Since there’s not much I can really say about this card, I will instead comment on the lore. I really appreciate how you make sure to do quotes the same as Decipher’s cards, as most people don’t bother. However, I’ve noticed that the first set of quotation marks always seems to be backwards. Is there some flaw in whatever program you use to create the cards? It’s always glaring to me since I’m so interested in lore.

I like this one, as it encourages use of Dwarves WITHOUT a Gimli RB, methinks...something that seems lost on most players today. "Dwarves without Gimli BoG? Inconceivable!" |

Nice, tad powerful with its versatility for such a standard weapon but fine.

I agree with lem0n on this one.

Take out the limit and let it be abused by Gimli, Counter of Foes. There’s no Dwarf with more than 4 standard vitality, and while there are loads of vitality bonuses, people don’t use them enough and they deserve to be given a better chance at playability. Also, adding a burden is a very weird cost for a card or ability, so, unless you’re planning on making a theme out of it, I’d stick to the usual costs so 2 threats, an exertion on another Dwarf perhaps etc.

Bah. Just noticed that myself. I use Microsoft Word... I’ll see if I can fix it.

Even better; not only did I change it to a threat, but I turned it into a nifty (I hope ) start-of-assignment ability. |

Wow... 8 days since the last batch of cards. Been a bit busy this week, but here’s the next group of cards: an artifact, a companion, and a condition!
• Ring of Wisdom
Artifact • Ring
Vitality +1
Bearer must be a Dwarf. Bearer is damage +1.
Skirmish: Discard this artifact to make bearer strength +1 for each card in your hand.
”’Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone….’”
• Dáin Ironfoot, Lord of the Lonely Mountain
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Muster. The twilight cost of each Shadow condition is +1.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert Dáin Ironfoot to play a artifact from your draw deck or discard pile.
”’…I have been sent at last by Dáin….’”
Welcome and Well Met!
Condition • Support Area
Toil 1. To play, spot 2 Dwarves.
Each time the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, you may exert a Dwarf to wound a minion (and draw a card if you can spot a token).
Fellowship: Discard this condition to heal a Dwarf and remove .
”’Glóin at your service,’ he said, and bowed still lower.’” |

Wow this is really good. The only vitality ring up til now doesnt make bearer damage +1. And this has an uber ability. Very good but maybe not worth changing.

Damage +1. Muster.

Sound but DI should surely have a more useful ability than that or another 1.

Remove 2 or 3 id say not 4. Also exerting a dwarf for one exertion or one card aint that hot, make it a bit better.
