Taunt is similar to Intimidate in certain regards. Instead of an imposing demeanor, a character with ranks in Taunt uses a silver tongue to upset opponents. Instead of instilling fear, this skill entices anger, which quickly leads to slip-ups.

Taunt is always opposed by a target’s Discern using Self-Control as the key ability instead of Insight.

Time
