Provocation
Provocation is a difficulty based skill which allows you to instigate fights between creatures of your choice. However, a failed attempt will direct their anger towards you. It is exceptionally useful for 'crowd control' in busy areas. To promote a battle first use the skill 'provocation' and select your initial target, a successful attempt will result in a prompt to choose the second creature for your intended fight.
- Barding Difficulty
Each creature has a dynamically computed difficulty score based on its attributes, skills, and special abilities. which will fall within +/- 2% of the average for the creature type. The base difficulty in provoking two creatures to fight is the average difficulty of the two creatures.
- Damage and Looting
When two creatures are successfully provoked by a bard, damage assignment and credit will be correctly handled for both creatures involved, meaning the bard will receive correct credit toward looting rights, fame/karma rewards, etc. without having to perform a second provoke on the same creatures in reverse order.

If you are provoking the same targets and hit a wall where you get no gains, try switching targets. In training to 120 I hit a wall 3 times. At 116 I hit a wall that lasted 6 hours. Was provoking onto a boat bound Lesser Hiryu. Switched to another Lesser Hiryu while continuing with the same first target. Gains resumed and didn't stop till 120.
