I'm pretty sure it's Keeper Larva Swarms taunting PCs in the Hive quest, as I can't see anything playing a Taunt animation and it always seems to occur near them. It's a massive amount of Taunt spam froma a wierd source.

Unintended sideffect, but brilliant really... Mosquitoes/Swarms should definitely have high taunt, and I will adjust it accordingly.

Well, it sounds good and flavourful for irritating bites and bugs in the face until you realise the sheer number means you run almost entire quests with -1-6 AC and the other stuff hasn't taken an AB hit to compensate. Having huge numbers of Taunting foes racks up the difficulty even if you have concentration, as they only need to get lucky occasionally to really hose you and the odds are in their favour.

Adjust strategy. Simple as that.

Nuclear Catastrophe

Quest was kind of easy anyway, ramping up the difficulty was probably called for, Egon.

The taunting is fine imo. But they also throw tanglebags, how about that? >_>

Same with Sand Spiders!
