第八章.灵能怪物
PSIONIC MONSTERS --- CHAPTER EIGHT
本章所介绍的不仅是具有心灵异能的怪物，还包括星质构装体和其他一些虽然自身不具有异能，但对于灵能人物有特殊联系的生物。有关特殊攻击和特性的详细说明请参照《怪物图鉴》中的概论。
This chapter introduces not only psionic-monsters, but also astral constructs and other creatures that, while not psionic themselves, are of particular interest to prionic characters. Detailed explanations of special attacks and special qualities are in the Introduction of the Monster Manual.
PSIONIC CREATURES
灵能生物
灵能生物看上去可能和同种类的普通生物常见的模样没什么不同，但他们拥有潜在的精神力量。这些生物可以由在现有物种上添加“灵能模版”的途径创造出来。一个非灵能生物可以获得心灵术士或心灵武士等级，但这样的生物并不能算天生具有灵能，因此不能归入这个定义。另一方面，对于一个真正的灵能生物(那些拥有灵能模版的)，在获得心灵术士或心灵武士等级上并没有什么限制。
Psionic creatures may look no different from standard creatures of a given type, but they harbor mental might. They are created by adding a "psionic template" to an existing creature. A nonpsionic creature could take psion or psychic warrior as a class, but such a being is not intrinsically psionic and would not fall under this definition. On the other hand, nothing prevents a true psionic creature (one with the psionic template) from also choosing the psion or psychic warrior class.
《怪物图鉴》当中介绍了一小部分以“灵能”作为特殊攻击或特性的灵能生物(比如夺心魔)。这些怪物被视作已拥有灵能模版；更多的指导请见表8-1“灵能模板”中的说明正文。此外，有些灵能生物具有一些在第5章“异能详述”中没有列举到的独特能力。
The Monster Manual introduces a few psionic creatures (such as the mind flayer) that have "psionics" as a special attack or a special quality. These monsters are considered to already have the psionic template; see the explanatory text for Table 8-1: The Psionic Template for more guidance. Additionally, some psionic creatures exist that possess unique abilities not found in Chapter 5: Powers.
表8-1：灵能模版
生命骰数 心灵异能 心灵攻击模式 心灵防御模式 异能抗力
1--3 1 1# 1 --
4--7 3 2# 2 --
8--12 6 3# 3 --
13--15 9 4# All 15
16+ 13 All All 25
*独特的灵能生物(比如《怪物图鉴》中描述过的那些)掌握的异能数目有可能与他们的记载所示的不同(例如，一个couatl拥有7个异能，而非表中的6个)。特殊的灵能生物也可能忽视对已知异能等级的一般限制。(见下文)
**《怪物图鉴》中的灵能生物也按照此模版所述获得心灵攻击和防御模式，即使在他们的记载中未提到这方面的内容。
#生命骰数在15以下的灵能生物不能习得心灵爆破，除非他们属于灵吸怪类。
##《怪物图鉴》中的灵能生物有与他的法术抗力(SR)相等的异能抗力(PR)，如果有的话。那些没有法术抗力的即使在生命骰数达到13或者更多的情况下，也无法获得异能抗力。

*Unique psionic creatures (such as those described in the Monster Manual) possess the number of powers noted in their entry when it differs from this value (for example, a couatl has the seven powers noted for it, not six as this table would indicate). Unique psionic creatures may also ignore normal restrictions to a known power's level (see below).
**Psionic creatures in the Monster Manual do gain psionic attack and defense modes as noted here, even though their entry does not mention these.
#Creatures of less than 15 HD never have mind blast unless they are illithidkin.
##Psionic creatures in the Monster Manual have power resistance (PR) equal to their spell resistance (SR), if any. Those without spell resistance never gain power resistance, even if they have 13 or more Hit Dice.
创造灵能生物
CREATING A PSIONIC CREATURE
“灵能”是一个可以加诸在任何一个尚未拥有心灵异能模型的物种(以下简称为“基础生物”)上的模版。
一个灵能生物沿用基础生物的所有统计资料和特殊能力，除了此处特别提出的。
“Psionic” is a template that can be added to any creature that does not already possess a psionic template (referred to hereafter as the “base creature”).
A psionic creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
特殊攻击：一个灵能生物保留起基础生物所有的特殊攻击，并且仍可按照基础生物的生命骰数继续获得其他特殊攻击。
Special Attacks: A psionic creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following, according to the base creature’s Hit Dice.
心灵异能(SP)：一个灵能生物掌握指定数量的心灵异能，这些异能可以从第五章：异能详述中选择，并可以随意施展。异能等级不能超过角色的生命骰数+2(因此，一个生命骰1的角色可以拥有3级异能飞行术，但不能拥有4级异能腐蚀之触)。灵能生物可以免费展现所知异能，而且不需要达到展现该异能所要求的能系相关关键属性值。其他方面则需要遵从显能的标准规则(因此一个关键属性很低的生物可能展现出具有令人惊讶的低 DC的异能)。
Psionic Powers (Sp): A psionic creature possesses the indicated number of psionic powers, chosen from those described in Chapter 5: Powers, which it can manifest at will. The power’s level can be no more than the creature’s Hit Dice +2 (thus, a 1-HD psionic creature might possess the 3rd-level power fly but not the 4th-level power dissolving touch). Psionic creatures freely manifest their powers but do not need a minimum score in the key ability for a given discipline. They otherwise follow the standard rules for manifesting (so a creature with a poor key ability score could manifest a power with a surprisingly low DC).
