Can't use weapons vs Satyr

[Cmgutie]

I'm not sure if I'm missing something about combat vs a Satyr or if this is a bug. In the poison pill scenario when I come across a Satyr it won't let me reveal weapon cards. This has happened at least 3 times.

The Satyr requires a Dexterity or Acrobatics check to defeat it, not a Combat check. Weapons (typically) are useful only for Combat checks.

 

A few of the monsters require or offer checks to defeat that are non-Combat checks.

Exactly like Hawkmoon says. Some monsters need other checks besides or instead of combat to defeat. Satyr needs dexterity or acrobatics. Siren needs wisdom. A villain further down the campaign needs a successful diplomacy check and the magic tag to defeat.
If in doubt check the card.

Exactly.  The Satyr isn't the usual combat check.  He's challenging you to a dance-off.
