这个问题早就遇到过,当时请教过高手A和高手B,他们意见不一,然而此后我一直忘了再问>_<
以下是3R黑暗术(Darkness)的法术描述:
This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.
Normal lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of brightening the area, as are light spells of lower level. Higher level light spells are not affected by darkness.
If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or under a lightproof covering, the spell’s effect is blocked until the covering is removed.
Darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower spell level.
Arcane Material Component: A bit of bat fur and either a drop of pitch or a piece of coal.
那么,一个以自己为目标施放了黑暗术的牧师面对黑暗术范围外的PC们,双方都用远程武器射击对方:
按照红色文字的描述,牧师得到20%几率攻击失手的隐蔽优势,也就是PC攻击牧师的时候会有20%的几率落空;
那么,牧师对PC的攻击又如何呢?由红色文字来看,在法术范围外的PC们不能“获得”隐蔽优势,也就是牧师射击PC时不必骰失手几率(这是我当时的主张);而有PC提出,从蓝色文字来看,牧师身处黑暗术范围内,因此也“have the miss chance ”,于是牧师射击PC也有同样的失手几率。
问题的焦点也许就在那个“have”上,个人认为,原文中的in an area shrouded in magical darkness指的是攻击对象的位置,因为只有存在攻击对象,那个“have”才有意义;而按照PC大人们的意思,in an area shrouded in magical darkness限定的是攻击者的位置,似乎也有道理。
联系前面的红字部分,我目前还是坚持原先的意见……
另:某高手当时曾经说过:就好像躲在黑影里的人射击拿灯笼的人很容易瞄准,而反之则不易……
