Fellowship as in the keyword from ages end or just "one of the 9 companions"? Seems ok.

Hmmm 1 threat doesnt seem enough but 2 seems excessive.

Doesnt seem powerful enough you could drop the cost to 1 or even 0.

Again for the benefit cost 2 and an elven event seems excessive.

Ditto above. For a main companion to become a follower so u cant use him in your fellowship this needs to be way better.
∙Frodo, Armed with Compassion and Pity
Follower
Resistance +1

Too much effort to make a companion gain fellowship. He could easily cost 1 or 0.

Similar comments to above, the benefit could be better.

Awesome ability but this time youve made the aid way too costly. 2 shire events might be better to keep the bearer alive than discarding them. Chaange to back to 1 like the others.

SoP, uniqueness still applies, you can’t use the follower Aragorn and the companion Aragorn at the same time.

I like the aid cost, and it’s a nice card. Although it doesn’t really fit well into a true Fellowship deck, since you wouldn’t have a lot of events to spare. Very good. I like how you can dump this on Frodo. Too bad this can’t be paired with the Fellowship Aragorn...although then maybe that would be overkill.

Sweet combo with Aragorn. I think the cost is decent, probably well-costed.

Wow, interesting. I don’t know if I’d use him, though. I mean, hand clog to the extreme? Although a huge strength boost to the RB is always nice.

Nice, a good combo with the Frodo-Aragorn fellowship. But it is kinda weak otherwise.

Interesting. I assume you have use for this? Heh, this could be bad with Wariness against it.
Should read "While this follower is attached to a companion..."

I have a fundamental problem with these cards, which is summarised as follows:
1) I don’t think it makes any sense to use these followers of the fellowship of the ring in decks which use the fellowship of the ring (and I really object to Frodo making any companion gain fellowship) because you should have all 9 companions in such decks - otherwise, what’s the point?
2) All of them tend to have powerful abilities to balance out their limited use. I’d make them more universally usable then bring the effects down accordingly.
3) I think they should be built to work with decks that precisely are not the Fellowship of the Ring like in Rohan or Gondor or the Scouring of the Shire, where the characters played a major role, but not as a combined unit.
The cards from an objective viewpoint are great and finely balanced, but the theme is just not striking the right chord with me at the moment.
