引述:皇庭英豪《Heroes of The High Court》女巫变体-守望女巫(Witch-Watcher)『我们失去的东西到最后总有一种方式回到我们身边,只不过方式可能并不如期望那样而已』
——卢娜·洛夫古德,《哈利波特》在格拉里昂上到处都有为贵族提供庇护的守望女巫,而这些家伙这样做的个中缘由只有他们自己清楚。守望女巫在瓦瑞西亚和伊利森可以公开现身,而在布雷斡,蒙蒂维,河域诸国和乌斯塔拉夫等地则潜伏在宫廷阴影内暗中观察——在那里他们的存在几乎难以被容忍。削弱施法(Diminished Spellcasting):守望女巫每法术等级每日可使用法术数量比平常的女巫少1个。如果该级获得的每日法术量为0,那么他就只能依靠智力修正带来的额外施法数量以使用该级的法术。
这调整了女巫的施法能力。守望誓约(Covenant Ally,Su):守望女巫在每天准备法术时可以和自己的庇护主立下盟约以此为单一生物提供庇护,这个生物被称为女巫的守望对象。当守望对象在30尺距离内,守望女巫可以通过一个标准动作选择下列能力中的一个并赐予守望对象,每项能力的持续时间等同于守望女巫的智力修正的分钟数。守望女巫每天能给予守望对象能力的次数上限等同于1/2女巫等级(至少为1)。
健康(Health):守望对象得到一定量的临时HP,其数量等同于守望女巫的等级+其智力修正(至少为1)。通过此能力得到的临时HP无法互相叠加,重复赐予守望对象该能力只会让临时HP总量和持续时间重置。
防护(Safeguard):守望对象在AC上得到偏斜加值,或者在豁免上得到抗力加值,其数值均等同于1/2守望女巫等级(至少为1)。当被赐予这项能力后,得到的奖励加值可以根据守望女巫的意愿在AC和豁免上进行分配,各自最大可以享有+5的奖励加值。
慰藉(Solace):守望女巫通过一次成功的解除魔法检定可以暂时中断守望对象身上的一个法术效果,正如他使用了解除魔法一样。该能力可以在等同于守望女巫智力修正轮数(至少为1)内压制一个法术效果。如果这个法术影响的是复数生物,则该能力只能对守望对象生效。能力持续时间过去后,该法术效果将会恢复,并且被压制的轮数不算入法术的持续时间内。这项能力对那些立即生效或者持续时间是永久的法术无效。
抗法(Spell Resistance):守望对象得到了等同于6+守望女巫等级数的法术抗力,持续时间等同于守望女巫智力修正的轮数。在10级时,得到的法术抗力增加到11+守望女巫等级数。该法术抗力无法被压制,但不会影响由守望女巫所释放的法术。
劇透 - 原文:
Witch-Watcher(Witch Archetype )
For reasons known only to them, witch-watchers offer protection to nobles across Golarion. While they serve openly in Irrisen and Varisia, they watch from the shadows in courts in Brevoy, Mendev, the River Kingdoms, and Ustalav, where their presence is barely tolerated.
Diminished Spellcasting: A witch-watcher gains one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to zero, she can cast spells of that level only if her Intelligence score is high enough to grant bonus spells of that level. This alters the witch’s spellcasting.
Covenant Ally (Su): Once per day when preparing her spells, a witch-watcher makes a covenant with her patron to provide protection to a single creature, known as her covenant ally. As a standard action when her covenant ally is within 30 feet, a witch-watcher can grant it one of the abilities listed below. Unless otherwise noted, each ability lasts for a number of minutes equal to the witch-watcher’s Intelligence modifier. She can grant a number of abilities per day equal to 1/2 her witch level (minimum 1).
Health: The covenant ally gains a number of temporary hit points equal to the witch-watcher’s witch level + her Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). The temporary hit points from this ability do not stack with themselves, but additional uses cause the total number of temporary hit points and the duration to reset.
Safeguard: The covenant ally gains a deflection bonus to AC or a resistance bonus on saving throws equal to 1/2 the witch-watcher’s witch level (minimum 1). When given, this bonus can be divided between the AC and saving throws as the witch-watcher wishes, up to a maximum of +5 for either.
Solace: The witch-watcher temporarily disrupts a spell affecting her covenant ally by succeeding at a dispel check against the spell, as per dispel magic. The ability suppresses a spell effect for a number of rounds equal to the witch- watcher’s Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). If the spell affects multiple creatures, this ability suppresses the spell effect only for the covenant ally. At the end of this duration, the spell resumes and the suppressed rounds do not count against its total duration. This ability has no effect on spells that are instantaneous or have a duration of permanent.
Spell Resistance: The covenant ally gains spell resistance equal to 6 + the witch-watcher’s witch level for a number of rounds equal to the witch-watcher’s Intelligence modifier. At 10th level, the spell resistance increases to 11 + the witch-watcher’s witch level. The spell resistance cannot be suppressed, but it doesn’t affect spells cast by the witch-watcher.
