•Anduril, Great Blade
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be a unique Man. Bearer is damage +1.
Fellowship: If bearer is Aragorn, add or have him lose a keyword he has until the regroup phase to make him strength + 2 until the regroup phase (limit +3).
"Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be."

So, technically you could make him lose ’Man’ or ! Fun! Should cost more (it’s not a ring, however much it looks like one, with the vitality bonus and such like) maybe if you raised the limit. And the ability should be maneuver, otherwise you can’t see the minions in play when you use it. And take out the add bit, it’s more fun without it.

•Aragorn, Renowned Ranger
Companion • Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 8
Archer. Damage +1. Defender +1. Hunter 1. Ranger.
Each time the fellowship moves, add a burden.
"I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail."

Hilarious! Archer might be a bit much. Also, put armor of the white city on him, then he’s a knight as well and his sword is even better!

•Boromir, Tempted by the Ring
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 5
Ranger.
Boromir is strength +1 for each burden. Discard Boromir if he has 0 resistance.
"He would have stretched out his hand to this thing, and taking it, he would have fallen."

Very clever.

•Denethor, Misguided
Companion • Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 5
Each time a companion takes a wound, wound Denethor or add a burden.
"We shall burn, like the heathen kings of old."

Again, very clever. I think is too cheap, though, his penalty isn’t the worst thing ever. Though in combination with aragorn above, this is an easy road to corruption.

•Faramir, Fallen Son
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
When you play Faramir, if you spot 3 or more burdens, you may remove a burden.
While this is in your dead pile, each companion with a resistance of 6 or higher is strength +1.
"I do not believe this darkness will endure."

He never actually died, though did he! His second ability is useless given the characters you just quoted above, so all I can say is that I hope there are more resistance boosting and/or burden removing cards.

•Anduril, Great Blade

Vitality: +1
Bearer must be a unique Man. Bearer is damage +1.
Maneuver: If bearer is Aragorn, add or have him lose a keyword he has until the regroup phase to make him strength + 3 until the regroup phase (limit +5).
"Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be."
loaded or unloaded? or both that would make sense

Ranger.
Boromir is strength +1 for each burden. Discard Boromir if he has 0 resistance.

cut his resistance to 4.

weird
•Faramir, Fallen Son
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
When you play Faramir, if you spot 3 or more burdens, you may remove a burden.
Each companion with a resistance of 6 or higher is strength +1 for each card in your dead pile.
Each companion with a resistance of 5 or lower is strength -1 for each card in your dead pile.
"I do not believe this darkness will endure."

•The Palantíri, Stones of Seeing

Thanks for the comments! Time for the culture.

Dain is right, it needs a cost. The gondor cards are fine, by the way.

Very nice, but preventing or canceling events is not a common thing in LOTR, so I have no idea how balanced the ability is. I’d be tempted to just remove it from the game and not cancel it, but I’m not sure.
