Success indicates the targeted creature (s) chooses you as it's attack target, even if doing so would be unfavorable or provoke attacks of opportunity. The creature still gets to decide how it may attack, and may use actions that target more than one creature, as long as the action targets, or is centered on, you. This effect lasts a number rounds equal to your Sentinel levels plus your Charisma bonus (if any.) This is a Mind-Affecting, Compulsion effect. A creature that succeeds on it's Will save cannot be affected by the same Sentinel's Provoke for 24 hours.
