Bloody hell, nice try with the balance but makes it nasty. Suppose you wouldnt transfer him if you needed bearer in a fight so ok.

Composite just means that the one card counts as all named personae, so you couldn’t play either Elladan or Elrohir with that follower in play, or vice versa.
Changed cards according to suggestions, but I’ll wait a bit on new ones - you never know, another review might emerge out of the woodwork!

Seems really weak to me. A high spotting requirement and a big downturn to the companion they’re transfered to. Even with the aid cost the way it is, I’d like it more for an archery deck than anything.

Whoa. Skirmish downside seems really harsh. With such a focus on resistance, winning a skirmish with this one follower one time could kill the whole strategy for the rest of the game.
Maybe I missed some awesome follower cards earlier, but I don’t get these. |

Fair enough, but do you have any suggestions?
Oh, and there are some cards probably worth bearing in mind from the first set of which half the strategy was built on followers, especially A Little Out of Your Way and Secret Valley which tie in directly to telepathy.

As lem0n speculated, I have indeed been ill. But this time it wasn’t headaches! Even stout Dwarves fall to their knees when the almighty cold takes hold, and that has been the case for the last few days. But while I am not yet 100%, I AM trying to get back in the swing of things. So let’s do this!

It ain’t bad. But to make it a little better, consider one of the following options:
- Make bearer an archer.
- Change the aid "cost" to something else and instead exert each minion assigned to skirmish bearer at the start of each skirmish involving bearer. Then it becomes a bit more useful with fierce minions.

Kinda...useless, in my opinion. It ain’t a terrible way to heal, but the potential downside simply does not justify the upside. This might be a good one to simply make resistance -2 and drop the strength reducing part entirely.

Make it just one burden, and/or make bearer an archer. The latter would actually make it okay, I think, and make a LOT of sense. |

Nice to hear your dulcet tones, Dain. Cards changed according to your suggestions (more or less).
Now moving into telepathy as promised. You’ve already seen the Forearmed for White Council members, well here are some more on that theme.
Power of Spell 
Event • Maneuver
Spell.
Spot a White Council member to reveal the top card of your draw deck. You may Lock X cards until the end of the regroup phase, where X is the twilight cost of the card revealed.
... Saruman knew in his heart that the Grey Wanderer had the greater strength... even though he hid his power...
H3 C 76
Song of Power
Event • Maneuver
Spell.
Reveal the top card of your draw deck. If that card has twilight cost 3 or more, you may make a White Council member gain terror 1 (or terror 2 if the revealed card is a spell or follower) until the regroup phase.
’The river of this valley is under his power, and it will rise in anger when he has great need...’
H3 U 47
And an extension of the terror theme and the Song of Power:
• Masters of Light
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 3 White Council members.
Locked: Each member of the White Council with terror X is resistance +X.
Response: If a character with terror X is assigned to a skirmish, wound another character X times. Discard this condition.
And Curunir... was chosen to be their chief for he had most studied the devices of Sauron of old.
H3 C 44
Terror of the White
Event • Maneuver
Spell.
Spot a White Council member with terror X to Lock all keywords on X minions until the regroup phase.
In the likeness of Men they appeared, old but vigorous...
H3 C 48
