[edit] DnD 3.5 comparison
This skill does not exist in DnD 3.5, although it is very similar to the demoralise opponent aspect of intimidate.
[edit] NWN comparison
In NWN1, if the taunt was successful, the opponent suffered an armor class penalty equal to the difference between the Taunt roll and the defender’s roll (to a max of a -6 penalty) for 5 rounds. The target also suffered a 30% chance of spell failure, if they didn’t resist the taunt.
