Florida's Skills

Chaos

Button Notation:	@
BMO Notation:	@ (not implemented)

Chaos Dice gain a random skill each time they are rolled. Whenever a Chaotic Die is re-rolled, it loses the previous skill it was granted. They have an @ at the top of their dice oval.

Chaos Dice were created by JeffBoyardee.

Circa 2001 on the original Button Men Online site, Chaotic Dice could gain Berserk, Doppelganger, Jolt, Mighty, Null, Ornery, Poison, Queer, Radioactive, Rage, Speed, Standard(no skill), Stealth, Trip, Time and Space, Value, or Weak 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.

Reserve

Button Notation:	Alternate color text
BMO Notation:	r

Whenever you lose a round to your opponent, you may move any one of your character’s Reserve Dice into your Starting Dice for the next round (the same rule applies to your opponent after they lose a round). When the next round begins, you will now have one extra die to use during play. This reassignment of Reserve Dice to Starting Dice applies to any round and once a Reserve Die is converted to a Starting Die, it remains in play as a Starting Die for every subsequent round until the match is over. Transforming a Reserve Die into a Starting Die is not a requirement if you lose; it is always optional. Characters who just won the previous round cannot transform their Reserve Dice.

For any abilities that look for Variable Dice, Reserve Dice count as Variable Dice.

Reserve Dice first appeared in the Sailor Moon sets.

Slow

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.

Stinger

Button Notation:	Blue frame, cube outline background
BMO Notation:	g

Stinger Dice do not count for going first.

Stinger Dice may be used as any number from their lowest possible value up to the value they currently show in a skill attack. A Die showing 4 and a Stinger Die showing 6 can make a Skill Attack on any die showing 5-10. Two Stinger dice each showing 10 could Skill Attack any dice showing from 2-20.

Weak

Button Notation:	h
BMO Notation:	h

Weak Dice shrink one available die size smaller every time they are re-rolled. Weak Dice first officially appeared in the Space Girlz set exclusive to the first Button Men Online site and the Button Men Mobile app. Weak Dice were originally created for the Button Men Online site by Dana Huyler.

U Swing Dice can be any die between 8 and 30. 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.
