New Hampshire's Skills

Focus

Button Notation:	Black frame, f
BMO Notation:	f

Focus Dice help characters go first. After the starting roll, if you are not going first, you can reduce the values on your Focus Dice so that you are going first. Your opponent can respond by reducing their Focus Dice, and so on until both players are ready to begin, or can’t reduce their dice any farther.

If you go first, you can’t make an attack with any of the Focus Dice that you turned down. The second player has no such restriction.

Focus dice were introduced in the Legend of the Five Rings set.

Mood Swing

Button Notation:	?
BMO Notation:	?

Before the round, a Mood Swing can be any size in the allowable range. During the game, whenever you re-roll a Mood Swing it will randomly change size. Mood Swings always choose from among all common die sizes (not all integers) with equal probability. The definition of “common” die sizes is 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20. For a "Y?," add 1, 2, and optionally 16 as selections, for a "Z?" add an optional d16 and d30, and for a "P?" add a 1, 2, 16, 24, and 30.

Button Men Online omits the d16 from the Y? and Z? swing dice based upon precedent set by the original BMO site. Using a d16 in live play is thus optional as long as all players agree. A Moody P-Swing did not exist until after the current Button Men Online site and thus uses the d16 and d24.

Ornery

Button Notation:	o
BMO Notation:	o

Ornery Dice re-roll at the end of each turn even if they did not attack. They are indicated with an "o" on the bottom of the dice oval.

Ornery Dice were created for the original Button Men Online site by JeffBoyardee.

Rage

Button Notation:	R
BMO Notation:	G

Rage Dice do not count for going first.

If a Rage Die attacks, it loses the Rage skill.

If a Rage Die is captured, add a copy of it to your Active Dice Pool and roll it. It loses the Rage skill.

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.

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.

V Swing Dice can be any die between 6 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.

W Swing Dice can be any die between 4 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.
