Homebrew Faun/Satyr Species Details

Fey Nature

From the waist upwards, Fauns and Satyr may appear to have the body of a human, save for the animal-like horns atop their heads. Below the waist, however, these creatures have the hind legs of goats and rams. These powerful animalistic qualities can give Fauns and Satyr tremendous bursts of speed and strength. Satyr use these displays of strength in fights against one another to determine rank in a tribe or to win the affection of a Faun. Fauns will often perform outstanding displays of acrobatics or rhythm, or for speed in battle.

Pipe and Sword

Fauns and Satyr are most well known for playing the pipes to amuse themselves or charm those who would seek to do them harm, but several tribes have strict honour codes and strong military traditions. Although any Faun may take particular classes, different tribes may have propensity towards certain classes.
