While you can spot Boromir, Denethor is strength +1.

Because he’s so specific, I think he’s okay, though I would prefer 7 strength personally.

Cool. I want to recommend raising the cost to , but I think it’s okay as is. Comparable to War and Valor.

I like it. I think you can even drop the strength reduction if you want to.

Ah. Well, perhaps you can leave the strength reduction of the bow, then.

Make sure to capitalize "Gauntlets" in the title. And make the fellowship ability only work on OTHER Men; I think I’d also limit it to rangers. |

Response: If the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, he or she wears The One Ring until the regroup phase. While the Ring-bearer is wearing The One Ring, each time he or she is about to take a wound, add a burden instead.

Nice. Pretty much like The Ring of Rings but with extra vitality instead of resistance.

Tokens may not be removed from this condition.
Once during each skirmish phase, you may add a token here to discard a possession borne by a minion skirmishing a companion. At the start of the regroup phase, discard a card from the top of your draw deck for each token on this condition.
“Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him...”

I would word it like this: "Skirmish: Add a token here to discard a possession borne by a minion skirmishing a companion (limit once per phase)."

I would definitely make it unique.

I would consider dropping the spotting requirement, and instead saying "Each time Faramir wins a skirmish, you may spot Boromir to wound a minion."

Seems a tad underpowered. I would increase the resistance boost to +2 while you can spot Faramir.

I think his base stats are too good. I would reduce them, (especially given his built in strength boost with Lord, a 3/11/3/7 companion is too powerful) then make the bonuses for his sons greater. Also, I think you should remove Faramir from the first bit, or maybe make a separate one for him involving adding burdens, as he cares most about Boromir. Good ideas though.

Does this one give +1 strength or -1 strength? If -1, it’s not good enough. If +1, it’s a little too good (Gondor Bow only gives the boost if you’re a knight)

I feel like this should say, ’bearer must be a Lord’. Otherwise, it’s fine.
Good stuff.

I just switched his drawback a little so now if you can’t spot both of his sons then he gets exhausted.

It gave a -1 strength reduction, but I took that away. |

I’m afraid that (I think) it has to be cards, otherwise you have a strength 8 ring-bearer that isn’t culturally enforced. Currently, you could use this guy in a Dwarf deck without much fear because they can draw loads of cards. I think 2 cards might be sufficient, though.
Others a cool though, though I might make Lorien blade cost (it’s better than blade of lindon, in my opinion). Skill of the Elves is solid.
