首先是CM上的Wu Jen无敌技
TRANSCEND MORTALITY
Transmutation
Level: Wu jen 9
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 immediate action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
You feel your body surge with mystic power that rivals that of the gods themselves.
Transcend mortality was created as a lastditch effort, a spell to use when all other options have failed. For the duration of the spell, you are all but indestructible. You gain the following benefits:
• Damage reduction 30/epic.
• Spell resistance equal to 21 + your caster level.
• Acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic resistance 50.
• Immunity to ability damage, disease, energy drain, poison, and death effects.
• +10 enhancement bonus on all saving throws.
• You do not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
Although this spell makes you effectively unkillable for the duration, that comes at a horrific price. You gain these benefits by using up all your remaining life force. When the spell ends, you are instantly slain and reduced to a pile of dust (as disintegrate). This effect allows no save and can't be prevented by any means, though you can be resurrected normally afterward.
然后是HOH上的信春哥法术:
PACT OF RETURN
Necromancy
Level: Cleric 7, Spite 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level
This spell allows you to establish the conditions whereby you will be brought back to life upon your death.
When you cast pact of return, you must state either a specifi c creature or a set of specific circumstances that you expect will be responsible for your death at some point within the spell’s
duration. If you name a creature, that creature does not have to deal the deathblow to trigger the release of the spell, but it must play an active part in your demise. If you name a set of circumstances,
those circumstances must be reasonably specifi c or the spell will fail, leaving you well and truly dead.
An acceptable set of circumstances would be, “I expect energy draining to play a pivotal role in my demise,”whereas an unacceptable set would be, “I expect to die from loss of hit points.” The DM decides whether the terms are acceptable.
Whether the subject of your demise is a specific person or a specific source, you must die (that is, reach
–10 hit points or lower) for the spell to take effect. If you do, and the circumstances of your demise are similar enough to those described when you cast the spell (DM’s discretion), you are instantly resurrected (see page 272 of the Player’s Handbook) with no level loss.
问题来自于HOH上的法术描述,虽然法术的触发条件里可以有因失去HP而死这一项,也就是说也可以是不是因为失去HP而死(比如那个energy drain效果我认为就包括获得负向等级而死),但是下面在“你必须死去”后的括号里又说“即是HP降到-10或更低”。
所以我的问题就是,各位认为应当如何解释这个法术(因为没有ERRATA)。如果是任何死亡效果都可以生效的话,那么应该是在Transcend Mortality结束后应可原地复活(明确说了是resurrection效果)。
