Taunt

Post by GM-Phil »

I remember at game-on there was a big debate on what can break Taunt .. and one of the biggest was if someone had to do damage to another character to break them being taunted and it was field called that you did.. but I just had the chance to read the actual write up and here it is

Level 1: Taunt
The target must direct all actions towards the Swashbuckler until the target is struck by
another character (Damage does not have to be dealt),
the Swashbuckler dies, the
Swashbuckler turns their back, or the Swashbuckler leaves the line of sight of the target.
Taunt takes an uninterrupted 5 count in order to use. To use this ability, the Swashbuckler
must hit the target with a weapon or spell packet and call, “taunt.” There is no armor
restriction for this skill.
If the Swashbuckler also possesses the Mind Games skill, then he/she gains an immunity
to Taunt


With that clause.. you can hit someone with Defensive Matrix up and still break them being taunted.. or just hit them with a fist or anything that does 0 Damage.

Yeah the field ruling was wrong.

Honestly I am unsure taunt should be a skill usable against PC's

My mistake, sorry. I have twelve versions of taunt in my head and darn it, thought I had the right one. :cry:

it should be used against PC's and if you dont have mind games you will pay for it, also the fact that its so easy to hit someone out of taunt its no problem

For the record, I made the call. Mike was only guilty of not correcting me.

I knew full well what the rule in the book stated and wished to 'test' it full on in game. Thus the announcement. There are several problems currently with taunt, and Im looking to solve them.

And before anyone asks, No. I am not going to tell you what it is we are looking at so it can become a 12 page argument.

:D Expect at least one more 'game wide' play test on taunt.

good by me.. I have no interest in debating taunt.. Personally I thought it was one of the better low level skills in the game.

Perhaps we could try and guess what Todd's issues are.

And Debate.

he thinks taunt is underpowered and would like to turn it into lash taunt....that would be a funny skill more than a deadly one, maybe more of a problem, you have to run away from town becuase you find yourself lash taunting everyone....i think i just thought up a fun springhaven plot..
