[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7584049, member: 6704184"] You're absolutely right! Oh well, you and others in the thread have provided excellent thoughts on the subject, and I thank you! I think Cha [Skill per description] vs higher or Passive Insight or Wisdom Save +10 (to account for monsters’ lack of skills), forcing disadvantage on attacks next turn that don’t include the taunter, works for me. At least as a playtest starting point. my initial inclination is just to handle it via role playing, but in 5e tactical skill use is always an action unless it’s movement or part of a feature that specifies otherwise, so I’m fine with requiring the player to take the Taunt Action to do it. A feat would be +1 Cha You can perform the Taunt Action as a Bonus Action on your turn.
