Ok so i had 2 choices to submit for my Hobbit character DC contest so im posting the one i didnt choose. What do you think?
• Bolg, Chieftain of Mount Gundabad
Minion • Orc
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Fierce.
While you can spot a Dwarf, Bolg is strength +1 for each Orc you spot.
While you can spot 2 Dwarves each orc is hunter 1.
Response: If Bolg is about to take a wound, discard another orc to prevent that.
"The Goblins are upon you! Bolg of the North is coming..."
The gametext comes from the enmity between the orc of the north and the dwarves particularly because Bolg’s dad Azog was killed by none other than our resident dwarf himself Dain Ironfoot.
The response ability is due to the book saying he had many bodyguards and no one could get near Bolg as his orcs clustrered tightly round him willing to die for him. |

Yeah, I agree with SoP. might be okay. And I’d put a cap on that Dwarf thing, or perhaps switch it to hunter 1 for each. |

Each Orc is hunter 1 for each Dwarf you spot.
Bolg is strength +1 for each Orc you can spot.
Response: If Bolg is about to take a wound, discard another orc to prevent that.
"The Goblins are upon you! Bolg of the North is coming..."
Nice card. Maybe you can skip the Dwarf part altogether? I don’t really like such conditional effects, and Bolg already has two cool other effects. |

Im loathed to remove it as its so integral to the feeling of the card, the hate for the dwarves that were responsible for Azog’s death. How does it look now its tweaked a bit more. |

How about...eliminating the hunter thing, and changing the second ability to "While you can spot a Dwarf, Bolg is strength +1 for each Orc you can spot."
Then you might actually be able to drop his cost to . |

Good advice CG but took it and twisted it slightly. What do you think? |
