    Shadow[edit source]

    Button Notation: horizontal line above number, s
    BMO Notation: s

    Shadow Dice are normal in all respects, except that they can not make Power Attacks. Instead, they can make inverted Power Attacks, called Shadow Attacks.

    Shadow Attack: Use one of your Shadow Dice to capture one of your opponent’s dice. The target die must show a value equal to or greater than the attacking die, but within its range.

    For example, a Shadow 12 showing 7 can capture any value between 7 and 12.

    Shadow Dice can make Skill Attacks normally.


    Slow[edit source]

    Button Notation: w
    BMO Notation: w

    Slow Dice do not count for going first.

    Slow Dice were originally used by Dana Huyler for the rare BROM button Giant on the original Button Men Online site. It was later used in the official promotional set at Origins on the Beatnik Turtle button.


    Stealth[edit source]

    Button Notation: downward-pointing triangle
    BMO Notation: d

    Stealth Dice can only make Multi-Die Skill attacks.

    Stealth Dice may only be captured by multi-die Skill Attacks.

    Stealth Dice were introduced in the Howling Wolf/White Tiger set.


    T Swing Dice can be any die between 2 and 12. Swing Dice are allowed to be any integral size between their upper and lower limit, including both ends, and including nonstandard die sizes like 17 or 9. Each player chooses his or her Swing Die in secret at the beginning of the match, and thereafter the loser of each round may change their Swing Die between rounds. If a character has any two Swing Dice of the same letter, they must always be the same size.
