Legend has it that Pan once invited a young initiate monk to a party & spent a couple of days getting him to "loosen up a little" - after a week of carousing & a further week of recovery, that monk had developed the new drunken master fighting style.
I can count on one hand the types of monsters that you would WANT to bring to a party. Elysian Dragons, Halflings, Half-Elves dancing girls and Satyrs. A bit of debauchery accompanied by song and dance is enough to make any adventuring group crack a smile after a long day of "murder-hoboing".
The myth seems to be a reference to an agricultural stage in humanity, a more primal one than modern humanity. They're linked with Bacchus or Pan, but by etymology alone...there seems to be most of all a reference to Saturn. I know satyrs predate Saturn, but for those that say that, I say Cronus. Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus (that was more primordial, than even Cronus was), to be...later on...also, overthrown by Zeus/Jupiter and a more modern version of society - Olympian. Layers upon layers of civilization, a motif of a new beginning, or even an "epoch ellipse" aka rebirth - changed, yet similar. Also titans seem to be coincidentally similar to nephilim, likely a similar metaphor.
3:24 "So uh. . . You wanna hear Free bird or something?" 7:16 "Sir. . . Sir! Come down from there, please!" "Listen to me play Titanic!" "Sir, please don't."
Found a good satyr homebrew and the current game I'm using the faun subrace for Ivy Highbranch, illiterate and brutal huntress (ranger) who is currently getting used to the city and trying to prepare a traditional We Didn't All Freeze To Death This Winter feast.
Made myself a satyr bard, he's just insanely lucky and goes with the flow more than he should, and he just kind of assumes everything's going to go well for him
Satyrs are one of my favorite humanoids. I love them so much, I even have home-brew ones that appear all over the world... a "descended" from "true Satyrs". Also, every world I create has at least one pantheon with my version of Pan, whose avatar is a Satyr. Every campaign involves at least one regular Satyr NPC, almost always a priest of or follower of Pan. Priestly granted powers of Pan always include Heart of Pan, which grants the priest a bonus to all physical actions when he gets buzzed... it is enough of a bonus to counter the beginning level of intoxication and even give a bonus so he only has a penalty (much reduced) when wasted. Also, a big bonus against sedatives (like booze), so drugging him or boozing him unconscious is really hard. The Heart of Pan also grants bonuses to many skills related to diplomacy, dancing, singing... skills related to being charming or entertaining in general. And, a priest of Pan is a lot closer to being a form of a Bard than a Cleric. My veterans are divided on the priesthood... either a useless class to take or a very interesting and handy one. Either way, Pan (my Satyr god) is a fun god... and the only god that might just show up in avatar form to hang out at a party that catches his attention. One time at a party, a PC party member said: "If you are actually Pan, I have Satyr horns." **poof** that character spent the rest of the campaign with Satyr horns, much to the amusement of Pan.
Playing a satyr monk in a modern high school campaign. Trying to figure out her background so this is deeply appreciated when trying to rework stuff for the setting I’m in. Thank you so much for posting this! (She’s “the art kid” of her school and it’s not very well known that she can kick ass. Her friend is a Leonin peace cleric which is kinda hilarious. She is raised by her aunt who is the “witch with the haunted house” of the neighborhood. How much that is true is unknown. That’s about all I have so far.)
When I think of the Sahara desert I think of goats and ibex. Desert satyrs allied with a brass dragon sounds like a good encounter. I am going to say the satyrs would be immune to the sleep gas breath weapon. That would be very significant in a battle. I think they would enjoy each others company greatly unless they clash for wanting to be center of attention.
I am looking to play an Oath of Ancients Paladin Satyr. Basically a Satyr who is so in love with living that he swore an Oath to protect life against the darkness. I am kind of imaging him like Santa from the one Rise of Guardians movie.
seems like an amazing anti-mage build too. Magic resistance as a fey creature, and magic resistance to your allies. If I were you, I would want to ask the DM if I could (homebrew) also have Counter Spell, even if it's not apart of the real true Oath of the Ancients Paladin.
I played one as a bard. The DM only allowed it if I drank during the game. I think he said it as a goof, but I was "Challenge accepted!" Mission progress was slow every session but we all had a blast.
