Alright, so if I have my thoughts on taunt correct, then it has a bog nimbus type effect if the target can be reached by the taunter. There seem to be a couple issues with it effecting a rogue's ability to circle stab or hamstring.

In this fight, my rogue is taunted, on the third row, by a swashbuckler wielding a slashing weapon(Which I find a bit strange in the first place) but the problem that I think is afterwards, when I can't circle stab or hamstring, since I'm considered in combat. I'm not fighting anyone, though.

white granite of the sheer fortress walls more fortifications are
being constructed. Sheathed in timber scaffolding, the walls and
towers of a tall keep are slowly rising in the north of the city, as the
people of Exile labour to rebuild their palace, destroyed so many years ago.

What I'm wondering is, was I mistaken about taunt, or aren't you supposed to be able to reach the taunted? Secondly, aren't you supposed to be able to hamstring if no one is in melee with you? Does being shot at disable you from circle stabbing?

I've seen other problems with being unable to circle stab or leave the room even though you aren't in combat, but this seems to be taunt related.

No, you are not supposed to be able to reach him. You taunt him verbally, not by patting a weapon on him :P Regarding your inability to use rogue skills while taunted and not in melee, it does strike me as weird, indeed. Looks like a bug to me.

The inability to flee is no bug, the hamstring part is.

You were getting damage from arrows. This is where you defend yourself, this is why you can't use circle stab/hamstring.

Ranged combat ftw.

Okay.
Ohh I remember now. I was thinking of songs of sleep, as far as the reaching matter is concerned.
Nevermind me.

Ranged combat isn't considered melee however. She should still be able to hamstring. If ranged combat was considered melee, then you couldn't just walk out of a room that you were shooting someone from behind a pet in while skirmishing..as you can do.

Still a bug.

It doesn't say "You are in melee combat", it says "You are too busy defending yourself"(as in shield blocking arrows). It's not a bug, that's how it always worked. At least it worked from when I had Dakog like 1.5-2 years ago.

He's not too busy defending himself, he's too busy getting turned into a pincushion. There's a difference.

I've had similar problems in the past with issues like this, but nothing I've been able to duplicate again recently.

For example, one time I dirt-kicked a high-level dragon NPC to initiate combat, and afterwards was unable to circle/hamstring, although I was taking no blows and in the third row. I'll look into it some more, maybe there are simply certain NPCs/weapons that disable these moves when they shouldn't.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just forgot to post it before. No-spam is set to all, I believe.

Now, this -was- about five months ago, so if there's been any changes, then so be it. Otherwise, that might want to be investigated.

I remember that incident. It was looking weird that you couldn't circle/hamstring, very weird. And the result was not good either.

I remember also what I went through for corpse recovery afterwards. I hate whoever thought it would be nice for a simple dragon to have a certain spell 24/7. :(
