will only trigger Taunt on a perfectly rolled stat check.

Defensive bonuses
A character who is actively taunting an enemy will additionally gain a small temporary boost to their armor and resistance stats, in an amount equal to their current level. This effect lasts for the duration of the taunt.

Kiting
can be useful in drawing area-of-effect damage away from other party members by "kiting" an enemy's attack focus to the edges of the party. Because the center party member will be involved in all area-of-effect and splash attacks, it can be beneficial to taunt enemies to one side, thus minimizing the damage to the center character and mitigating the damage to the other side entirely.

Innate
There are currently no characters in with  as a core skill. However, the skill is a common attribute found on a variety of shields, making it likely that any heavily-armored characters will eventually equip at some point during their adventures.