Hey AJ, fun video as always. I like the comparison of satyrs to "Chads". "Hey bro! Let's get hammered! I heard there were some nymphs taking a bath in the pool over there! Let's take a couple wineskins and go skinny-dipping! Got any more of that cheese and bread? I'm famished, let's make some sandwiches! Oh, check it out, nymphs! Hey baby, can I get you a drink?!?" lolololol!
Playing a Satyr in the Forgotten Realms setting who's been tasked with finding an artifact for an archfey, this video will definitely help me develop my character's personality and motives!
Just made a Satyr that is a psychopath and has developed more refined interests and pleasures as a result. Hes got the Faceless background and is a College of Whispers Bard. His whole theme is that he's a cold and calculating Satyr with no sense of humor who actively plays up a persona in which he pretends to be an enigmatic and boisterous College of Eloquence Bard to best abuse the bardic stereotypes to get himself ahead. His goal is to open a chain of underground, private taverns in which he can make more money as well as cultivate refined pleasure dens. His name is Koilos, roughly translating in Greek to Hollow.
I usually don't get the chance to thank you, as I am at work, but this was a wonderful video, and it has helped to expand my DMing quite a bit. Thank you for all your hard work.
@@AJPickett Woo! A response from the Gluestick himself! Lol. Thanks to you aquatic creature spotlight, you recently highlighted and made interesting the sailing part of my game. Party is now teaming up with several aquatic elf clans and a Lizardfolk tribe to stop an invasion of Sahuagins backed by an abolith.
i have a player in a new homebrew that chose satyr for her race. so of course i had to come to your video to get a better idea of what her people were like and where she came from
Party!! I love these guys they are the spirits of drinking spirits and party’s and they produce a lot of half races being bards leading to my belief all bards have a little satire in them
Sounds like my clever, yet distrusting drow would have quite the adventures with his polar opposite. While he would have an attitude of sickened discipline, manic attraction and powers of observation with smooth and confident demeanor switching to distrusting, cold glares of razor sharp concentration addled with deadly quiet resolve, the satyr would be a good culmination of all the traits mentioned in the video, albeit more innocent in nature as she perhaps just ran away from her elven or human family. Being a drow mesmerised the same by the surface as a faun to adventure while sickened with the under dark and their monotonaus ways and cruel idiocy, he would see many similarities to how this fauness would interact with him similar to how the women in his society did whatever they wanted. Yet he would be reminded of the kindness that his sister gave him and how this Satyr would inspire such independence of thought with him as well, which is why he went on this journey on the first place, although being a drow he doesnt really even realize this. Maybe he could even have a love interest? Idk, but it kinds sounds interesting...
Thank you so much. Although l haven't ever played Dungeons & Dragons and probably will not ever get a chance to, l really enjoyed your wealth of knowledge regarding the lore of satyrs. I was throughly entertained by the wonderful and extensive collection of illustrations that played while the lesson was being taught. It was a surprise to learn so much in less than twenty minutes. A curiosity about these creatures and others has arisen in me now that l have had my eyes opened to reality and have been shown the truth about our existence in this world. That which has been done will be done again for there is no new thing under the sun.
I was just hoping this would be a playable character. I've never seen any info on these, but always wondered. Although after hearing the lore, I don't think I personally have the character to play as these kinda guys. However maybe, I should try just to see if I could anyway.
Played my 1st in the 80s. Half-Satyr actually. A satyr/elf. Bard class and I weilded an elven greatbow of heartwood(eventually). The DM had just read a novel series where satyrs had a shock attack. He added shocking grasp 1 per day per class level. I could use any number of levels in a single attack but could not use it again for 1 Turn per spell level used. I was a cute idea but I was ranged and cc focused any rarely used it. Obviously as a touch attack it didnt work with wooden bow and arrows.
