引述:野兽血脉《Blood of the Beast》歌者变体-红舌(Red tongue)『推测可不是一种好的投资方式,同样也不是一种好的政治手段』
——雷蒙德,《纸牌屋》在昆莱这个新兴的天狗国度,政客们关于如何统治和引导千年来一直向其他国家俯首称臣的民众的争辩永无休止。而天狗本身追求一夜繁荣以及善于修辞的天性更是让这场辩论越发复杂。因此该环境下的政治俱乐部都是被热血的煽动者所主导——同伴们都会礼貌地称呼他们为红舌。红舌通过在明地煽动情绪以及暗中行使魔法以掌控政坛。大部分在长山的政治辩论都以暴力的斗殴和大胆的决斗告终。大演讲家(Great Orator):红舌只能通过表演(演讲)来启动其战怒之歌的表演能力。同时在2级时,红舌在选择多才多艺表演技能时必须选表演(演讲)。
这调整了战怒之歌和多才多艺能力。播种纷争(Seed of Discord,Su):红舌那激进的愿景激发了本能深处的知识,并将奥术力量注入到自己的声明和谴责里。红舌在达到对应等级时能获得以下奖励法术:1级,丧志术(doom)
(原文是”doom,APG”,怀疑大麻);2级,严加斥责(Castigate,APG);3级,魅惑怪物(charm monster);4级,谴责(denounce,APG);5级,高等命令术(greater command);6级,群体鹰之威仪(mass eagle’s splendor)。
激怒(Rile,Ex):红舌非常擅长激怒对方以让其采取行动,即使对其一无所知也是如此。他在进行欺骗或出于隐藏自身动机的唬骗检定以及通过威吓让生物改善态度的检定上获得等同于1/2的职业等级加值。
这项能力替代逸闻知识(bardic knowledge)。盗贼天赋(Rogue Talents,Ex):7级时,红舌可以选择一项盗贼天赋,并将其职业等级视作盗贼等级。他无法选择那些先决条件里包含红舌所不具有的职业特性的盗贼天赋,或是那些对其不具有的职业特性造成修改的盗贼天赋,比如偷袭等。同时他必须满足所选天赋的全部先决条件。在7级之后的每5级,红舌可以获得一项新的盗贼天赋。
这项能力替代其能在7级,12级,和17级获得的多才多艺。狡诈辞令(Duplicitous Rhetoric,Su):7级时,当红舌启动战怒之歌时,他能选择单一已知的盗贼天赋,并将其赋予所有处于其激发狂暴效果影响下的生物。如果该盗贼天赋有每天使用次数限制,那每一个被赋予该盗贼天赋的生物只能使用1次该天赋并且在24小时内无法再从战怒之歌里面获得额外使用次数,即使红舌停止演奏然后重新启动战怒之歌也不行。
劇透 - 原文:
Red tongue (Skald Archetype )
In the young tengu nation of Kwanlai, politicos argue endlessly over how best to rule and guide a people who have been parasites and vassals to other nations for millennia. The tengu tendency toward dramatic flourishes and rhetoric only complicates this debate, creating an environment in which political clubs led by hot-blooded firebrands—referred to as red tongues in polite company—dominate the political scene by swaying emotions in the moment and wielding magic in the shadows. Many political debates in Hisuikarasu end in violent brawls or daring duels.
Great Orator: A red tongue can activate his raging song performances only by using the Perform (oratory) skill. He must select Perform (oratory) as his versatile performance choice at 2nd level. This ability modifies the raging song and versatile performance abilities.
Seed of Discord (Su): The fiery outlook of the red tongue imparts instinctual knowledge to invest arcane energy into his proclamations and denouncements. The red tongue gains the following bonus spells known as he reaches the appropriate level to cast each spell: doom APG (1st), castigate APG (2nd), charm monster (3rd), denounce APG (4th), greater command (5th), mass eagle’s splendor (6th).
Rile (Ex): The red tongue is particularly skilled at provoking others to action, even when ignorant on a subject. He adds 1/2 his skald level on Bluff checks to deceive or conceal his motives and on Intimidate checks to improve a creature’s attitude. This ability replaces bardic knowledge.
Rogue Talents (Ex): At 7th level, the red tongue learns a rogue talent of his choice, treating his skald level as his rogue level. He cannot select a talent that requires or modifies a class feature he does not have (such as sneak attack), and he must meet all other prerequisites. For every 5 skald levels beyond 7th, he gains a new rogue talent. This ability replaces the versatile performance selections normally gained at 7th, 12th, and 17th levels.
Duplicitous Rhetoric (Su): At 7th level, when a red tongue begins a raging song, he can select a single rogue talent he knows and grant it to all creatures under the influence of his inspired rage. If a rogue talent is limited to a certain number of uses per day, each creature affected is limited to a single use and cannot gain additional uses from a raging song for 24 hours, even if the red tongue ends his raging song and starts again.
