<p>
Many epic tales feature trips across great expanses. A party may sail the
Inner Sea or ride across the frontier of Varisia or navigate every district
in Absalom.
</p>
<p>
Below are some guidelines to help you figure out how long these journeys
take and what dramatic events might happen along the way.
</p>
<p>
<strong>When to Use These Rules:</strong> If it doesn’t matter how long the
trip takes, skip all this. Narrate the journey, maybe do an
<strong>@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04interludes0000]{Interlude}</strong>, and get to the next scene. If you
need to know how long the trip takes, or want to insert an obstacle or
encounter of some sort, use the information below as a guideline.
</p>
<p>
<strong>The Basics:</strong> The mode of travel determines how many miles the group makes per day.
</p>

<h2>Travel Times</h2>

<p>
The rates below assume reasonable terrain and weather. Difficult conditions
can drastically decrease progress (or increase it in the case of sailing
with strong winds).

*Sailing ships are greatly affected by currents and winds. Strong winds or
currents in the right direction allow them to travel about 60 miles per
day. Poor winds or going against the current reduce them to 20 miles per
day or less.
</em>
</p>

<h2>Encounters</h2>

<p>
If an area is dangerous or lawless, draw a card from the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Action Deck} once
per day (or even two or three times a day in particularly dangerous areas).
A face card or higher represents an encounter, and the card suit can be used
to determine the type.
</p>
<p>
Draw twice more if the card is a Joker and combine the results — such as Enemies and an Obstacle, or Strangers and Treasure.
</p>
<p>
Game Masters are highly encouraged to customize encounters based on their setting.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<span class="list-heading">Spades — Enemies:</span> Monsters, enemies, or hostile beasts
bar the way. Perhaps they lie in ambush if it’s a popular path, waiting
for the next band of unwary travelers.
</li>
<li>
<span class="list-heading">Hearts — Strangers:</span> The group comes upon neutral or
friendly nonplayer characters such as merchants, lost travelers, a
guide, or even other adventurers.
</li>
<li>
<span class="list-heading">Diamond — Treasure:</span> Somewhere along the way is something
of value — a caravan eager for trade or a forgotten ruin with treasure— and
guardians to protect it!
</li>
<li>
<span class="list-heading">Clubs — Obstacle:</span> The heroes encounter an obstacle of
some kind and must figure out how to circumvent it. Some examples are a
flooded river, a decaying rope bridge, a dangerous whirlpool, etc. The
obstacle might be defended by creatures or enemies as well.
</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="example">Example: Cinderlands</h2>
<p>
Our heroes are traveling across the frontier of Varisia, traversing the burning plains of the Cinderlands.
</p>
<p>
The GM draws a Jack of Clubs and decides the area is currently in the throes of an emberstorm— a dangerous black blizzard of dust and ash. This slows progress to a crawl for hours and makes the characters roll for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Fatigue} from heat and the relentless dusty winds (see the <strong>@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}</strong> section).
</p>
<p>
The GM draws again later that day and gets a Queen of Spades. From an unseen burrow under the charred ground, an ankheg surfaces, hungry for fresh prey.

<h1 class="wide">旅行</h1><p>许多史诗般的故事里面都涉及长途跋涉的远行。团队可能会在内海航行，骑行穿过瓦瑞西亚的边界或是穿行于艾巴萨罗姆各区。</p>

<h2>遭遇</h2>
<p>如果区域危机四伏或是属于无法之地，则每天从行动牌堆里抽一张卡(在特别危险的区域里面甚至可以每天抽两到三次卡)。如果是人像牌或在此之上的结果代表发生遭遇，具体种类通过花色来决定。</p>
<p>如果抽出鬼牌，则再抽两次，并将结果合并——比如遇敌和障碍，或是邂逅和财宝。</p>
<p>在此强烈推荐GM基于设定来设计遭遇。</p>

<li><strong>黑桃-遇敌</strong>：怪物、敌人或是虎视眈眈的野兽拦住了去路。若这条路线颇受欢迎，则它们可能会埋伏，等候着下一帮粗心的过客</li>

<li><strong>梅花-障碍</strong>：英雄遭遇了某种障碍，必须要想办法加以克服。例如泛滥河流、腐烂索桥、危险旋涡等等。该障碍也可能会被某些生物或敌人所保护。</li>

<h2 class="example">例子：灰烬之地</h2>
<p>英雄正在旅行穿过瓦瑞西亚的边界，横越灰烬之地的燃烧平原。</p>
<p>GM抽出了一张梅花J，并决定这片地区现在正有余烬风暴(沙尘与灰烬构成的危险黑色风暴)肆虐。行进因此沦为了为期数小时的爬行，而且角色必须因为炎热和无休止的扬尘大风(见151页的<strong>危难</strong>部分)而进行疲乏投骰。</p>
<p>GM在当日稍后再次抽卡，并抽出了黑桃Q，因此焦黑地表下某处隐藏地洞中爬出了一条掘地虫，饥肠辘辘地寻找着新鲜的猎物。</p>