I changed the... "sexual" aspect of the Satyrs, in the place i but that they eat anything, just like a goat (it's a good option if u dont like this aspect of them)
Why that's part of the mythos. Are you saying that the cultural history of another group has to conform to you? Isnt that intolerance? They where Chad's not rapists. If you dont like it why play it? Our historical mythos had their purposes in their times. They taught us that if you play with fire you will get burned. Are we now going to have vegetarian mind flayers? I hope I was able to get my point across correctly, I currently have 47 races available to play. And role playing is very much part of the game to have fun. Dont like one then pick one you do like there are lots to choose from. Some have gender requirements, others class restriction, still others level caps. Each is unique with a seperate flavor. Why make them all cookie cutter boxes?
@@billlyell8322 dude, you should reread about our goat friends... sure i get what you say... but these guys... are... hardcore and absolute rapists at times, and at some tables it would be akward, you gotta see the full picture my guy
Now that the "Mythic Odysseys of Theros" is out I've been playing a satyr cleric of the domain of beer. The domain of beer is from the Kobold Press's "Deep Magic". It's been one of the most fun characters I've ever played.
The name originates (in 1690) from the French “piquet,” from the verb “piquer,” meaning “to pierce,”, logs sharpened to shield archers from cavalry. Needing to demarcate and perhaps defend their land, New World colonists installed fences of rough pickets, bare or painted white. So, they are not used to contain, rather, to exclude. My surname derives from Silver miners in around Glastonbury who gained a noble title and coat of arms after putting down a revolution against the crown, it is a pretty cool coat of arms, three silver pick axes on a sable black shield with a green and white plume, mounted by a gauntlet fist brandishing a pickaxe as a weapon of war. The family motto is "Always Ready".
I'm picturing a Satyr character who's in some ways the opposite of the typical Satyr. He'd be more of a cynical stand-up comic kind of performer & almost always have some cup of hot caffeine instead of alcohol in his hand. I can see him wielding levels of Vicious Mockery to the point where some weaker willed opponents might simply run away from shame, at the very least. If you're thinking of a furry legged Lewis Black or Bill Hicks that's the direction I can see them going.
I love how we share a first name and love for D&D. I just rolled up a satyr bard, college of swords. I'm playing in a nautical themed campaign and he's a ship captain. I also flavored my satyr to be deer like, not goat like, so he has antlers instead of horns. All my attack rolls have at least +8 and all persuasion and performance rolls have +10.
I hope you notice this comment AJ! Just wanted to say thank you for so much good content, your channel is like a safe haven away from political bs that seems to have permeated almost everywhere. Its exhausting and annoying and your channel is like a healing salve brother
very interesting hope my player's don't see this though because in my world they aren't player charcters and they are all male and children of the horned god (Pan) and i don't feel like arguing with them about it but still some useful info thanks
Satyr has typically not been a PC race. It is only allowed under homebrew rules. That means that many campaigns will not allow it. You can't depend on the DM to approve of the homebrew as published on assorted websites. Adventure League will not allow it.
Not hard to find homebrew campaigns. What IS hard is finding one with people you play nice with and not have ridiculously powerful monsters with a narcissist DM.
I like the lore that were the original half-fey made in the eleven invasion of the material plane. I'm imagining the 1st scouts being asked what are most resilient creatures in the material plane? And saying, well there these things called goats that can eat almost anything. They have hooves but can climb mountains and even trees. And horns to charge their enemies. Cool will definitely need to use that design in making our new emissary scouts we're creating.
Hey man, I don't know if you can even find or look at these an more but The Molydeus is annoyed by not being featured. P.s. Hey man hope life is going great.
I prefer satyress a female satyr from post-Rome. Rogue class. I finally found the human face snake creatures that remind me of dnd's nega called glycon/nü gua. But would a creatures with the head of a human and the body of an animal like sphinx fall under the chimeric family? Yes or no
I’m just getting into D&D and all I want to know is if I can play a female faun? I’m struggling so much to find anything about them anywhere since fauns and satyrs are different. I mean fauns are female, deer like and more civilised.
