After successfully using taunt, the wearer takes -2 damage from all attacks made by any monster in the room on the tauntee’s next turn. These boots have no effect on attacks made by a monster that is immune to taunt.
If the wearer of these boots has also equipped Ring of Direct Insults, on the post-taunt round, that character takes -4 damage from the taunted monster and -2 damage from all other monsters.
