ok, i’ll change balin, at your service to strength +2.
and i’m not so sure about the other one. i definately want him to reveal an opponent’s hand, because he was the lookout, then, i think it would be more balanced to discard a shadow card revealed since you have exerted balin, and it is the maneuver phase, but "and draw a card does sound good." however, the discarding text would fit better with dwarven discarding decks. so i think i’ll stick with it.
here are the next two dwarves to step through bilbo’s door:
 •Kili, At Your Service 
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Hunter 2.
While you can spot Bilbo, Kili gains muster.
While you can spot Thorin, Kili is strength +2 and cannot be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.
•Kili, The Fiddler
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Hunter 2.
While Kili bears a hand-weapon, he is damage +1.
Fellowship: Add two threats to heal a Dwarf.
Skirmish: if Kili is about to be overwhelmed, exert him to make him unable to be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.
•Fili, At Your Service
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 5
Hunter 1.
While you can spot Bilbo, Fili takes no more then one wound during each skirmish phase.
While you can spot Thorin, Fili is resistance +1 for each dwarf you can spot.
•Fili, Cleaner of Dishes
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 5
Hunter 1.
Maneuver: Exert Fili to play a or  possession from your draw deck.
Notes: Fili and Kili were the youngest dwarves of the expedition, so i gave them no damage bonus, and lower strength. but they did have excellent eyesight, so they both get the Hunter keyword. |

He’s all but useless without Thorin and Bilbo. I’d make him strength of at least 5...possibly even 6 since his text is SO specific.
Oh, almost missed the hunter 2 part. Put him at 5 strength, then.

Same not on the strength here, though the damage bonus is nice. You could probably get by with 5 strength here.

Specific once again, but I think that, unlike Kili, he’s okay as is.

Heh. Cute subtitle. 
I’d limit it to (and MAYBE ) possessions. He’s good otherwise.
Nice ideas overall. Good job. |

thanks,
i forgot to enforce the culture of the possessions. i’ll change that.
the whole idea of the "at your service" dwarves is that you must play bilbo and thorin. and i will introduce a few new bilbo’s, one will be a ring-bearer that ties into that strategy. but i guess i can increase kili’s strength one.
thanks for the review! |

 •Dori, At Your Service
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 8
Vitality: 2
Resistance: 6
Damage +1.
While you can spot Bilbo and Thorin, Dori is vitality +1 and strength +1.
•Dori, Strongest of the Company
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 8
Vitality: 2
Resistance: 6
Damage +1.
At the start of each skirmish involving this companion, you may draw a card and then place a card beneath your draw deck.
Notes: Dori was the strongest person in thorin’s company, so he has the highest strength, naturaly. The "At Your Service" version gives a high reward, but is dependant on both Bilbo and Thorin. the second version fit in with cycling dwarves. my one big question is: should his twilight cost be ? |

I’ll answer your last question first:

Yes. I’m not comfortable with a 2-vitalty Dwarf, personally, but 8/2 stats merit cost.

Yeah, I’d use him if I had Thorin and Bilbo around for sure.

Interesting that you do it in that order: draw and THEN discard. I like it. |

•Nori, At Your Service
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Damage +1.
If a Dwarf is about to take a wound, spot Bilbo bearing The One Ring, and add a burden or two threats to prevent that wound.
While you can spot Thorin, each time Nori wins a skirmish you may remove a threat.
•Nori, Of the Lonely Mountain
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Damage +1.
If this companion loses a skirmish, you may add a threat to wound a minion (if that minion is assigned to the Ring-Bearer, exert it instead.).
If this companion is about to be killed, exert a dwarf to remove all threats. |

I think it would be more technically correct if it said:
"If a Dwarf is about to take a wound, spot Bilbo bearing The One Ring and add a burden or two threats to prevent that wound."
Note the capitalization.

Whoa whoa whoa. Too good. Do one or the other. |

good catch with the wording there.
with the second one, i really want both abilities, what if the cost is increased to add three burdens and exert three Dwarves to discard a minion. |

needs to be Ring, AND add a burden... otherwise fine.

this doesn’t need to be capitalized ID think. kinda weird make the second ability skirmishing an unbound companion. |
