Arcane's Skills

Fire

Button Notation:	Glowing frame, F
BMO Notation:	F

Fire Dice cannot make Power Attacks.

Before making a Skill or Power Attack, you may increase the value showing on any of the attacking dice, and decrease the values showing on one or more of your Fire Dice by the same amount. For example, if you wish to increase the value of an attacking die by 5 points, you can take 5 points away from one or more of your Fire Dice. Turn the Fire Dice to show the adjusted values, and then make the attack as normal. Dice can never be increased or decreased outside their normal range, i.e., a 10-side die can never show a number lower than 1 or higher than 10. Fire Dice cannot assist attacks other than normal Power or Skill Attacks. They are indicated by a flaming appearance to their dice ovals.

Fire Dice were designed for the PolyCon button set.

To use Fire Dice on Buttonmen Online, pick the dice other than the fire dice needed for the attack, then click the [Beat People Up!] button to go to the Fire Die screen.

Fire Dice/Queer Dice FAQ: You cannot use a Fire die to adjust a Queer die so it can swap from a power to skill attack. James Ernest ruled that to use Fire with a Power attack you'd need to add two to the die, as otherwise it would make the attack illegal. Button Men Online does not require this, however, as the attack type is 'locked in' before changing the Fire dice.

Poison

Button Notation:	p
BMO Notation:	p

Poison Dice are worth negative points. If you keep one of your own Poison Dice, you subtract its full size from your score. If you capture an opponent’s Poison Die, subtract half its size.

Shadow

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.

Twin

Button Notation:	Two numbers in a figure-eight frame
BMO Notation:	( , )

Twin dice are played as two dice that are rolled together and added together.

For example, a Twin 8 is represented as (8,8) and is treated as a single die that can roll values between 2 and 16. The two 8s are rolled as one, captured as one, and scored as one die worth 16 points. When they first appeared, Twin Dice always had the same number repeated twice. Twin Dice with unequal numbers also appeared in later expansions.

X Swing Dice can be any die between 4 and 20. 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.