心灵攻击/防御模式(Su)：一个灵能生物可以在各包含5项的心灵战斗模式中掌握一定数量的心灵攻击和防御模式，但如上文所述，心灵爆破例外。生物发动心灵攻击或防御模式不需要支付灵能点，并且能免费展现之。灵能生物在其他方面遵循关于心灵战斗的所有规则(参见第四章“灵能综述”)。
Psionic Attack/Defense Modes (Su): A psionic creature possesses the indicated number of attack and defense modes from the five of each available, with the exception of mind blast as stated above. The creature does not pay power points to activate a psionic attack or defense mode but freely manifests it. Psionic creatures otherwise follow all the rules for psionic combat (see Chapter 4: Psionics).
异能抗力(Ex)：一个灵能生物可以根据起生命骰数拥有异能抗力(PR)。异能抗力和法术抗力在对抗魔法和心灵异能时效果是相同的(除非使用的是“灵能异与魔法”变体规则)。
Power Resistance (Ex): A psionic creature may have power resistance (PR) as noted for its HD. Power resistance and spell resistance are equally effective against both magic and psionics (unless the Psionics Are Different option is used).
特性：一个灵能生物保留其基础生物的所有特性并且可以获得心灵感应。
Special Qualities: A psionic creature retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains telepathy.
心灵感应(Su)：一个灵能生物可以以心灵感应的方式和100尺内任何会至少一种语言的生物交流。
Telepathy (Su): The creature can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.
检定：与基础生物相同。
Saves: Same as the base creature.
属性：与基础生物相同。
Abilities: Same as the base creature.
技能：与基础生物相同。
Skills: Same as the base creature.
专长：与基础生物相同。
Feats: Same as the base creature.
气候/地型：与基础生物相同。
Climate/Terrain: Same as the base creature.
组织：与基础生物相同。
Organization: Same as the base creature.
挑战级数：3生命骰以下，按基础生物+1。4--7生命骰，按基础生物+2。8--15生命骰，按基础生物+3。16生命骰以上，按基础生物+4。
Challenge Rating: Up to 3 HD, as base creature +1. 4--7 HD, as base creature +2. 8--15 HD, as base creature +3. 16+ HD, as base creature +4.
特别注意：有一个以上头部的生物，比如多头蛇蜥，一般只按一个生物来获取心灵异能，而不是多个生物。例如，对一只灵能多头蛇蜥使用心灵攻击模式将对此生物整体造成影响。同样地，一只灵能多头蛇蜥每轮也只能发动一次心灵攻击模式。当然，例外总是可能的(例子：参见“土当归根”条目)。
Special Note: Creatures with more than one head, such as a hydra, usually possess the psionic powers of just one creature, not many. For instance, using an attack mode against a psionic hydra affects the creature as a whole. Likewise, a psionic hydra can only use one attack mode per round. Of course, exceptions are possible (see the Udoroot entry for an example).
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
变体规则：灵能生物每天可自由展现他们已知的异能和战斗方式各3次。它们会交错的使用其所知的战斗模式。当灵能怪物作为角色出现时本变体规则总是适用。
Variant: Psionic creatures freely manifest each of their known powers and combat modes 3/day. Creatures may swap out usages of combat modes they know. Always use this variant for characters who play psionic monsters.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
灵能亡灵生物
Undead Psionic Creatures
灵能亡灵生物虽然很稀有，但仍是一种应该被纳入考虑中的力量。它可以使用心灵攻击模式(而且灵能亡灵生物喜欢用这种手段攻击活物)，但仍需要学习心灵防御模式，因为亡灵生物也会因心灵攻击模式而受到属性伤害。
亡灵生物没有体质属性。不过，不死生物可以使用心灵转化系异能——但它们以魅力调整值作为该系异能的关键属性调整值。另外，亡灵生物不能使用心灵自塑系异能，因为他们没有新陈代谢。
由于亡灵生物对影响心灵的效果免疫，它们对其他灵能生物和角色(特别是传心者)来说尤其危险。但是，灵能亡灵类生物仍可以对活物使用影响心灵的异能。
A psionic undead creature, although rare, is a force to be reckoned with. It can use psionic attack modes (and psionic undead relish attacking the living in this fashion), but also must learn defense modes, since undead take ability damage from psionic attacks modes.
Undead creatures have no Constitution score. However, undead can use Psychokinesis powers --- but they substitute their Charisma ability score as the key modifier with these powers. Additionally, undead cannot use Psychometabolism powers, as they have no metabolism.
Because undead are immune to mind-influencing effects, they are particularly threatening to other psionic creatures and characters (especially the telepath). Psionic undead beings can still use mind-influencing powers on the living, however.
