Southron. Hunter 2.
At the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may exert him to discard a possession borne by a character he is skirmishing.

Southron. Hunter 1.
This minion is strength +1 for each possession he bears.
“He could hear plainly the ringing grate of steel on steel, the clang of sword on iron cap, the dull beat of blade on shield; men were yelling and screaming....”

Make him vitality 2 and he’s rock. 3 and he’s too good.

Not good enough. Make him strength 8 at least or increase his vitality, and/or make the bonus +2, or +1 for each possession borne by characters in his skirmish.

Keep in mind, though, that Men will have several possessions to play with in this (and the next) set. They won’t be limited to just mounts and weapons anymore.

Doesn’t actually matter, because Shadow possessions borne by minions are simply not as good or as useful as those borne by companions. For the FP player, a possession is an important bonus to any companion. To the Shadow player, 1 more possession is 1 less minion.

Wow excessively hard. 7 strength in all likelihood and robs a possession for 2? Seems too hard if you ask me DI. He’d have to be rare and then every1 would want it im sure.

Cool.

Red-Tipped Spear
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a Southron.
Spot X threats and remove [X] to make bearer strength +X (limit 3).
“‘...and their flags are red, and the tips of their spears....’”

Sound. But needs a phase or something that defines when you use and how long the text lasts. Would be cool if you said when you play it, then make it last til the regroup phase, if its a skirmish action theres no poinjt spotting X as you could spot 1 and do it multiple times to get upto 3.

Haradhrim Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must be a Southron.
Bearer is an archer and gains hunter 1.
Archery: If bearer is mounted, discard this possession to make the minion archery total +2 until the regroup phase.
Unlike weapons of many western cultures, the bows made in the desert land of Harad were usually constructed of bone, horn, and metal rather than wood.

You dont need til the regroup phase. Sweet card.

Southron Shield
Possession • Shield
Bearer must be a Man.
The fellowship archery total is -1.
Skirmish: Remove a threat and discard this possession to discard a possession borne by a character skirmishing bearer. If that character does not bear a possession, exert him or her instead.
“‘...and they have round shields, yellow and black with big spikes.’”

Coooool.
