心为决斗提供了目标。对手不攻击法师本人，而是其核心。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　During the pre-duel ceremonies, each combatant channels all her Quintessence into a single Locus: a large sphere or pool of shining energy. If a mage has Tass or receives a loan of additional Quintessence from her allies for the duel, she puts that into her Locus as well. The Locus provides a target for that duel. Rather than attacking the mage herself, the rival strikes at her opponent’s Locus instead.

　比赛一开始，一股魔法能量的穹顶于场地上升起，保护法官和观众不受错误能量的伤害。双方具象几个发光球体，法师越强，具象球体越多。每个决斗者于其中选择2个：1把剑 和1扇盾。剑攻击对手核心，盾保护法师自己的核心不受类似攻击。当一个决斗者耗尽对手核心的魔素时，比赛结束。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Once the match begins, a dome of mystic energy descends over the arena in order to protect the Marshalls and spectators from errant energies. Each antagonist manifests a number of glowing spheres; the more powerful the mage, the more spheres he manifests. From among them, each duelist selects two: a Gladius (sword) and an Aegis (shield). The Gladius attacks the opponent’s Locus, and the Aegis defends the mage’s own Locus from similar attacks. When one duelist has drained the rival’s Quintessence from his Locus, the match ends.

　一场直接的斗法比赛是两法师互掷球体。然而更常见的是，双方将他们的剑、盾、核心和其它球体制成精美、夸张而又常可怕的形状。决斗者以任性想象引导魔法能量，铸造狂野武器、凶猛生物、能量帷幕、元素风暴、巨大盾牌、声音爆发以及其它法师能想象的任何东西。斗法环允许决斗者将自身能量变成无数形态。两个技艺高超对手间的斗法比赛能成为难以置信的魔法烟火表演的展示… 对观众来说，给庄重程序增加了严肃的娱乐因素。

More often, however, the antagonists craft their Gladius, Aegis, Locus, and other spheres into elaborate, theatrical, and often fearsome shapes. Guiding mystic energies with willful imagination, the duelists forge wild weapons, ferocious creatures, curtains of energy, elemental tempests, titanic shields, bursts of sound, and whatever else the mage can imagine. The certámen circle allows its duelists to will their energies into infinite arrays
of form. A certámen match between two skilled opponents, then, can be an incredible display of occult pyrotechnics... which, for spectators, adds a serious entertainment factor to otherwise solemn procedures.

Dueling Systems

　假设决斗者在如此空间相遇，那么决斗本身使用如下系统：

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Assuming that the duelists meet in such a space, the duel itself employs the following systems:

　• 具象球体：决斗者一在圆环内相遇，他们每有1点魔峰就具象1个发光球体。例如一个有魔峰6的决斗者能具象最多6个发光球体。但1次只能用2个；其余保留，但它们也能显示出一种令人畏惧的优势（见下）。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Manifesting Spheres: Once the duelists meet inside the circle, they manifest one glowing sphere for each point of Arete the characters possess; a duelist with Arete 6, for instance, can manifest up to six glowing spheres. Only two of these spheres can be used at a time; the rest get kept in reserve, though they can also present an intimidating edge (below).

　这些发光球体表现法师的优秀（魔峰特质），而非专修（领域特质）。因此，一个魔峰5的决斗者即使只在3个领域上有点数，也能联结最多5个发光球体。

　These glowing spheres represent the mage’s excellence (her Arete Trait), not her expertise (her Spheres Trait). Thus, an Arete 5 duelist can conjure up to five glowing spheres, even if she has dots in only three Spheres on her character sheet.

　• 剑与盾：每个战斗者将1个发光球体作为剑，另1个作盾。1个攻击；另1个防守。因此，选中的球体就是法师领域特质之二——常是有最高等级的2个。每个决斗者都要决定想在哪个位置用哪个领域，这些决定反映战斗者的战术重点。

　• Gladius and Aegis: Each combatant takes one glowing sphere as his Gladius (sword), and another as his Aegis (shield). The first attacks; the other defends. In this case, the spheres chosen are two of the mage’s Sphere Traits – typically the ones with the highest ratings. Each duelist gets to decide which Sphere he wants to use for which position, and those decisions reflect a combatant’s tactical priorities.

　• 核心：每个战斗者也要把他或她的所有魔素（可能还有塔斯）具象进1个发光核心中。首个耗尽对手核心所有魔素的决斗者获胜。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Locus: Each combatant also manifests all of his or her Quintessence (and probably Tass as well) into a single glowing Locus. The first duelist to drain all of her opponent’s Quintessence from the Locus wins.

