* Abilities like this are a staple of the Rogue and, to a lesser degree, the Mage classes in the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' series:
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', the Stealth skill allows rogues to disappear from view even in the middle of combat, resetting all aggro against them from enemies who cannot see them anymore (which depends on their relative levels) after a short while. The Mages, meanwhile, have a spell called Mind Blast, which pushes nearby enemies away while simultaneously reducing their aggro against the caster.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', the Rogues can still use Stealth in combat, but have several new talents to reduce enemies' aggro in combat, such as Armistice (nullify all aggro against themselves or another companion), Goad (redirect all aggro from themselves to a companion), Evade (leap away, simultaneously reducing aggro against themselves), and Subtlety (passively slow down the aggro build-up against them). The Mind Blast spell returns for the mages.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', Mind Blast and Stealth are still the main means of aggro reduction for their respective user classes, but mages now have a passive ability called Peaceful Aura, which passively reduces aggro build-up against them.
