The Taunt talent allows a character to enrage an opponent, thereby distracting him. The character makes a Taunt Test that round rather than an attack, using an opponent's Social Defense as the Difficulty Number. A successful Taunt Test means the opponent is so angered that he must reduce all his dice steps by a number equal to the character's Taunt Rank, for a number of rounds also equal to the rank. Only one Taunt can affect a character at any time.
