Same difference.  "God mod" is an old gaming term, where you make a character so powerful that he can’t possibly lose.
But yes, "God mode" is pretty similiar. Probably could call that the state one is in while they are "God modded".  |

| I’ve actually never seen the term "god-mode" in my RPG-ing. It’s always been "god-mod". "mod" as in "moderating". |

I want to change my character.
  •Duinihir, Balanced and Broken 
Companion • Man
Strength: 16
Vitality: 6
Resistance: 42
Ranger. Hunter 7. Defender +2.
To play, spot an Elf, Dwarf, Man and  Man.
The fellowship archery total is +3.
Well...his raw stats and crazy abilities are completely counterbalanced by his huge twilight cost and spotting requirements...oh wait, THOSE DON’T MATTER! w00t!
That being said, I think that a lot of these "balanced"  or  cards are unfair because of the fact that they’re or twilight. I propose a restricton that ALL companions MUST be  . And balanced.
Or by golly I’m using this guy. He IS balanced.  |

Ingold, your DCs ARE kinda broken. Maybe....
•Durail, Shadow Warrior
Companion • Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 8
Ranger. Hunter 1
Skirmish: Exert Durail and add a threat to wound a minion skirmishing a Man.
•Flame, Weapon of Fire
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +3
Bearer must be Durail. He is damage +1.
Response: If Durail is about to take a wound in a skirmish, add two threats to prevent that wound.
•Durail’s Cloak, Special Gift
Possession • Cloak
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be Durail.
The minion archery total is -1.
Also, some lore would be nice. |

Perhaps allow it to be a Man or an Elf, since Durail has a tight history with the Elves of Mirkwood.

I dunno. The cost might make it okay with just one threat.

Wow...so with all of these combined, we’re talking about an 11/5/8 companion here.  Not bad, though. I’d approve these.
ingold, I’d recommend you edit your DCs along these lines. I like the ideas you had, but they need to be closer to these to be balanced. 
Excellent sections so far, guys. I wasn’t expecting everyone to want to participate in the battle, but hey, that’s why I left it up to you! Hope you’re having fun.  |

| I liked durails first ability...they both have to be exhausted, and he can’t skirmish. kinda like merry, friend of sam who I always thought was a cool idea. |

I think that we can make an exception here, since Durail IS pretty famous as far as RPGing goes.
Curubethion, similiarly, will also retain his 7/4 stats.
NBarden wrote: Or should I use Duinihir, Balanced yet Broken?
Um...no.
Seriously, though, I think it’s a good idea to keep our characters’ stats close to what they were before. I wouldn’t have a problem with, say, a -cost 7/3 companion, but let’s not have a slew of -cost guys running around, eh?
Don’t worry. With a couple powerful companions, that just means we’ll eventually have to face a couple powerful minions. I’ll make sure it all evens out.  |