<h1 class="wide no-toc">The Planes</h1>

<p>
While the world of Golarion exists on the Material Plane, there are many
other realms in other dimensions of reality known as the planes of
existence. Scholars and sages call these, collectively, the Great Beyond.
</p>
<p>
<strong>When to Use These Rules:</strong> Reference these summaries of the
five general types of planes when characters travel to other planes or
encounter creatures from the Great Beyond.
</p>
<p>
<strong>The Basics:</strong> Each plane is effectively its own universe with
its own natural laws. Rare linking points allow travel between the planes.
Some powers also allow — or prohibit — travel between the planes.
</p>

<h2>Material Plane</h2>

<p>
The default plane for play in <cite>Pathfinder for Savage Worlds</cite>, the
Material Plane operates under the same set of natural laws as our real
world. The size and scope of it depends on the GM’s campaign, although the
world of Golarion remains the focus of <em>Savage Pathfinder</em>.
</p>

<h2>Transitive Planes</h2>

<p>
These planes overlap and interact with other planes, especially the
Material. Transitive planes are accessed by powers and special abilities,
allowing for travel to other planes of reality. These are the most common:
</p>
<h3>Astral Plane</h3>
<p>
This silvery void connects the Material and Inner Planes to the outer
Planes. A traveler in the Astral Plane sees it as a vast and empty void
dotted with motes of physical reality intersecting with countless
overlapping planes.
</p>
<h3>Ethereal Plane</h3>
<p>
The Ethereal Plane overlaps with both the Material and the Shadow Plane. A
traveler experiences the Material world as if the world were an
insubstantial ghost. He can move through solid objects without being seen by
creatures in the natural world. Strange creatures dwell here; they can
sometimes influence the real world in mysterious and terrifying ways, such
as a ghost haunting a graveyard.
</p>
<h3>Shadow Plane</h3>
<p>
Best described as a warped "reflection" of the Material Plane, the Shadow
Plane is a grim, colorless "duplicate" of the real world. It is infused with
negative energies and serves as home for creatures such as undead shades.
Plane shifters use the Shadow to cross vast distances across the Material.
</p>

<h2>Inner Planes</h2>

<p>
The Inner Planes contain the building blocks of reality. Each Inner Plane is
made up of a single type of energy or element, with inhabitant of the same
type.
</p>
<h3>Elemental Planes</h3>
<p>
Air, Earth, Fire, Water — each of these elements command their own planes,
with classic Elemental creatures and other strange beings such as genies and
mephits.
</p>
<h3>Energy Planes</h3>
<p>
The energies of the Positive and Negative energy planes infuse reality on
the Material world. The former provides the spark of life, while the latter
harbors the taint of undeath. In general, all characters who use powers draw
energy from these planes as well.
</p>

<h2>Outer Planes</h2>

<p>
Beyond the mortal world, these planes are the various realms of the gods and
the final resting places of the dead from the Material Plane. Characters
with arcane powers often contact beings from these planes for advice,
guidance, and summoned allies.
</p>

<h2>Demiplanes</h2>

<p>
These are extra-dimensional spaces that function like planes but have
measurable size and limited access. Items such as a bag of holding and
portable hole access these strange places.
</p>
</div>

