For all of you all who have read the Lord of the Rings, you know about the sack of the Shire towards the end of the book. You also probably know that several ruffian men under Saruman (including Grima Wormtongue) were slain by Hobbit archers. It would be really cool if they had a Shire companion/ally archer. |

so you mean somthing like this?
Hobbit bowman
strength 3
vitality 3
resistance 6
companion hobbit
archer
archery: exert hobbit bowman and spot grima to make the fellowship archery total +1 (or +2 if you can spot grima and saruman.) |
There is a power in this world beyond any of us, and Jesus is that power and The Savior.
this is my attempt to look cool.

That’s something like what I had in mind. I’d change spotting Grima or Saruman to spotting a Man to make archery +1 (or +2 if you can spot Pippin or Merry) |

I think that the text would be great for an ally. You could have a "sidekick" for the companion of a hobbit archer. |

Exert three archers to make the fellowship archery total +3, or to discard an minion.
Before Frodo could recover or speak a word, three hobbit bows twanged...

That’s probably the best template for this card. I think that this type of card wouldn’t fare well as a companion. |
