"This effect will cause the target to attempt to exclusively engage the caster, or those preventing engagement with the caster, in combat for the duration of the effect. The target must either engage the caster using ranged attacks or attempt to advance into melee range, but never in a manner that will cause direct harm to the target."
What does "direct harm to the target" mean in this case? Are swords direct harm? Is instant-death lava? It has been suggested that this part doesn't refer to the "target" at all, but the "target's player" meaning that the player should not move in ways that might be dangerous.
If I hit someone with Taunt Strike and back up and the rest of my companions set up a spanking line (i.e. NOT getting in the way, but obviously going to murder that person on the way through) does the target have to "run the gauntlet" or is that direct harm? And can the target even block? It says that the target may only engage with the caster or those preventing engagement with the caster.... in this case there is no prevention... so the taunted creature can't engage, right, which would include blocks?
It looks like throwing daggers is acceptible (The target must either engage the caster using ranged attacks)... is there an expectation about how many thrown weapons is reasonable for 10 seconds? If I keep my thrown weapons in my backback, but I put my best-faith effort into getting them out to throw, is that sufficient if I want to stay safe?
It feels like this needs a lot more clarity before we have any idea how to play it.
