If you can spot 3 threats, remove a threat.
If each companion is wounded, the move limit for this turn is +1.
If you can spot 3 or more minions, discard 2 minions.
But in the West the dying sun had set all the fume on fire, and now Mindolluin stood black against a burning smoulder flecked with embers.
I agree with lem0n: make them choose one. And this probably needs SOME manner of cultural enforcement.

Awesome. Perhaps go really nuts and make it hunter 2 if they are all mounted.

Each time a minion skirmishing Aragorn exerts or takes a wound, you may exert a minion not assigned to skirmish (or a minion skirmishing a hunter companion).
’But for myself, and any that will go with me . . .’
Agree with lem0n again, on both parts. Perhaps make each minion skirmishing Aragorn strength -1 or lose hunter 1 while you can spot Legolas. Also, while I understand the subtitle, you have to change it. I can’t help but hear the finale of the William Tell Overture when I read that.  I also see no reason not to make him a ranger.

Hmmm. I guess the fact that they each spot one other is okay. The ability is alright here, but perhaps make it 1 card for one hunter or 2 if you can spot 2 hunters. I’d also consider limiting it to hunter companions.

Instead of twice per skirmish, perhaps make it at the beginning of that skirmish, and allow it to wound instead if you can spot 3 hunters.
Wow, now I feel like I’ve gone and rewritten all your cards.  They’re good as is, really, but those were just my thoughts as I went through. |

I agree with lem0n and DI on all counts (except for but four remain, for which I think it would be entirely overpowered with Dain’s suggestion and also is already overpowered by making four cultures hunters, especially with regards to ), but I add my own thoughts as well.
Wouldn’t it be more interesting for each of the three hunters to make another member of the three hunters gain hunter (for example, Aragorn could say ’Gimli gains hunter 1.? (I used hunter far too much in that sentence, but never mind). Then you could use them in a forth the three hunters deck without a hunter version of one or more of the characters. Plus hunter 2 on companions is almost always woefully overpowered, but Decipher did it, so I understand why you did.

Great idea, but not very effective or particularly good. Firstly, to get the most out of him, you need 8 companions (including ring-bearer) and the benefits are just not good enough. The hunter bonus could easily be raised to 3 and I think you should get rid of the requirement for them being hunters to make it easier to use. Then I’d probably increase the damage bonus to +2.

Excellent combo with Merry above, but I think 3 tokens might be a bit much. Also, ’to play spot Merry’ is a little weird, so I might make it an unbound Hobbit instead. Also, can we have a Pippin to go with this Merry? Maybe one with bonuses given the same set of characters but in different groupings? Or some guys, but I’d prefer if they worked together.

I put "and add 2 threats" as a cost for Grim Tidings, it seems to fit with the card anyway.
And besides, if anyone was to make a / ranger deck, Glorfindel would be in there to remove threats. |
