Editing Satyr (section)

==[[Dungeons & Dragons]]==
[[File:Satyr Monster card.jpg|left|200px]]
The satyr has appeared in literally every single edition of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], although they've never been more than a footnote amongst the various monsters. They are typically associated with [[nymph]]s to the point of being the "male equivalent"; using their Charm-inducing panpipes to bewitch minions and seduce women, and breeding with nymphs to father more of both races. In this, they are pretty close to their original mythical depictions, or at least the Romanticism reinterpretation of them.

In classic D&D, "[[faun]]" is just another name for Satyr, and the terms are used pretty much interchangeably. In [[Pathfinder]], fauns are related race who are regarded as being the more civilized breed (as in they're not all serial rapists), which stems from them only occurring due to consensual lovemaking between satyrs and humanoid women.

An "Ecology of the Satyr" appears in [[Dragon Magazine]] #115. The "Satyr of the Night", an unseelie [[fey]] version of the satyr, had its own Ecology article in [[Dungeon Magazine]] #197, and [[Hyrsam]], a satyr [[Archfey]], appeared in Dragon #422.

===BECMI Stats===
Despite what you'd think, the satyr has actually appeared as a PC race on several occasions.

In BECMI, the satyr appeared as the [[Faun]] amongst many other [[fey]] races in "Tall Tales of the Wee Folk". For the crunch, see that page.

In [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition, the Satyr was amongst the races written up in the [[Complete Book Series|Complete Book of Humanoids]], where they had the following profile. The AD&D satyr is in the same vein as BECMI's Faun; laidback, carefree party-lovers if you ask them, and lazy, impulsive, good-for-nothings if you ask anyone else.

===3e Stats===
In [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], satyrs are one of the playable [[Monster Manual]] entries, with the following PC stats. They are described only briefly as mischievous hedonists who love to have fun, often at the expense of others, and are perfectly willing to use their magical music to lure women into their embrace, rob travelers, or scatter bands of do-gooders out to see them off.
::+2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma
::Medium
::Fey
::Base speed: 40 feet
::Low-Light Vision
::Racial Hit Dice: Five levels of Fey, which provide 5d8 Hit Dice, a Base Attack Bonus of +2, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +1, Ref +4, and Will +4.
::Racial Skills: 8 x (6 + Int modifier). Class skills are Bluff, Hide, Knowledge (Nature), Listen, Move Silently, Perform, and Spot.

The satyr chooses which effect occurs when it begins playing. A creature that passes its save against a satyr's pipes cannot be affected by those same pipes for 24 hours.

::[[Level Adjustment]]: +2

===4e Stats===
Satyrs appeared in the Heroes of the Feywild splatbook for [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. Here, it was noted that whilst the race is classically all-male, a DM can feel free to change that in their games. They are described as mischievous, investigative, curious and naturally hedonistic, with a natural sense of wonder about the world tempered by an innately shy personality. They can honestly be quite skittish, and unlike, say, a [[kender]], they only take risks after considering the possibilities and always strive to come out on top. They're a cautious race, especially around strangers, but dedicated and loyal allies. They had the following stats:
::Ability Scores: +2 Charisma, +2 Dexterity or +2 Constitution
::Size: Medium
::Speed: 6 squares (30 feet)
::Vision: Low-Light
::Skill Bonuses: +2 Nature, +2 Thievery
::Male Only
::Fey Origin: You count as a [[Fey]] creature for effects that relate to creature origin.
::Light of Heart: When you are affected by a fear effect with the "save ends" condition, you can make a saving throw to end it both at the start of your turn and at the end of your turn.
::Pleasant Recovery: When you spend [[Healing Surge]]s during a short rest, you regain +1d8 additional hit points for each Healing Surge spent.
::Sly Words: Bluff is always a class skill for you.
::Racial Power - Lure of Enchantment: Charm keyword. When you hit an enemy with an attack, as a free action you can slide the enemy up to 3 squares, but not into hindering terrain. The enemy grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn.

===5e Stats===
Official 5e satyr stats finally debuted in ''Mythic Odysseys of [[Theros]]'', and boy howdy did they immediately start bringing in the complaints!
::Ability Score Increase: +2 Charisma, +1 Dexterity
::Size: Medium
::Speed: 35 feet
::Fey: Your creature type is Fey, not Humanoid.
::Ram: You can use your horns to make headbutts as unarmed strikes, which deal 1d4 + Str modifier Bludgeoning damage.
::Magic Resistance: You have Advantage on Saving Throws against spells and other magical effects.
::Mirthful Leaps: When making a long or high jump, you can increase the distance covered by +1d8 feet. This still costs movement as normal.
::Reveler: You have Proficiency in Performance, Persuasion, and one Musical Instrument of your choice.

In case you're not getting it; this race gets an official type change from Humanoid (not entirely unprecedented), flat-out Magic Resistance (previously only seen on the "optional" [[Yuan-ti]] Pureblood race), two free skill proficiencies and a free tool proficiency.

===Odyssey of the Dragonlords===
In the [[Odyssey of the Dragonlords]] setting, satyrs are a fey race of hedonistic music lovers who are deeply in tune with their emotions, but also deeply fascinated by civilization, especially the many opportunities for pleasure that it provides. Unlike on other settings, Thylean satyrs come in both male and female forms. They have the following PC stats:
::Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Dexterity, +1 Constitution
::Size: Medium
::Speed: 30 feet
::Vision: Normal
::Fey Heritage: You have Advantage on saves against the Charmed and Frightened conditions, and are immune to magical sleep.
::Memory for Music: You have Proficiency in one musical instrument of your choice, and gain Advantage on Performance checks made with that instrument. You can also memorize and perform any song after hearing it only once.
::Enchanting Music: You can cast the Minor Illusion cantrip, as well as gaining the ability to cast Sleep 1/day at 3rd level and Suggestion 1/day at 5th level. All of these spell-like abilities use Charisma as your spellcasting ability score, and require a unique material component; a musical instrument, which you must play in order to cast the spells.
