[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5546061, member: 92305"] Two places, really. Officially, it's in the Cimmeria sourcebook. Unofficially, it's used in the Neverwinter Nights (the first one) computer game (which uses d20 rules). I was thinking of combining both the Perform (Taunt) descriptions, but I was dubious about the Concentration defense. I have seen Concentration suggested in a sourcebook as a way for a character to keep from getting lost in the wilderness. I believe that's in the Fiercest sourcebook, IIRC. There, again, I would ask, "What does keeping one's head for navigation have to do with the CON stat?" Thus, I posted this thread to try and understand the Concentration skill better. The skill seems to be focussed on the use of sorcery, but is that its only use? Can it be used to keep your sense of direction? Can it be used to shrug off insults that would make your ancestors twist in their graves? If you were Luke Skywalker, and you were trying to tag that womp rat sized hole on the Death Star, would it be the Concentration skill, based on your CON, that you turned to when that old man's voice went off in your head, saying, "Luke! Trust your feelings!" I'm just trying to get a grip on the Concentration skill for non-sorcerery uses. [/QUOTE]
