Quick Answer
To use Roll Player boost dice with Monsters & Minions, set up the extra dice alongside your standard set, draft them during the dice-drafting phase, and apply their effects immediately to your character sheet.
Why Use Extra Dice in Monsters & Minions
The Monsters & Minions expansion adds new layers of strategy to Roll Player, and the boost dice and attribute dice give you more ways to customize your character. Boost dice let you push your stats higher or trigger special effects, while attribute dice offer more color variety for class requirements.
Using these extra dice is optional, but they can make the game more dynamic, especially if you're looking for a deeper dice-drafting experience. They also work as replacements if you've lost any of your original dice.
Understanding the Dice Types
The boost dice (11 total) are designed to enhance your character's abilities when rolled or drafted. The attribute dice (7 total) come in colors like white, black, green, blue, red, purple, and gold, matching the attribute colors used in the base game.
Knowing which dice are which helps you integrate them without disrupting the game's balance. Boost dice are typically used for temporary or conditional bonuses, while attribute dice are assigned to stats just like your regular dice.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Boost Dice
- Set up the extra dice: Before starting the game, add the boost dice and attribute dice to the dice pool you'll draft from. Shuffle them with the regular dice so they appear randomly during the draft. If you're using them as replacements, swap out any missing dice from your base set. Make sure the extra dice are clearly visible and mixed well to avoid predictable drafts.
- Draft the dice: During the dice-drafting phase, when you pick a boost die or attribute die, place it on your character sheet as you would any other die. Boost dice can be used to enhance a stat or trigger a special effect from the Monsters & Minions rules. Remember that boost dice are not permanent upgrades—use them when they provide the most immediate benefit.
- Apply the effects: After drafting, immediately apply the die's effect to your character. For attribute dice, assign them to the matching attribute color. For boost dice, follow the specific effect described in the Monsters & Minions rules, such as adding a bonus to a roll or activating a special ability. Double-check that you've applied the effect before moving to the next phase—forgetting to do so is a common mistake.
