Illinois's Skills

Option

Button Notation:	Two numbers separated by a horizontal line
BMO Notation:	/

Option Dice look like fractions. They are represented as two numbers within a circular Dice Frame, separated by a horizontal line. Option Dice function like Swing Dice, and can be changed at any time that a Swing Die could be changed. However, they can only take one of the two values shown.

For example a 4/12 Option Die could be either a 4 or a 12.

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.

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.

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.

Stealth

Button Notation:	downward-pointing triangle
BMO Notation:	d

Stealth Dice can only make Multi-Die Skill attacks.

Stealth Dice may only be captured by multi-die Skill Attacks.

Stealth Dice were introduced in the Howling Wolf/White Tiger set.

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.

R Swing Dice can be any die between 2 and 16. 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.
