Dark One Lore

DC 25: A death knight carries its soul in its weapon, which has the power to become ghostly and pass through armor as if it was not there. If you take a death knight’s weapon, you daze and weaken it.

If you break a death knight’s weapon, the death knight can restore it with a touch.

DC 30: 據說轉變為死亡騎士的儀式起源於奧庫斯，那位不死生物的惡魔王子。大部分的死亡騎士是通過于奧庫斯或其僕從的接觸而瞭解該儀式的，但也有部分是通過其他方式發現了儀式。

★Balor Lore

巴洛魔

DC 15: Rituals known to demon-worshiping cultists and certain depraved wizards can summon evistros to the world.

Sometimes, though, they turn on their summoner before extending their rampage.
屠戮魔
DC15：崇拜惡魔的邪教徒與墮落的法師知道如何用儀式召喚艾威斯綽魔。不過，屠戮魔極為難以控制——一般來說，召喚者能做到的不過是釋放它們製造破壞。有時候，他們在散開來製造破壞之前可能會先攻擊召喚者。

DC 25: Glabrezus use their high intelligence to sow discord. They also like to goad their allies into ever-greater acts of depravity and violence.

迷誘魔
DC25：迷誘魔用它們高超的智力到處撒播混亂。它們也喜歡唆使盟友去做更為邪惡和暴力的事情。

A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check.
DC 20: In the eons since they were spawned in the Abyss, mezzodemons (sometimes referred to as mezzoloths) have spread throughout the planes. They are more likely than other demons to establish lairs and infest specific areas, rather than rampage across realms in monstrous hordes.

梅佐蟲魔
DC20：在遠古時期，梅佐蟲魔（有時也被稱為梅佐羅斯魔）在深淵誕生之時就開始向各個位面擴散。比起其他惡魔，它們更喜歡築巢並侵擾特定的地區，而不是大群地流竄各地。

DC 25: A handful of evil cults possess a ritual for turning a dragon into a dracolich against its will. These cults do what they must to keep knowledge of that ritual from others. When a dragon is transformed into a dracolich with such a ritual, a linkage between the cult and the dragon is formed, and the cult gains influence over the dragon’s behavior.
DC 30: A cult that transforms a dragon into a dracolich maintains its control over the creature through possession of the dracolich’s phylactery, a vessel that imprisons the creature’s soul. Most dracolichs do not have phylacteries and are not associated with a cult. Those that have phylacteries seek to destroy them so the cult that created it loses its ability to command the dracolich forever.

DC 25: 少數邪惡教團使用這個儀式在違背龍族自身意願的情況下將其轉變為龍巫妖。這些教團盡一切手段保守著關於儀式的知識不洩露給別人。當一條龍因此而轉化成龍巫妖時，它與教團之間形成了一種神秘的聯繫，因此教團能夠影響其行為。
DC 30: 將龍轉變成龍巫妖的教團通過控制龍巫妖的命匣——禁錮著龍巫妖靈魂的容器——來維持對其的控制。大多數的龍巫妖沒有命匣，也沒有和教團聯合。而有命匣的那些，則想方設法的尋找摧毀命匣的方法——沒有命匣就無法控制龍巫妖。
DC 35: 一旦龍巫妖的軀體被破壞，它的命匣也將同時被摧毀而它也將永遠的消亡。
（我第一次看到龍巫妖只會噴吐跟咬*攤手*）

Each dragon type tends to inhabit certain climates and terrains: reds like hot areas and volcanoes, whites like cold, blues prefer coastal regions, greens like forests, and blacks like swamps.

