Normally, I am not the one to talk, but truth is , I was really interested in a feat like this (though one that both the master and all the members of my group saw acceptable). I think all the things said about Antagonize have a point. It is quite nice for a feat that let's you control the battle , who fights who , where and when and I am one that thinks that this feat should make the target do a direct attack. That doesn't mean exclusively melee ones , an archer , with a bow in his hands and pissed enough would fire an arrow but i refuse to accept that pissing a mage enough so that he would attack you let's him coldly choose a spell and cast it without impediment. Now , I can see the point the mage players make. It is kind of stupid on their part, being the clever ones , the cunning minds they are supposed to be, to clench their fist in rage and run out of their safe spots to punch in the face a soldier that is smiling at the caster tantrum. The feat does need to be errated, so that it works as is intended, but making it so that only the most incredible insult , the most heinous words against the mother of the target would make someone with strong will to bend.
After all , this would not be the first time they give us something like Antagonize. Right , the problem is not the effect of the feat , but strenght of it.
EXAMPLE:
Caustic Slur
You know exactly how to insult your favored enemies in order to make them lose their heads.
Prerequisites: Bluff 1 rank, favored enemy class feature, gnome.
Benefit: As a standard action, you can make a Bluff check against one sort of favored enemy. Any creature of that type within 60 feet of you must make a Will saving throw or become angered. If an affected creature attacks you, it's treated as if it were using Power Attack (taking a penalty on attack rolls but gaining a bonus on damage rolls). If the creature already has the power attack feat, the attack penalty increases by 1 and the damage bonus increases by 2. These modifiers end when combat ends. This ability does not work on creatures that cannot understand you, though sometimes a simple gesture is sufficient for an intelligent opponent to catch your gist regardless of any language barrier.

Armor Of Insults
Aura moderate enchantment; CL 7th
Slot armor; Price 16,175 gp; Weight 20 lbs.
Description
Each metal bit of this suit of +1 studded leather looks more like a
tiny sneering face than a simple stud. Once per day the wearer
of the armor may command the mouths to unleash a torrent
of verbal abuse directed against every hostile creature within
60 feet who can see and hear the wearer. Each such creature
must make a DC 16 Will saving throw to avoid suffering an
overwhelming compulsion to attack the wearer for the next
7 rounds. If the creature is unable to attack the wearer on its
next turn, or attacking the wearer would put the creature at
risk (moving through a threatened square, charging into a
pit, and so on) it can act normally that turn. This is a mindaffecting
sonic effect, and has no effect on creatures that do
not use a spoken language.
I think that if noone had a problem with this two examples before, something of the kind can be made with Antagonize, but discussing who is right or who is wrong will not solve it. Let's just wait for an official answer
Well ,thanks for listening to my rants, and sorry for my english , I tried. XD
