Provocation
Trained By: Bard
Title: Bard
To provoke a creature you must have an instrument in your bag. You will need to pass a Musicianship Skill Check as well as the Provocation skill check.
Some monsters are easier to provike than others. The beastiary will show the general difficulty level for trying to provoke the target creature.
If you are successful at provoking the creature it will turn and fight what ever creature you designate. Doing this means there is one less creature trying to kill you.