Efreet Lore
A character knows the following information about efreets with a successful Arcana check.
DC 20: Efreets are the self-proclaimed fiery princes of the Elemental Chaos, the strongest force of order on that tumultuous plane. Though few in number, they rule over vast armies and households of elemental slaves. The City of Brass is their greatest achievement—a permanent city-fortress in the roiling chaos, unchanging and eternal.
DC 25: There is no such thing as an “efreet commoner.” Every efreet is a member of a noble house. These houses plot and scheme against each other (much as drow houses do in the Underdark), and from time to time they muster enormous armies against each other. An efreet house might only contain a small number of related efreet, but through power and intimidation they lord it over vast hosts of other elementals. Their control is by no means limited to fire creatures, and smart efreets have creatures formed of various elements serving them. On rare occasions they bind demons to servitude, although they place little trust in them and keep them at arm’s length at all times.
DC 30: Efreets have no power to grant wishes, despite stories to that effect. As princes of the Elemental Chaos, however, they have power, influence, and widespread connections, and they are not averse to bargaining with weaker mortals. Thus it might be that an efreet released from servitude will grant its liberator a “wish,” within reason. As creatures of nobility and great self-importance, all efreets fear and loathe servitude to others. Sometimes when two efreet houses clash, the losing side is forced to give up a junior member of the house into a specified period of servitude to the victor. This is far more humiliating and punishing than any cost in goods or slaves. When an efreet is magically bound to serve a mortal, it considers that service the worst possible form of humiliation, and burns with resentment against its erstwhile master.
DC 35: An efreet house will sometimes sponsor a noble hunt where a few nobles of the house venture out of the Elemental Chaos into the world, the Feywild, the Shadowfell, and even into the Astral Sea, hunting particularly dangerous creatures (such as dragons) merely for the sport of doing so, as well as for a fantastic trophy to grace their house mansion.
火巨靈
DC 20：火巨靈自稱是元素混沌的烈焰王子，號令喧囂位面的最強力量。儘管數量很少，但它們統治著數量巨大的軍隊與元素奴隸家庭。黃銅城是它們最偉大的功績—混沌攪動中的永久壁壘城市，永恆不變。
DC 25：沒有類似“火巨靈統帥”之類的人物存在。每名火巨靈都是貴族家族中的一員。這些家族彼此陰謀對抗（類似幽暗地域的卓爾家族），有時它們也會集結大量軍隊對抗其他人。一個火巨靈家族只包含少量帶有血緣關係的火巨靈，但通過力量與脅迫它們統領著大量其他元素。其統治絕不僅限於火系生物，頭腦靈活的火巨靈驅使多種元素服侍自己。極少情況下，它們束縛役使惡魔，不過火巨靈毫不信任惡魔並讓其整日待在軍隊裏。
DC 30：火巨靈沒有賦予祈願的能力，儘管傳說中它能辦到。即便如此，身為元素混沌王子，火巨靈具備力量，感應力，廣泛聯繫，同時也不反對與較弱的凡人進行交易。因此也許哪位元從被束縛狀態中釋放出來的火巨靈會賦予它的解放者一個“祈願，”當然這個願望不能太過分。
作為極度自大的高貴生物，所有的火巨靈都恐懼並憎惡著被他人奴役。有時當兩個火巨靈家族衝突時，失敗方要進獻一名年少的家族成員供勝利者役使一段時間。這是比支付財產或奴隸都要大得多的羞辱與懲罰。當火巨靈由於魔法束縛而聽候凡人差遣時，它會認為這種服侍是所有羞辱中最糟的一種，並且會燃燒著怨恨反抗從前的主人。
DC 35：火巨靈家族有時會開展貴族狩獵。一些家族貴族離開元素混沌，到主位元面，妖精荒野，墮影冥界，甚至眾星之海進行探險，獵殺特別危險的生物（例如龍），這樣作僅僅是為了運動，也是為獲得能夠裝飾家族宅邸的奇異戰利品。

Eidolon Lore
A character knows the following information about eidolons with a successful Nature check.
DC 20: An eidolon is created by means of a divine ritual, the key component of which is a crystal shard containing a tiny spark of divinity. The shard is embedded deep in the eidolon and is lost when the eidolon is destroyed.
DC 25: Sometimes an eidolon is corrupted by the divine spark trapped inside it. When this happens, the eidolon suffers delusions of godhood. It kills its creators and either takes over the cult or destroys the cult and seeks out new followers to worship it.
幻像
DC20：幻像是由一個神聖的儀式製造出來的。而這個儀式的關鍵部分是一塊的水晶碎片，這塊碎片蘊涵著微小的神聖火星。這個碎片被植入幻像的體內並會在幻像被摧毀時消失。
DC25：有時候幻像會被污染，此時它體內的神聖火星會被束縛。當這種情況發生時，它會產生自己擁有神性的錯覺。它會在之後殺了它的主人，並建立充滿毀滅氣息的邪教或者尋找膜拜它的追隨者。

