Vicious's Skills

Auxiliary

Button Notation:	+
BMO Notation:	+

Before each round, both players decide whether or not to play with one of their Auxiliary Dice. Usually, either both players use one, or both players don’t.

If you fight against a player who has no Auxiliary Dice, and you wish to use your own, chivalry dictates that you offer your opponent the option to use an Auxiliary equivalent to your own. “Equivalent” means a die of the same size and type. In the case of an Auxiliary variable die, such as a Swing Die, each player’s die can vary independently.

Auxiliary Dice appear in the Pendragon Button Lords set of Button Men, published by Green Knight publishing.

Berserk

Button Notation:	B
BMO Notation:	B

Berserk Dice cannot be used in Skill Attacks, but may make Power Attacks normally.

Berserk Attack: Berserk Dice also have a second attack, called a Berserk Attack, which is the equivalent of a Speed Attack. In this attack, one die can capture any number of dice which add up exactly to its value. However, unlike in a Speed Attack, after making a Berserk Attack the Berserk Die is replaced by a normal die half its size (rounding fractions up) before it is rerolled.

Berserk Dice were first published in the Bruno set.

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.

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.
