    Gavin's Skills[edit | edit source]

    Focus[edit source]

    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.


    Insult[edit source]

    Button Notation: I
    BMO Notation: I

    Insult Dice cannot be captured with a Skill Attack.

    Insult Dice first appeared in the Gaming Guardians set.


    Maximum[edit source]

    Button Notation: L on Loaded, || in GWAR set
    BMO Notation: M

    Maximum dice only roll their highest possible value. A Maximum d4 can only roll a 4. By their very nature, d1's are Maximum dice even if not marked as such. Maximum Dice appeared in the Gaming Guardians set as "Loaded Dice." Maximum dice also appeared in the GWAR set, using an absolute value notation ( "|#|" ).


    Shadow[edit source]

    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.


    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.