　• 先攻与战术：决斗随后进入3秒回合。每回合决斗者投先攻，可——每回合——从以下骰池选1个，作为先攻等级的基础（第399页）：

　- 敏捷+魔峰（反映速度）

　- 机敏+魔峰（反映思敏）

　- 意志点（反映纯粹的意志力）

　每个决斗者都能在新回合开头改变先攻骰，反映了战术改变。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Initiative and Tactics: The duel then moves into three-second turns. Each turn, the duelists roll initiative, and may choose – each turn – to select one of the following dice pools as the basis for their initiative rating (p. 399):

　- Dexterity + Arete (reflecting speed)

　- Wits + Arete (reflecting quick-wittedness)

　- Willpower (reflecting sheer force of will)

　Each duelist may change initiative dice at the beginning of a new turn, reflecting a shift of tactics.

　• 攻击：每回合，每个决斗者都能攻击。先攻最高的玩家先攻击，先攻低的后攻击。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Attack: Each turn, each duelist gets to attack. The player with the highest initiative attacks first, and the lower initiative attacks second.

　攻击者投机敏+剑领域或敏捷+剑领域，对抗难度为防守者的盾领域+3（例如盾为生命3，难度为6）。攻击者可分割骰池或用时间3魔法来在1回合中攻击数次。然而用时间3减慢敌人在斗法礼仪中被禁止；尝试此战术的战斗者自动输掉决斗。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The attacker rolls her Wits + Gladius Sphere or her Dexterity + Gladius Sphere against a difficulty of the defender’s Aegis Sphere + 3. (Aegis Life 3, for example, would be difficulty 6.) The attacker may divide her dice pool or employ Time 3 magick in order to attack several times within a single turn. Using Time 3 to slow your opponent down, however, is forbidden by certámen etiquette; a combatant who attempts this tactic automatically loses the duel.

　• 伤害与吸收：攻击者投出的每个成功会从防守者的核心中吸走1魔素，将其转移到自己的核心。防守者能投原质等级对抗难度6来吸收此伤害；每个成功减去攻击者总成功中的1个。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　• Damage and Soaking: Each success scored by the attacker drains one point of Quintessence from the defender’s Locus and transfers it to her own Locus. The defender can try to soak this damage by rolling his Prime rating against difficulty 6; each success deducts one success
from the attacker’s total.

　• 胜利：首个耗尽他或她敌人魔素核心的决斗者赢得斗法竞技。

　• Victory: The first duelist to drain his or her opponent’s Quintessence Locus wins the certámen match.

Shaping the Spheres

　发光的斗法球体数量反映了角色的魔峰特质点数，但剑与盾反映了角色的实际领域特质。当这些发光球体初次出现时，它们只是些法师想让它们看起来像什么就像什么的能量球。然而剑与盾具象了它们各自领域的法则。空间可看似空间中的扭曲颤动，而熵类似黑洞或鬼脸，力场像个风或火球，生命造出了一个潮湿能量的绿色球体，等等。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The number of glowing certámen spheres reflects a character’s Arete Trait rating, but the Gladius and Aegis reflect the character’s actual Sphere Traits. When they first appear, these glowing spheres are simply balls of energy that look like whatever the mage wants them to look like. The Gladius and Aegis, however, embody the principle of their respective Spheres; Correspondence could look like a quivering warp in space, whereas Entropy resembles a black hole or ghostly face, Forces conjures a ball of wind or fire, Life creates a green sphere of humid energy, and so forth.

　然而一旦发光球体被变出来，有创造力的决斗者（和玩家）就能将其塑形成他们希望呈现的形态。空间扭曲能成为多维分形剑或空间中的闪烁洞。熵可将自身塑形为拿着黑曜石镰刀的可怕骷髅事物，或撕开一个通往地狱的大门。力场可旋转成风暴，生命能成为龙或其它神秘生物。在斗法环内，可能性只局限于每位决斗者的想象。这些形状只是装饰——一个生命3的剑即使看上去像巨大有触手的眼球生物，它也还是生命3的剑——但它们能极有威慑力，并展示出每个决斗者的创造力。经验丰富的决斗者可能以他们令人回味的武器而出名，这些老专家的剑与盾领域可能都有代表形状。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Once the glowing spheres get conjured, however, creative duelists (and players) can shape them into whatever forms they wish to present. That Correspondence warp could become a polydimensional fractal sword or a coruscating hole in space. Entropy might shape itself into a ghastly skeleton-thing with an obsidian scythe or rip open a portal to an apparent hell. Forces could swirl into tempests, and Life could turn into dragons or other mythic creatures. Within the certámen circle, the possibilities are limited only by each duelist’s imagination. These shapes are purely cosmetic – a Life 3 Gladius is a Life 3 Gladius even if it looks like a giant, tentacled eye-creature – but they can be pretty damned intimidating and display each duelist’s creativity as well. Seasoned duelists might be known for their evocative weaponry, and these old pros probably have signature shapes for their Gladius and Aegis Spheres.

