Taunt is used to provoke an enemy into dropping his guard for a short time.

DnD 3.5 comparison
This skill does not exist in DnD 3.5, although it is very similar to the demoralise opponent aspect of intimidate.
NWN comparison
In NWN1, if the taunt was successful, the opponent suffered an armor class penalty equal to the difference between the Taunt roll and the defender’s roll (to a max of a -6 penalty) for 5 rounds. The target also suffered a 30% chance of spell failure, if they didn’t resist the taunt.
