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.
You can use Taunt during combat to incite rage from a single opponent, imposing -2 penalties on all of his or her attack, defense, ability, and skill rolls during the encounter. Performing such an action takes 4 AP.
