Satyr

Fey · SM +0 Satyr (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)

A goat-legged fey with short horns and a permanent air of having started drinking earlier than you did, carrying pipes, a dagger and a short bow. The pipes are the real weapon; it moves through undergrowth in silence and would rather trick you than fight.

FearThe satyr can play a frightening tune that forces creatures who hear it (the satyr can exlude any creatures it does not want to affect) to roll an immediate Fright Check (p. B360).	—	—	—
SleepThis tune makes creatures within 8 yards that hear it fall asleep for margin of failure minutes, if they fail to resist in a Quick Contest of the satyr’s Musical Instrument (Pan Pipes) skill against their Will. After this, they can be woken normally, but they will not necessarily wake up right away, especially if already tired. Upon waking up, each subject is stunned (p. B420) and may roll vs. Will once per second to recover. The satyr can omit any creatures from the effect.	—	—	8 yards

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/satyr.gct
• Source template total: 142 points.
• Library-rebuilt template total: 142 points.
• CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
• Issue #5: 2 special ability construction(s) restored (Fear, Sleep). No disabling construction on this record carries a cost the affliction term can score.
• Issue #14: the Sleep and Fear tunes remain unpriced: the source builds them as skill contests with no stated construction or cost, so the rating has no reproducible lever for them. The rating is deliberately blind to both, and the appearing-count cap of 2 remains as compensation for how dangerous a piping satyr is to a group.
• CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 8, PR 4, CER 12, threat tier minor.
• Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 4. Appearing count capped at 2 because this creature carries a save-or-disable attack that the CER path does not price; the rating understates how dangerous a group of them is. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
• Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
• Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
• Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
• Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
