 All effects of [[Enactment]] which does not affect the game state is [[Extra-Game Consequences]] that in many cases also can provide [[Social Rewards]] as others can appreciate the performances. However, [[Enactment]] can give rise to [[Player/Character Skill Composites]] when the [[Enactment]] of players can affect other players' behavior or the opinion of [[Game Masters]]. That said, players may identify more with their [[Characters]] by having performed their actions themselves, and through this gain an [[Emotional Attachment]] to them.
-[[Enactment]] is often a form of [[Social Interaction]], especially when two or more players are engaged in it at the same time. This can lead to players [[Competing for Attention]], especially in games with [[Game Masters]]. Further, [[Enactment]] is a skill and becoming good at it is a form of [[Game Mastery]]. The two points, and the fact that [[Enactment]] draws attention argues why [[Enactment]] support the "exhibitionist" [[Social Roles|Social Role]].

 As has been mentioned above, [[Enactment]] risks breaking [[Diegetic Consistency]] and is likely to produce [[Storytelling]] when used together with [[Roleplaying]].

-[[Enactment]] allows actions to be slightly different from each other, and since this can depend on the surroundings in which the actions are performed, the pattern allows for [[Context Dependent Reactions]].

 [[Enactment]] can be done by small means. In [[:Category:Tabletop Roleplaying Games|Tabletop Roleplaying Games]], players can say what their [[Characters]] say and look, point, etc. at the other players to indicate that their [[Characters]] are doing these actions. [[Physical Enactment]] is the [[Enactment]] of actions that require larger movement or more demanding skills (one common difference is that non-physical [[Enactment]] does not require [[Dexterity-Based Actions]]), and when combined with [[Roleplaying]] this gives rise to [[Live Action Roleplaying]].
