Flavor Text	Frankie has had so many obnoxious drunks cause trouble in his bar, a quiet oasis in a desert of neon, that he can tell what moves the troublemakers will use before they even know themselves. Despite his unremarkable stature, when trouble is unavoidable, Frankie is more than capable of beating people up.

Frankie's Skills

Turbo Swing

Button Notation:	!
BMO Notation:	!

Before the round, a Turbo Swing can be any size in the allowable range. During the game, whenever you re-roll a Turbo Swing you may choose a new size for it.

In a tournament, if you are not allowed to change Swing Dice, your Turbo must start the next round with the same value that it started the last round.

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.

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.
