1. DESCRIPTION
===============

Adds a dialog option to taunt any NPC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How it works:

Select Taunt from the dialog choices. The taunt will have a chance to succeed or fail. I suggest shouting a witty insult
of your choice at the screen whilst taunting the NPC.

The chance of success is equal to your speechcraft skill x the multiplier set in the ini file. Setting the multiplier to 1
will make the chance exactly equal to your speechcraft skill, so at skill level 100 your taunts will always succeed. Setting
to 0.1 will make your success chance equal to 1/10 of your speechcraft, 0.5 will be 1/2 your speechcraft and so on.

A successful taunt will lower the NPC's disposition by 1 point and raise their aggression by 1 point. When an NPC's disposition
is more than 5 points lower than their aggression they will attack you.

Each taunt, successful or not, will end the conversation, so repeated taunts can be tedious. NPC's will give random verbal
responses to your taunts, depending on their disposition and the success or failure of the taunt.

If your goal is to provoke an attack, it's fastest to use speechcraft or some other method to lower the NPC's disposition first,
then taunt away.

Use with care, as any change to the NPC's aggression will be permanent. If you're not trying to provoke someone into attacking,
you can use the taunt as a roleplaying option. But you can also cause unpredictable results by raising NPC's aggression. Carelessly
taunting every NPC can result in random fights breaking out in your game. Taunting essential NPC's may be especially unwise.

This should be safe to add to any saved game. As noted above, any changes to NPCs' aggression levels as a result of being
taunted will be permanent, so use with caution.

I can't imagine a case that would cause conflicts, but if you do happen to find one, please let me know.