　其它发光球体和核心也能被重塑。一个真正高调的战斗者可变出一支跳舞的球体恶魔合唱团、一个闪烁液态火的核心、一个像燃烧恶魔剑的剑、一个像充满讥笑面庞的黑镜的盾。时髦的斗法球体能给最终也将参加斗法比赛的观众提供额外娱乐。虽然古老的决斗大师在如今或多或少地成了历史，传说仍记得卡隆·穆斯泰抽象设计的扭曲心智的几何图形、玛丽安娜性感艺术的肉感优雅、波尔托斯斗法的元素武器库的可怕力量。一个决斗法师当然可以就变出闪耀的能量球，而把戏剧性的东西留给她自负的同行… 但说实话，这有什么乐趣？

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　The other glowing spheres and the Locus can be reshaped as well. A really showy combatant might conjure a chorus of dancing sphere-imps, a Locus made of shimmering liquid fire, a Gladius like a flaming demon sword, and an Aegis like a black mirror filled with sneering faces. Stylish certámen spheres can provide extra entertainment for the crowd that inevitably attends a certámen match. Although the old dueling masters are more or less history in the current age, tales still recall the mind-wrenching geometry of Caeron Mustai’s abstract designs, the lusty grace of Marianna’s sensual artistry, and the awful force of Porthos Fitz-Empress’s elemental certámen arsenal. Sure, a dueling mage could simply conjure shimmering balls of energy, and leave the theatrics to her egotistical peers... but really, where’s the fun in that?

环境危害

Environmental Hazards

　这个世界即使没有公开暴力，也是个危险之地。从火焰到洪水再到人们为了有趣、利益或报复而服下的无数毒药，死亡仍是人类境况中不可或缺的因素。即使在觉醒者中，绝大多数苦难和死亡并不来自暴力，而是我们周遭的世界。因此当你的角色乘着旋风或在火焰上行走时，一些系统能告诉你他们是否且如何存活。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Even without overt violence, the world is a dangerous place. From fire to flood to the various toxins people ingest for fun, profit, or revenge, mortality remains an inescapable element of the human condition. Even among the Awakened, most suffering and death comes not from violence but from the world around us. So when your characters ride the whirlwind or walk on fire, a handful of systems can tell you if and how they survive.

　环境危害的游戏数值能在（第454页）开始的环境危害表中找到。以下是一般规则。

　The by-the-numbers game effects of environmental hazards can be found on the Environmental Hazards charts, starting on (p. 454). The general rules appear below.

恶劣天气和环境

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Harsh Weather and Environments

　现代人被宠坏了。我们的房屋和车辆抵挡了极端天气的最糟影响。但在全球气候变化的时代，即使是这些奢侈品也无法拯救我们。你无法给农场装空调，或开丰田普锐斯爬圣山。尤其对于来自我们世界的街头、沙漠和荒野的法师来说，冷热的影响能成为重要的故事要素。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Modern-era man is spoiled. Our houses and vehicles keep out the worst effects of extreme weather. But in an age of global climate change, not even those luxuries can save us. You can’t air-condition a farm, or scale a holy mountain in a Prius. Especially for mages from the streets, deserts, and wilderness of our world, the effects of heat and cold can be vital story elements.

　除最极端的情况外，恶劣天气会以叙述和基于如结冰路面、瓢泼大雨、大风、惊人湿度等情况的难度或骰池罚值（在1到3个因素间）——请看战术和情况（第417页）下的恶劣天气或地形——出现。骰池减少反映被中暑或发抖削弱的角色的状态，难度提高表现环境挑战——雾、霜、沙、丛林等。像冰滩、水坑或闪电等随机危险当然也是恰当的。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In all but the most extreme conditions, harsh weather comes through in narration and difficulty or dice-pool penalties (between one and three factors) based upon conditions like icy roads, driving rain, high winds, staggering humidity, and so on – see Rough Weather or Terrain under Combat Tactics and Circumstances,(p.417). Dice-pool reductions reflect the state of a character who’s weakened by heatstroke or shivering, whereas increased difficulties represent environmental challenges – fog, frost, sand, jungle, and so forth. Random hazards like ice patches, sinkholes, or lightning bolts are certainly appropriate too.

