PANIAN PHILOSOPHY

Main Emphasis (d20)
1-2. Be wild, naturally!
3-4. Enjoy making love, it truly sets you free
5-6. Respect wild places, keep despoilers out of them!
7-8. Treat animals well too
9. Pastoralism
10. Aegipan, Goat totem
9. Pastoralism
10. Aegipan, Goat totem
11. The Phallus
12. The Syrinx
13-20. All are emphasized, though even that might change
For example, if a cleric of Pan's focus was on being wild, naturally, then he could substitute magical side-effect result #5 (Au Natural Magic) to also use instead of side-effect result #2 (Panic) or #11 (Syrinx Song).

===========================
Revised/ Expanded Divine Test
14. Aegocerus! Just like a satyr, the cleric grows a pair of goat horns that he can attack with for 1d3 damage each round, though he also suffers a -2 penalty to Charisma checks with those who aren’t into that sort of thing. He may also gain goat legs instead, becoming 5’ faster and gaining an AC bonus of 2. Each time this Blessing occurs, the horns get bigger, increasing to 1d4, 1d6, up to 1d8 damage, while the Charisma penalty increases by 2. Followers of Pan actually love this sort of thing, so the penalty is a bonus with them instead!