<div class="swpf-core"><h1 class="wide">诸界位面</h1><p>格拉里昂这个世界位于物质位面，同时其他现实次元(又称实存位面)当中还有许多其他国度，学者和贤者将其合称浩瀚众界。</p><p><strong>何时使用这些规则</strong>：当角色旅行至其他位面或是遭遇来自浩瀚众界的生物时，参照以下大体五类位面的概要。</p><p><strong>基础</strong>：每个位面各自的宇宙中都另有生效的自然法则，位面旅行可以通过稀少的连接点实现，有些奇术也能实现(或是禁止)位面之间的旅行。</p><h2>物质位面</h2><p>《狂野世界·探索者》游戏的默认位面，物质位面的机制与现实世界的自然法则相同，具体大小和范围取决于GM的战役，但《狂野世界·探索者》的焦点仍然是格拉里昂。</p><h2>过渡位面</h2><p>这些位面与其他位面交叠接触(尤其是物质位面)，可以通过奇术和特殊能力加以抵达，藉此前往其他现实位面。以下是最为常见的位面：</p><h3>星界</h3><p>这片银色虚空将物质位面及内层位面连接到外层位面，位于星界的旅者会看见一片广袤空旷的虚空，尘世现实与无数交叠位面相接的微点星罗棋布。</p><h3>灵界</h3><p>灵界同时交叠着物质位面和影界，旅者感受到的物质世界会变得如同整个世界都成为了幽灵虚影，其超出自然世界的生物所见，同时还能穿过实体物件。栖息于此的奇怪生物有时能以神秘惊悚的手段影响到真实世界(譬如在墓地作祟的幽魂)。</p><h3>影界</h3><p>影界最为准确的描述是物质位面的扭曲“倒影”，这片充斥着负能量的真实世界复制品阴森无色，同时也是不死幽影等生物的家园。位面穿行者会使用影界跨越物质位面中的长远距离。</p><h2>内层位面</h2><p>内层位面包含构筑现实的基本架构。每个内层位面都是由一种能量或元素构成，里面的原住民也与之一致。</p><h3>元素位面</h3><p>气、土、火、水——这些元素各自统御着自己的位面，此外还有经典的元素生物以及诸如巨灵和魔蝙等其他奇异存在。</p><h3>能量位面</h3><p>正能量和负能量位面的能量浇灌着物质世界现实，前者带来生命火花，后者满怀不死污秽。所有使用奇术的角色大体上都会从这些位面中汲取能量。</p><h2>外层位面</h2><p>这些坐落于凡世之外的位面乃是诸神的国度，也是物质位面死者的最终安息之处。具备奥法力量的角色通常会接触源自这些位面的存在来寻求建议、指引并召唤盟友。</p><h2>半位面</h2><p>这些异次元空间机制如同位面，但大小有度，进入受限。诸如次元袋和携带式次元洞都是通向这些奇怪的地方。</p></div>

<div>
<h1 class="wide no-toc">Social Conflict</h1>
<p>
Not every conflict is won by the blade. Successful oratory can topple nations.
</p>
<p>
<strong>When to Use These Rules:</strong> Most social exchanges are a simple
skill roll resisted by the appropriate Trait, such as @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Intimidation]{Intimidation} or
@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} vs. @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. For longer interactions, such as the back and forth
of a long argument, negotiation, or a legal proceeding, the following system
adds some drama and structure to each side's discussion. (The GM might use a
@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04dramatictask00]{Dramatic Task} instead if the argument must be won in a hurry!)
</p>
<p>
<strong>The Basics:</strong> Characters make arguments back and forth over
three rounds, roll their appropriate skills, then consult the
<strong>Conflict Results</strong> table (below) to see how well they've
influenced their audience.
</p>

<h2>Conflict Rounds</h2>

<p>
The conflict is broken down into three rounds of conversation, each focusing
on a particular point (or a few highly connected points).
</p>
<p>
During each round, the player roleplays her character's argument and makes a
@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} roll opposed by the Spirit of whoever she's trying to convince.
If a rival argues against her, the roll is opposed by his Persuasion instead.
</p>
<p>
Each success and raise by the petitioner grants her an "Influence Token"
(rivals don't gain tokens, they just oppose the petitioner and keep her from
gaining them).
</p>
<p>
<strong>Modifiers:</strong> Persuasion rolls should be modified by the
situation as the GM sees fit. A hero trying to convince a wizard of a fact
within his field rolls the lowest of his Persuasion or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Occult]{Occult}. A
particularly brilliant argument or impassioned roleplaying might add +1 to
+4. An insult or <em>faux pas</em> inflicts a similar penalty.
</p>
<p>
Hindrances should also be considered. Convincing a jury that an @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Outsider]{Outsider
(Major)} is innocent of a crime, for example, might inflict a −2 penalty.
</p>
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>
At the end of the third round, the speaker looks up her total Influence
Tokens on the <strong>Social Conflict Results</strong> table below.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Trials:</strong> Run trials and similar conflicts from the accuser's
point of view since they must usually prove the accused's guilt. If the
player characters are the defenders, they oppose the prosecution and must
keep them from gaining Influence Tokens with the judge (baron, king,
warlord, etc.).
</p>
<p>
Accusers in a trial must get at least three tokens to convict. Lesser or
greater results indicate the degree of punishment based on local customs and
laws.
</p>

<h2>Example: To Arms!</h2>

<p>
The cleric must convince a baron to send troops to the defense of a
neighboring fiefdom. The barony has warred with his neighbor for generations
so the GM decides that's a −4 penalty to the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} roll.

<p>
Worse, she's opposed by his slimy wizard, who argues against the idea every round (he opposes her Persuasion rolls).
</p>
<p>
The cleric gets lucky the first round and gets a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}. That's two Influence
Tokens. She fails on the second, but gets another raise in the third, for a total of four tokens.
</p>
<p>
The baron agrees but requires payment in land from his neighbor in return for sending part of his army to his rival's defense.
