Merlin'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.

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.