　真正危险的情况（干涸沙漠、高于120度或低于冰点的温度、飓风强度的风、冰暴等）可对呆在其中的角色造成冲击伤害。在不同间隔下——每小时1次、2次甚至可能是3或4次在真正极端情况下——角色除非投耐力抵抗这些影响，否则受1级冲击伤害（请看戏剧行为表体能类下的抵抗行为）。但她无法以其它方式吸收它——这就是耐力骰的作用。此伤害和其它冲击攻击一样，若角色伤势够重，就能杀死她。环境保护装备能加到耐力骰上（一般1-3骰），但笨重、磨损或其它不合适的装备（如在沙漠戴护甲或暴雪中赤裸）可对骰造成罚值——除非角色已适应这些情况。生命2魔法能抵御这些影响（当然，假设已施展适当法术），秘传专长炼体也行（请看第285页第六章的边栏），或背景历史含适应这些元素的角色，如因纽特人适应寒冷条件。然而即便如此，某些极端情况——如在南极洲赤裸或在死亡谷裹皮毛旅行——可能依叙事人选择推翻部分或所有保护。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Truly dangerous conditions (parched deserts, temperatures above 120 degrees or below freezing, hurricane-force winds, ice storms, and so forth) may inflict bashing damage on characters who remain outside in them. At various intervals – once per hour, twice an hour, possibly even three or four times an hour in truly extreme situations – a character suffers one health level in bashing damage unless she makes a Stamina roll to resist those effects. (See the Resisting feat on the Physical spectrum of the Dramatic Feats chart.) She cannot soak it otherwise, though – that’s what the Stamina roll is doing. As with other bashing attacks, this damage can kill a character if she’s injured badly enough. Environmental protection gear can add to the Stamina roll (generally between one and three dice), but bulky, exhausting, or otherwise unsuitable gear (like wearing armor in a desert or being naked in a blizzard) may inflict penalties on the roll unless the character has already acclimated to those conditions. Life 2 magick can protect against those effects (assuming that an appropriate spell has been cast, of course), as can the Esoterica specialty Body Control (see that sidebar, Chapter Six, p. 285) or a character whose background history includes being conditioned to those elements, as an Inuit would be to cold conditions. Even then, however, certain extremes – like being nude in Antarctica or wrapped in furs for a trip through Death Valley – may override some or all of that protection at the Storyteller’s option.

　致死情况——如高度真空或深海压力——造成致命伤害。1个成功的生命3效应能保护不受此类环境影响，但其它办法不能。此类伤害常有1刻钟间隔，虽然一些危险——浓烟、沸腾液体、毒气、压溃压力——能在数分钟甚至数秒内杀人。强烈辐射造成恶性伤害并能在数秒、分钟、小时或天内杀人——取决于辐射本质和影响强度。

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　Deadly situations – like hard vacuum or deep-sea pressure – inflict lethal damage instead. A successful Life 3 Effect would protect against such environments, but the other methods won’t. Such damage usually involves quarter-hour intervals, although some hazards – thick smoke, boiling liquid, toxic gases, crushing pressure – can kill in minutes or even seconds. Intense radiation inflicts aggravated damage and can kill in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, depending on the nature of the radiation and the intensity of its effects.

　角色在合适环境中，可能能以制造庇护所、装备或两者皆有，来避免部分或绝大部分影响。成功投次生存（或城市生存，用于城市环境）——也许背靠一些相关魔法——能帮她制造此类保护——只要她有东西可用。若你知道自己在做什么的话，在加拿大荒野制造防寒庇护所会相当容易。可核爆城市中的辐射防护？就不那么简单了…

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

　In suitable surroundings, a character may be able to avoid some or most of those effects by constructing shelter, gear, or both. A successful Survival (or Urban Survival, for city environments) roll – perhaps backed up by some related magick – can help her manufacture such protection, so long as she’s got something to work with. Making a cold-weather shelter in the Canadian wilderness would be fairly easy if you knew what you were doing. Radiation shielding in a nuked city, though? Not quite so easy...