Ahhhh the Satyr........natures perv! Lol great creatures to mess with,especially when youve got lady pcs 😙😚😘😗 They tend to get real creepy after a gallon or so of wine so watch out ladies! Hahahaha. Excellent video AJ as always....quite informative and i like how the differance between 1st and 2nd edition doesnt clash alot with 5th ed. 😎
I never understood this part about d&d. The creature being used is a FAUN, I guess they can still be counted as satyrs, but know this: fauns are satyrs, but not ALL satyrs are fauns. Satyrs were only shown with mule tails and ears, and RARELY mule feet. It's the later fauns of the Roman age that brought the new species of satyr to light, the fauns. Later after the dark ages, the renosaunce age brought in FEMALE fauns, thus the intro to females, and MALE nymphs to the mix.
Kudos to you for a video well done!! I'm very faun of your monster ecology lore!! A satyr and a bard walked into a tavern. The satyr ducked. No wonder satyrs are like sex fiends; they're so horny at the time!!! Could you do a korrid video. It would be Pan-tastic if you could. Keep up the great work you do for this channel!!!!
@@zacharyweaver276 hells yeah! Ranger Bard or a Druid would fit....as long as you dont mind the level limitations on woodland creatures,would make a hell of a druid for sure! 🌲🌲🌲
Without pants. Yes I know I already said this in many threads, I make it my life's mission to remind everyone that satyrs hate pants. That and I'm still a bit of an asshole.
4:58 Is there some kind of a precedent for humans being dumber on average than all other races? I thought they had +1 across all stats, they should be innately better in every way compared to most races as they get usually just +2 to one stat and +1 to another and that's it. So are humans dumber on average or is there something else that attracts so much attention to humans? Steel dragons focus on human forms, satyrs mess with humans etc.
Dumber? You mean hungry for more? Humans are not stupid nor dumb just a younger race with a pretty short lifespan and so some crave power which can blind us it doesn't make us stupid but ignorant to rules of game... I mean that's what I take from it. Maybe "Naive" is probably a better word to describe this trait the satyrs take advantage of. I'v been playing DnD for a while now and humans can be great at everything I wouldn't ever consider then "Dumber"... probably helps they get a extra feat too.
The attention is on humans so often because from the outset Gygax thought of D&D as innately humanocentric. Humans play the game, so the game should be, for the most part, about humans and how they navigate through a fantastic world.
I thinks its more that humans are the most common race. They breed fast and know how to industrialize, its hard to find a land that dosn't have humans or some race that was once human. Also steel dragons living among us is kind of an honer as they like our lives enough to mimic them.
@@beastwarsFTW but it's always something like: "they like to mess with people, especially humans." Seems strange that it's so common for the humans to be the favourite prey for most things
TL;DR yes. Well the official Satyr race in D&D originate from the plane of Theros (a greek mythology inspired plane originally from Magic: The Gathering) and while in traditional myth Satyrs are all male, on Theros they can be either sex.
I love satyrs and fauns aj! Reminds me of all the lewd women I seen in my life then everybody wonders why I like ugly girls lol. I dont want to get sick from fun
www.dndbeyond.com/races/8140-satyr Muttonheid's playable Satyr race listing is excellent.
Satyr Lich, the party never ends
YES!!! And when you die from partying - into the philactory you go! XD
You didnt party enough if you just died once!
I love this
Legend has it that Pan once invited a young initiate monk to a party & spent a couple of days getting him to "loosen up a little" - after a week of carousing & a further week of recovery, that monk had developed the new drunken master fighting style.
Satyrs i still hate you for what you did to orpheus's wife and his suffering.
Satyrs, the race for players who really hate pants.
Yea I hate pants. But I love mah socks!

I can count on one hand the types of monsters that you would WANT to bring to a party. Elysian Dragons, Halflings, Half-Elves dancing girls and Satyrs. A bit of debauchery accompanied by song and dance is enough to make any adventuring group crack a smile after a long day of "murder-hoboing".
Elysian dragons?
Pot bellied jovial dragons who enjoy parties

They can reproduce with dryads and produce female dryads or so i remember

Thanks! I love it!
Here wuz Seamus!

Never been so early in a video in my life
ooo i had no idea these guys were playable, i wonder if i could pull of a drunken master style satyr monk
Nice idea
They are chaotic creatures so probably not monks I figure
mmm that's a fair point but aren't drunken bar brawlers just chaotic monks?
Drunken "lecturous" master.
