Special Qualities: A mob retains all the special quali-
ties of the base creature. In addition, it gains the following
special quality.
Mob Anatomy (Ex): A mob has no clear front or back
and no discernible anatomy, so it is not subject to critical
hits or sneak attacks. A mob cannot be flanked, tripped,
grappled, or bull rushed.
Unlike standard swarms, mobs are made up of rela-
tively small numbers of individual creatures, so spells or
effects that target specific numbers of creatures can have
an effect on a mob. Each specific creature that is slain,
disabled, or otherwise incapacitated by spells or effects
that target specific creatures bestows two negative levels
on the mob. A mob that gains negative levels equal to its
Hit Dice breaks up as if reduced to 0 hit points. Negative
levels gained in this manner are not the result of nega-
tive energy (and thus cannot be blocked by death ward or
removed by restoration), but never result in permanent
level loss. A mob takes half again as much damage (+50%)
from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash
weapons and evocation spells.
想问问单体伤害类法术,比如灼热射线是否收到影响,法师用灼热射线攻击群体内的一个个体,然后伤害是完整的体型在群体上还是只是给群体带来两个负向等级
附中文版
虽然不想挖坟,但某想说这5页的讨论就没一句说到点子上的
原文那句话的意思应该是“每个被法术或效果杀死、瘫痪或以其他方式失能的特定生物,使群体模板获得2个负向等级”。
这其实很好理解,哪怕是暴民团体,遭到明显的过剩火力攻击的时候也会作鸟兽散的。武器攻击算不算在效果里面某觉得要看情况,枪械射击用来驱散人群显然非常有效(在打击政府的名声/公众信心上也一样有效),而警棍、塑料盾牌、手铐和绳索一类的东西即使也能“让人失能”,但却不见得足以驱散人群
回到主楼的问题,射线法术不射线法术其实不重要,重要的是能不能让单个目标失能。按照描述,哪怕你搓一个大大大火球凌空爆炸,如果没有炸死单个人,那对群体也没有任何效果。
另外虽然这不是某的风格,但某真的觉得直接用AD&D 2e的士气规则在合理性上要好得多
总之这又是一个电你蛋在level、caster level、effect之类的词汇的用法上十分混乱的例子
