Mood Swing

Button Notation:	?
BMO Notation:	?

Before the round, a Mood Swing can be any size in the allowable range. During the game, whenever you re-roll a Mood Swing it will randomly change size. Mood Swings always choose from among all common die sizes (not all integers) with equal probability. The definition of “common” die sizes is 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 20. For a "Y?," add 1, 2, and optionally 16 as selections, for a "Z?" add an optional d16 and d30, and for a "P?" add a 1, 2, 16, 24, and 30.

Button Men Online omits the d16 from the Y? and Z? swing dice based upon precedent set by the original BMO site. Using a d16 in live play is thus optional as long as all players agree. A Moody P-Swing did not exist until after the current Button Men Online site and thus uses the d16 and d24.

Ornery

Button Notation:	o
BMO Notation:	o

Ornery Dice re-roll at the end of each turn even if they did not attack. They are indicated with an "o" on the bottom of the dice oval.

Ornery Dice were created for the original Button Men Online site by JeffBoyardee.

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.

Queer

Button Notation:	Q
BMO Notation:	q

Queer Dice are treated as Standard Dice if showing an even number.

Queer Dice are treated as Shadow Dice if showing an odd number.

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.

Speed

Button Notation:	Red frame, lighting bolt
BMO Notation:	z

Speed Dice are normal in all respects, except that they have an additional attack called a Speed Attack. This is basically an inverted Skill attack.

Speed Attack: Use one Speed die to capture any number of your opponent’s dice. The dice you capture must add up exactly to the value of the Speed die. Re-roll the Speed Die and take the captured dice out of play.

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.
