Probably because otherwise it would be completly broken. It would basically be an unblockable aoe dominate. Dominate costs 3 AP to cast, so what should taunt be cost? 5 AP? So a normal character can't even cast it with a rounds worth of AP. You could make it single target, but that would still make it incredible, even with a bump to 3 AP like dominate is, and making dominate obsolete in the proces

At least now it feels like it's own thing that can be useful in niche situations, not just a superior dominate.


Unfortunately, that niche is also occupied by every other PA-blocked skill which includes a hard CC and Atrophy. Provoke is just plain bad.

It's definitely NOT the same thing as Dominate. Dominate converts an enemy to an ally, usually for more than one turn. Provoke works for a single turn and doesn't change the target's affiliation.
