Generation
Pan flutes are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for or found in bones.
A satyr has a 4⁄5 chance of being generated with a pan flute.
Description
A pan flute can only be properly applied by a satyr or a hero polymorphed into the form of a satyr.
Hostile satyrs that have a pan flute will play them with a 1⁄5 chance each turn if the hero is nearby, which can render the hero confused, asleep or stunned for a few turns if they hear its music—the duration of each effect is a few turns, and none of these effects will be stacked on themselves. Partial intrinsic sleep resistance can reduce the duration of sleep induced by a pan flute, and full intrinsic sleep resistance or extrinsic sleep resistance can block the effect entirely. A hero that is deaf, wearing a toque or else in the form of a satyr or other nymph is immune to the effects of a satyr's pan flute.
If a hero polymorphed into a satyr applies a pan flute, they have a chance based on dexterity and experience level to affect monsters with the resulting music: there is a 2⁄3 chance that monsters hearing the music will be put to sleep for a duration equal to the hero's level times 5, and otherwise they will be subjected to taming with a chance equal to (XL - 1)3 + 1.