But I kind of look less vicious like the beastmen from Warhammer fantasy
I love how we share a first name and love for D&D. I just rolled up a satyr bard, college of swords. I'm playing in a nautical themed campaign and he's a ship captain. I also flavored my satyr to be deer like, not goat like, so he has antlers instead of horns. All my attack rolls have at least +8 and all persuasion and performance rolls have +10.
...hmm...that looks like a Faun to me...
1880 they found Bones in Pennsylvania ( Satyr)
Good video AJ
Okay spitballing an idea for a player
A Bard /Warlock with a pact with the Raven Queen that happens to be a Satyr
What are the four legged ones with the ram horns called ?
I hope you notice this comment AJ!
Just wanted to say thank you for so much good content, your channel is like a safe haven away from political bs that seems to have permeated almost everywhere. Its exhausting and annoying and your channel is like a healing salve brother
Thanks JB
@@AJPickett never met and you seem as a friend, the internet is weird 😅 hope all is well
very interesting hope my player's don't see this though because in my world they aren't player charcters and they are all male and children of the horned god (Pan) and i don't feel like arguing with them about it but still some useful info thanks
Will u do ravenloft monsters or the stories of strahd and other ravenloft lords keep up the good work
Satyr has typically not been a PC race. It is only allowed under homebrew rules.
That means that many campaigns will not allow it. You can't depend on the DM to approve of the homebrew as published on assorted websites.
Adventure League will not allow it.
Not hard to find homebrew campaigns. What IS hard is finding one with people you play nice with and not have ridiculously powerful monsters with a narcissist DM.
and yet, Pixies. *shakes head*
Just wait until they do a feywilds based adventure. Expect a lot of playable fey and maybe new ones that act like male nymphs or dryads.
I like the lore that were the original half-fey made in the eleven invasion of the material plane. I'm imagining the 1st scouts being asked what are most resilient creatures in the material plane? And saying, well there these things called goats that can eat almost anything. They have hooves but can climb mountains and even trees. And horns to charge their enemies. Cool will definitely need to use that design in making our new emissary scouts we're creating.
Have you thought about putting the audio of your videos on sound cloud?
I would love to listen some of them while running
Hmmm, I had not thought of that.
would be great for my long hikes in the army

@@AJPickett wow, that was fast
@AJ Pickett gotta link to the hombrewed Faun/Nymph you prefer?
Ah. Good idea
www.dndbeyond.com/races/8140-satyr Muttonheid's playable Satyr race listing is excellent.
I liked Pipers, human-satyr hybrids.
Satyr Bard :College of Glamour / Sorcerer: Wild Magic
Hey man, I don't know if you can even find or look at these an more but The Molydeus is annoyed by not being featured. P.s. Hey man hope life is going great.
Hey, I remember you (still), doing fine thanks :)
I prefer satyress a female satyr from post-Rome. Rogue class. I finally found the human face snake creatures that remind me of dnd's nega called glycon/nü gua.
But would a creatures with the head of a human and the body of an animal like sphinx fall under the chimeric family? Yes or no
Hmmm, I guess they would.
I’m just getting into D&D and all I want to know is if I can play a female faun? I’m struggling so much to find anything about them anywhere since fauns and satyrs are different. I mean fauns are female, deer like and more civilised.
Fauns are mostly men actually :) But there are female fauns as well.
Just make it up if you need too. Or ask who ever is running the game you will be playing.
I heard that fauns tend to be female and satyrs tend to be male
Ahhhh the Satyr........natures perv! Lol great creatures to mess with,especially when youve got lady pcs 😙😚😘😗 They tend to get real creepy after a gallon or so of wine so watch out ladies! Hahahaha. Excellent video AJ as always....quite informative and i like how the differance between 1st and 2nd edition doesnt clash alot with 5th ed. 😎
nice
Wow man, i think the new YT algorithm is seriously kicking you =/
It is just the slow holiday weekend, (I hope)
“Truly a PANdimensional species”
Was that supposed to be a pun, or just a happy accident?
Hmmmmm. Build me a *Pickett* Fence and I'll protest this joke
Both.

Do a vs series 👍

I welcome goat people.

