Any Dramatics skills that are performed (bully, sycophant, bureaucrat, gorgeous, vagabond, diplomat) will have double effect.

Inspiration is gained through influencing denizens based on the skills of Influencing and Dramaturgy. The amount of inspiration is increased if using the Dramatics skills that are performed (bully, sycophant, bureaucrat, gorgeous, vagabond, diplomat) while influencing, and the amount of increase depends on the dramaturge’s skill in Dramatics. While inspiration is used in write scripts in Dramaturgy, the dramaturge can also inspire him or herself, or another, to recover ego.

You can write a scene in your script. By performing the scene, you can also embed an effect which will strike the audience member that you target.
When writing a scene, it MUST include your name in the text (i.e., if your name is "Roark:, then "Roark" should be the subject of the sentence). It also MUST include "^target" as the object. Scenes must also be more than 5 words and less than 45 words. You can also use "^target_his", "^target_him", "^target_he", and "^target's" as pronouns.
Example: With a mischievous grin, Estarra bops ^target on ^target_his head with a high-heeled shoe.
-NOTE: Scenes must make sense, not be obscene, and should be obvious that you are doing something to the target. Be aware that all scenes are recorded for administrative review.
==Haemophilia==

You will naturally be able to dodge attacks, depending on how fine your clothes are. This ability stacks with Acrobatics Dodging.
Dodging is the ability to move out of the way of incoming attacks - this includes physical attacks and some magical attacks that are aimed at you. You will only be able to dodge those attacks which you can see coming, making this ability of limited use against psionic attacks, dreamweavers, and long-ranged attacks where your assailant is not near to you.

|}
You can write a climax and perform it at others like any scene. For a climax, however, you can embed 5 Dramaturgy afflictions instead of just one. You cannot have any subtext in a climax. See AB DRAMATURGY FIRSTSCENE.
When performing a climax with all 5 effect embedded, you will give the target all 5 afflictions. However, if the target already has one of these afflictions, he or she will be stunned instead of receiving that affliction. The stun time will lengthen based on how many of the embeded afflictions he or she already has.
