Plasma Die skill needed

[ManvilleFog]

Plasma: {} NOTE: Plasma has been changed from the old site, and only uses squiggly brackets to indicate its die-type.

(Implemented, but not found listed in the original site captures)

Plasma Dice were created for the Space Girlz set for buttonmen.dhs.org. Plasma Dice are represented by a "P" and "{}" before a die, with a comma seperated list of skills within the brackets. Plasma is a meta-skill that contains other skills. During the start of a round, and every round lost (and when there are more than 3 ties), the player can select which set of skills are active in the set of the Plasma meta-skill. The list can contain any skill or legal skill combination. In it's original set only 2 sets of skills are listed for each Plasma die, but the list is not limited to that number.

It'd be cool if Plasma could also contain different types and/or values, so you could have things like:

• P{q12,p20}
• P{(6,6),12}

That would be entirely backwards-compatible with the previous definition -- it just means that none of the previous buttons that used Plasma happened to allow any choices other than skills.

@irilyth Then it would no longer be Plasma, but a different die-type. But it's a good idea, I think.

I don't understand why the existing Plasma skill couldn't be expanded to include type and size. What problem would it cause if we changed the existing definition to allow that?