Eladrin Lore
A character knows the following information about eladrin with a successful Arcana check.
DC 15: Creatures of magic with strong ties to nature, eladrin hail from shining cities in the Feywild. Their cities lie close enough to the natural world that they sometimes “cross over,” appearing briefly in beautiful mountain valleys or deep forest glades before fading into the Feywild again. Eladrin are sometimes referred to as high elves, sun elves, moon elves, or star elves. They revere Corellon as their patron deity, although they freely worship other gods as well.
奧靈
DC 15：作為熱愛自然的魔法生物，奧靈來自精界荒野的華美城市。他們的城市相當接近於本土世界，奧靈常常穿越而來，多數在穿越回精界荒野前出現在美麗的溪穀或幽靜的林間空地。
奧靈有時也被稱為高等精靈，日精靈，月精靈或星精靈。他們崇拜守護神柯瑞隆，同時也自由地信仰其他的神祗。

Elemental Lore
A character knows the following information about elementals with a successful Arcana check.
DC 20: Elementals are among the most common denizens of the Elemental Chaos. They come in many forms and sizes. Some elementals embody a single element, while others are combinations of two or more elements or energy types.
DC 25: Elemental creatures don’t necessarily band together by element type. The most powerful denizens of the Elemental Chaos, including primordials, titans, and efreets, often assemble hosts of elemental creatures (sometimes of dissimilar element type) to march at their command. Small bands of elementals, though, are more likely to group with others of their element.
元素生物
DC 20：元素生物是元素混沌中最常見的居民。他們有著多種形態和大小。一些元素生物僅僅包含單種元素，而另一些則是兩種甚至多種元素的混合體。
DC 25：元素生物並不是一定需要按照元素種類來拉幫結派。元素混沌裏最強大的居民們，包括魔神（primordials） ，泰坦，火巨靈們，時常會召集一些元素生物（有時是不同元素種類的元素生物們）來替他們做事。然而，一小隊的元素生物確實更容易和同種類的元素生物聯合到一起。

Ettercap Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 15: A spiritual kinship with arachnids allows ettercaps to live among and communicate with spiders and scorpions, and to keep such creatures as pets. An ettercap uses such beasts as a human hunter uses dogs or drakes.

Ettin Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check.
DC 15: Wandering in small bands through remote borderlands and mountain valleys, ettins feed themselves by hunting creatures of every sort, including other intelligent creatures up to and including rival ettin bands.

Flameskull Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Religion check.
DC 15: Rituals for creating flameskulls are ancient, so flameskulls exist in places lost to history. Flameskulls might know obscure lore and secrets.
烈焰骷髏
DC 15：創造烈焰骷髏的儀式十分古老，所以烈焰骷髏可能誕生于某段失落的歷史之中。烈焰骷髏可能知道一些隱秘的學識或秘密。

Fomorian Lore
A character knows the following information about fomorians with a successful Arcana check.
DC 20: Cyclopses carve castlelike structures from the flowstone accumulations in the Underdark of the Feywild. Within these great structures dwell their fomorian masters. Fomorians are lazy creatures, so cyclopses produce much of the craftwork that fomorians possess.
DC 25: Fomorians enjoy unchallenged power in their subterranean realms. Their power sometimes extends to the surface, where they make war on eladrin courts.
DC 30: Emerging in the Feywild as perverse reflections of the mighty titans, fomorians consider themselves to be the most important beings in the universe. It’s whispered that their evil eye powers are somehow connected to Gruumsh— perhaps a “blessing bestowed on them by the one-eyed god so fomorians could bring pain to Corellon’s children. However, fomorians hold esteem for no god.

Foulspawn Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Dungeoneering check.
DC 15: Foulspawn form loose clans that shelter in existing structures or underground regions, modifying their homes into maddening warrens full of strange features. They also cooperate with other aberrant creatures.
