Fire

Button Notation:	Glowing frame, F
BMO Notation:	F

Fire Dice cannot make Power Attacks.

Before making a Skill or Power Attack, you may increase the value showing on any of the attacking dice, and decrease the values showing on one or more of your Fire Dice by the same amount. For example, if you wish to increase the value of an attacking die by 5 points, you can take 5 points away from one or more of your Fire Dice. Turn the Fire Dice to show the adjusted values, and then make the attack as normal. Dice can never be increased or decreased outside their normal range, i.e., a 10-side die can never show a number lower than 1 or higher than 10. Fire Dice cannot assist attacks other than normal Power or Skill Attacks. They are indicated by a flaming appearance to their dice ovals.

Fire Dice were designed for the PolyCon button set.

To use Fire Dice on Buttonmen Online, pick the dice other than the fire dice needed for the attack, then click the [Beat People Up!] button to go to the Fire Die screen.

Fire Dice/Queer Dice FAQ: You cannot use a Fire die to adjust a Queer die so it can swap from a power to skill attack. James Ernest ruled that to use Fire with a Power attack you'd need to add two to the die, as otherwise it would make the attack illegal. Button Men Online does not require this, however, as the attack type is 'locked in' before changing the Fire dice.

Mighty

Button Notation:	H
BMO Notation:	H

Mighty Dice grow one available die size larger every time they are re-rolled. Mighty Dice first officially appeared in the Space Girlz set exclusive to the first Button Men Online site and the Button Men Mobile app. It was originally created on the original Button Men Online site by user Santiago.

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.

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.

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.
