|description = 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 to write scripts in Dramaturgy, the dramaturge can also inspire him or herself, or another, to recover ego.

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.

|description = 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 effects 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 embedded afflictions he or she already has.
The major difference between other scenes and climax is that climax does not afflict with any of those afflictions. Instead, when performing a climax with all 5 effects embedded, if the target already has one of these afflictions, he or she will be stunned and drained of ego. The stun time and egoloss will increase based on how many of the embedded afflictions he or she already has.
 
Each affliction the target has will be cured upon a climax.
 
If the target is under 50% ego afterwards, they will instantly be killed.