NOT DRAGONS JUST GOAT PEOPLE WHO ENJOY TO FROLIC AND SUCH!!!
dragonlord and hate pants
We ever going to see any more freelancers again? I miss watching those.
They retired.
@@AJPickett 😢
@@odinvov1146 I would have liked to continue, but work rosters got changed and the age-old foe of D&D won again.
@@AJPickett well I enjoyed them while they lasted. Thanks for the entertainment!!
@@odinvov1146 15 recorded sessions was a pretty good run, hopefully, we can have another campaign some day.
Would you say Satyrs would make a good Barbarian?
Yes, superb barbarians.
Me finding this who plays a satyr artificer.
I never understood this part about d&d. The creature being used is a FAUN, I guess they can still be counted as satyrs, but know this: fauns are satyrs, but not ALL satyrs are fauns. Satyrs were only shown with mule tails and ears, and RARELY mule feet. It's the later fauns of the Roman age that brought the new species of satyr to light, the fauns. Later after the dark ages, the renosaunce age brought in FEMALE fauns, thus the intro to females, and MALE nymphs to the mix.
Satyr it ain't so 😀
More so than a Kender? Uncle Trapspringer disagrees.
Not bad. Have you done dryads yet? Nymphs?
yes both
Has he... "Done" them? 😁
@@GreenLanternCorps2814 Very funny.
oh cool another heart from the lord of the mighty gluestick
a fine addition to my collection
*Cough*
Kudos to you for a video well done!! I'm very faun of your monster ecology lore!! A satyr and a bard walked into a tavern. The satyr ducked. No wonder satyrs are like sex fiends; they're so horny at the time!!! Could you do a korrid video. It would be Pan-tastic if you could. Keep up the great work you do for this channel!!!!
So a satyr PC could be ranger/bard?
Druid would also fit
@@zacharyweaver276 hells yeah! Ranger Bard or a Druid would fit....as long as you dont mind the level limitations on woodland creatures,would make a hell of a druid for sure! 🌲🌲🌲
Without pants.
Yes I know I already said this in many threads, I make it my life's mission to remind everyone that satyrs hate pants. That and I'm still a bit of an asshole.

@@AJPickett OMG 😱 thaaanks
Did you use a new mic on this one? sounds better.
Indeed!
4:58 Is there some kind of a precedent for humans being dumber on average than all other races? I thought they had +1 across all stats, they should be innately better in every way compared to most races as they get usually just +2 to one stat and +1 to another and that's it.
So are humans dumber on average or is there something else that attracts so much attention to humans? Steel dragons focus on human forms, satyrs mess with humans etc.
Dumber? You mean hungry for more? Humans are not stupid nor dumb just a younger race with a pretty short lifespan and so some crave power which can blind us it doesn't make us stupid but ignorant to rules of game... I mean that's what I take from it. Maybe "Naive" is probably a better word to describe this trait the satyrs take advantage of. I'v been playing DnD for a while now and humans can be great at everything I wouldn't ever consider then "Dumber"... probably helps they get a extra feat too.
Many races dumber and many races smarter. Humans are not a specialist race.
The attention is on humans so often because from the outset Gygax thought of D&D as innately humanocentric. Humans play the game, so the game should be, for the most part, about humans and how they navigate through a fantastic world.
I thinks its more that humans are the most common race. They breed fast and know how to industrialize, its hard to find a land that dosn't have humans or some race that was once human. Also steel dragons living among us is kind of an honer as they like our lives enough to mimic them.
@@beastwarsFTW but it's always something like: "they like to mess with people, especially humans." Seems strange that it's so common for the humans to be the favourite prey for most things
Baaa on goatboys!🐐 👦
Are there female Saryrs???
TL;DR yes.
Well the official Satyr race in D&D originate from the plane of Theros (a greek mythology inspired plane originally from Magic: The Gathering) and while in traditional myth Satyrs are all male, on Theros they can be either sex.
I love satyrs and fauns aj! Reminds me of all the lewd women I seen in my life then everybody wonders why I like ugly girls lol. I dont want to get sick from fun
dude...
👍
Pan.
Hmm still kinda like the classic only male version.
But randy goat women!
They're still *mostly* male.
