HG Enhanced

• Can be used to lower the AB of an enemy, similar to how Taunt lowers AC. Bluff is used via the Taunt skill radial icon.
• The defender must make an opposed Concentration check; if it fails, its AB is lowered by the amount it failed the check by (to a maximum of -6) for 5 rounds.
• The !opt tauntbluff command toggles between Taunt and Bluff. The two cannot stack on the same target. As with Taunt, Bluffing is a free action.

Notes

• Requires Hordes of the Underdark.
• Module designers tend to use Persuade more frequently than bluff.
