-'''Taunt''' empowers the caster to "get under the skin" of a would-be enemy, encouraging them with japes and jeers to forsake their positions and attack directly, without order or sense, when a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] is failed.  If a successful save is made, the targets ignore the taunts.
+'''Taunt''' empowers the caster to "get under the skin" of a would-be enemy, encouraging them with japes and jeers until they are angered into foolishness.  Thereupon they will rush forward, attacking without order or sense, if a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] is failed.  The spell normally lasts until these creatures make one attack — whereupon, they will be free to act normally.  A successful save indicates the creatures have ignored the taunts.

In addition and also on account of this anger, victims of the taunt spell will suffer a -3 penalty to their [[Armour Class|armour class]].  Finally, taunted creatures will seek hand-to-hand combat, rather than throwing a weapon.  If an obstacle prevents this, those affected will shout and scream for one round, exposing themselves, before coming to their senses.

 Creatures must be '''within 60 ft.''' of the caster, or voice range, to hear the taunts.  Creatures with less than 5 [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] are unaffected by the spell.

-Taunted creatures will never act with a missile weapon, but will always seek hand-to-hand combat. If they can, they will prefer to attack the caster; if large enough, they are large enough to simply overstep smaller opponents. In all cases, they will continue to move forward until they can attack the source directly.
+See [[Morale]]
-Note the spell duration is listed as “1 attack” — once the affected creature makes their first attack, they are free to act as they will. NPCs will often be subject to [[Morale|morale checks]], if their situation is suddenly very bad.
