  • taunt
  • taunt <opponent>
  • taunt all

Taunting is a way to get an enemy to focus on you, even if you're not the most dangerous attacker. It is often used by tanks when grouping, to help keep stray attacks from hitting weaker group members and to prevent the enemy from switching to a more dangerous opponent.

Taunting can also be used as an opening move, to start battle.

Not specifying an opponent will attempt to taunt your opponent in melee. You can taunt everyone in the room while engaged in melee by specifying 'all' This skill is heavily dependent on the user's charisma, and is more effective if focused on a single opponent.

The 'enrage' skill has different effects and uses than taunt, but the two can be very effective when used together.
