You may initiate this maneuver as part of making a [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]] check against the target, gaining a bonus to it equal to your [[Charisma]] bonus (if any).

Additionally you may initiate this maneuver in response to the target speaking, boasting, bantering and else. You make a  [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]] with a bonus equal to your [[Charisma]] bonus against a DC of 20 + target's ranks in [[SRD:Bluff Skill|Bluff]] + the target's [[Charisma]] modifier. If you succeed, you are able to predict what the target was about to say, and may repeat it to them before the words even leave their mouth.

The target is allowed a [[Will]] save (DC 10 + half your character level + your [[Charisma]] modifier), or be forced to say what they were going to say before being taken by intense surprise, becoming flat-footed until the start of their next turn, or until after being attacked, whichever happens first and [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 1 round. On a successful save the target is only left [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 1 round.
