Hey, thanks!

Actually, one of our PCs was a 'smart ass' type, and actually took a Quality to 'taunt' someone. To be honest, I can't recall if it caused actual failure ranks against the opponent, or if it simply forced the opponent into a course of action of some kind (i.e., "Attack me, not him!").

I'd have to consult with the GM on that one, to see how they handled it. The example in the PDF of Snow Owl versus the powerhouse Joe Brick provides a decent example though, most notably making him slip around the roof and suffer failure ranks (p.65).
