A sound or other “notice” must be apparent to the persons affected by the trap. Prerequisite: Tier 1 Rogue, or Ranger

Specials: These abilities may be purchased once for tier 1, twice for tier 2, and thrice for tier 3 for a total of 6 uses per day.
Prerequisite: When a prerequisite is listed with a skill you must purchase the stated skill an amount of time equal to the number shown in parenthesis and then you may proceed to the desired skill. eg:

Taunt: Twice per day enrage one target to attack only you for 30 seconds. Call out “taunt”.

Prerequisite: (1) Deadly = T1, (6) Deadly = T2, (11) Deadly = T3

Here you must buy the deadly skill 1 time and then you may purchase the tier 1 Taunt skill. Once you have purchased the Deadly skill once at tier 2 (6 total times) you may purchase Taunt at tier 2. Similarly, you may purchase your tier 3 taunts once you have purchased Deadly once at tier 3 (11 total times).

Parry: Once per day you may nullify damage from a physical source such as weapons from one attacker. The Protector must be within weapons range of the subject being targeted by the attack or the attacker and call out “Parry”.
Prerequisite: Tier 1 warrior

At each tier, the type of attack that can be defended is broadened to include alchemical attacks at tier 2 and magical attacks at tier 3. You must purchase one tier 1 to get your first tier 2 and two tier 2 to get your first tier 3.

Once a tier 2 defend is purchased the Protector may defend both physical and alchemical attacks for each defend possessed. Likewise, once a tier 3 defend is purchased the Protector may defend physical, alchemical, and magical attacks for each defend possessed.

Taunt: Twice per day enrage one target to attack only you for 30 seconds. Call out “taunt”. Prerequisite: Tier 1 Warrior

Prerequisite: (1) Deadly = T1, (6) Deadly = T2, (11) Deadly = T3

The Protector must point out the subject of the taunt with a weapon or by other means. This ability will have no effect if the target of your taunt is unable to reach you. (I.E. you’re behind a shield wall or across a river) The target of your taunt may also choose not to engage at all but may not attack anyone but you for the 30 seconds of this effect. The effect begins when the subject of the taunt becomes aware of the taunt which must be roleplayed IN GAME!

If more than one taunt is active on the same target during the 30 second period the target will chase the last taunt.

“Your mother is a heathen of such repugnance that even Hades bars her crossing the river Stix!”

The “Taunt” statement initiates the Taunt and must be stated with emphasis. Any offense may precede the Taunt phrase and you are encouraged to be inventive.
