Provoke (Combat)
You know just the right words to draw out the worst in someone.
Prerequisites: Diplomacy or Intimidate 3 ranks.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may make a Diplomacy or Intimidate skill check against a foe within 30 feet of you, that can see and/or hear you. The DC for this check is 10 + the target’s hit dice + their Wisdom modifier, or 10 + their Sense Motive skill bonus, provided they have ranks in Sense Motive. If you succeed on this check, you antagonize your foe for one round, plus one round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. This skill check takes a -4 penalty when attempting to provoke a foe of a different creature type than you, as well as creatures of animal intelligence. If the foe is both, the penalty becomes -8.
