[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7583509, member: 6704184"] I don't really get why feint fits better than taunt, as a description of the action? You're taunting the enemy. That's the plain english word for it. You're pissing them of to make them come after you, even if it's a dumb move on their part. But, descriptive terminology nonwithstanding, I agree on the rest. I think the ettin aspect, for me, would instead be a thing where the DC would be set by the creature's Wisdom (Insight), and I'd have the player roll twice. If both heads fall for it, it just works as intended. If one fails, it would work on the basic Ettin thing, where neither is completely in control of their body, and I might just give the Ettin disadvantage on it's next action because the two heads are trying to do two different things.
