Dramaturge

The dramaturge is the backbone of any theatrical performance, at least, the good ones that is. These advisor’s have a particular penchant for performance, although they rarely take center stage themselves. Instead, they’re able to use their own knowledge of the theater to give others the spotlight.

Actor

A dramaturge gains the Performance sphere as well as the Orchestrator talent as bonus skill talents at 1st level, but must choose the (act) package.

This replaces leader.

Music Practice

At 2nd level, the dramaturge’s rigorous teacher ability only applies to Artistry and Perform checks, although the maximum bonus that he can grant increases by 2.

Instead of being able to teach additional skill uses, the dramaturge instead chooses one type of Perform skill, plus an additional Perform skill for every 4 advisor levels he possesses. Whenever the dramaturge uses the teach skill use for one of the chosen Perform skills, the taught creatures (including himself) can choose to use their own bonus in that Perform skill in place of their bonus in that skill’s related skills. The types of Perform and their related skills are: Act (Bluff, Disguise), Comedy (Bluff, Intimidate), Dance (Acrobatics, Fly), Keyboard Instruments (Diplomacy, Intimidate), Oratory (Diplomacy, Sense Motive), Percussion (Handle Animal, Intimidate), Sing (Bluff, Sense Motive), String (Bluff, Diplomacy), and Wind (Diplomacy, Handle Animal).

This alters rigorous teacher.

Stage Help

At 4th level, a creature can use the aid another action as part of the same action it takes to complete a scene from the dramaturge’s act (minimum move action, unless they are a dramaturge). When a creature uses the aid another action in this way, they can choose to grant two bonuses instead of one (such as granting the aid another bonus to the ally’s AC and attack rolls made towards one creature), or to have the one bonus be relevant to two opponents instead of one.

If the dramaturge uses aid another on an ally he has synergy with, its benefits last until the end of the aided creature's next turn, instead of only applying to a single instance of a roll. Such allies can also use the aid another action on the dramaturge as an immediate action.

This replaces shared experience.

Collaborative Act

At 5th level, whenever the dramaturge uses the Orchestrator talent, he can grant non-utility Performance sphere talents when doing so.

Additionally, whenever any synergised ally completes a scene from an act originating from the dramaturge or their other synergised ally, they treat their associated ranks as being 1 higher for the purposes of determining this act’s effects (to a maximum equal to the dramaturge’s operative modifier (minimum 1)).

This replaces collaborative leverage.

Esprit de Drame

At 17th level, the dramaturge can use an act’s finale regardless of the scene’s that have been completed, or if he is not within the act’s approach. A finale that is reliant on a previous scene to function (such as A Gilded Tower or the Lowly Peasant talents) still requires the requisite approach and/or scene to be completed.

This replaces esprit de corps.

Dramatic Tutelage

The dramaturge’s veracious tutelage ability only applies to Artistry and Perform checks, although he can use it without requiring rapport, both the dramaturge and the target must be able to perceive each other.

At 20th level, the dramaturge can begin two act’s whenever he starts an act.

This alters veracious tutelage.
