Okay, fair enough. Got to try and make a deck out of these guys at some point to see how useful they are, then I’ll report back.
In the meantime, let’s move onto some slightly more usual ring/ring-bearer pairs.
• Ring of Vengeance, Ring of the Dwarves
Legendary.
Durin III may not bear a ring.
While wearing the Ring of Vengeance, each time Durin III is about to take a wound, add a burden and draw a card instead.
Skirmish: Exert Durin III to wear the Ring of Vengeance until the regroup phase.
The point being that the rings helped their bearers to amass wealth.
• Durin III, Bearer of Great Wealth
Companion • Dwarf
Str: 7
Vit: 4
(Res): 6
Ring-bearer - Ring of Vengeance.
At the start of each skirmish involving Durin III, exert a Dwarf or add a burden.
Fellowship: Exert Durin III to play an or artifact from your draw deck.

Wow he’s really good. I like him but again no idea on balance.

I think that for a base 4 vitality, 8 resistance RB, being able to exert to wear the Ring is too easy. I’d make it a burden or a threat to put it on. OR...

...lower his resistance. I think 7 would be better, or even a risky 6. His abilities + the Ring’s abilities make him really, REALLY sick with 8 resistance, even with the drawbacks. |

Dain is right i didnt notice initially. 8 is probably too high. |

I was thinking that an exertion is a pretty nasty cost to wear the ring. If he’s exhausted (not so unlikely), then he can’t put it on.
Brought his resistance down. Thanks guys!

Hate to openly disagree with a reviewing legend, but...I disagree. I think that with the low resistance, skirmishing with Durin is now risky enough as you’re probably going to be exerting every time. And since other text is already exerting Durin plenty as it is, that means exerting OTHER Dwarves...which means you’re going to be running around with a near-exhausted party if you try to get Durin fighting as it is.
In review: I think the one exertion is enough unless you go back to a higher resistance, which I personally would discourage. |

I’ll probably revisit those above quite a few times, but now for a prelude to a completely new strategy: companions!
Who were the Nazgul before they were Nazgul?
Answer: No one knows. Which is why most of their companion versions are named after Decipher’s designated numbers (Attea, Toldea etc.), except obviously for this guy who makes our Ring-bearer, who is obviously the Witch-King in disguise.
Also, in order to be able to have rings for both Nazgul and Men, I’ve had to rename them, so this ring is really the Ring of Ire.
"So what’s this a prelude to?" I hear you ask. Sooner or later, companions will begin to appear on the FP thread and minions on the Shadow. That’s what I mean.
So without further ado, here’s our final ring/ring-bearer pair:
• Ring of Command, Ring of Men
Legendary.
The High-King may not bear a ring.
While wearing the Ring of Command, The High-King is strength +2 and each time he is about to take a wound, add a burden instead.
Maneuver: Make The High-King strength -1 until the end of the game to wear the Ring of Command until the regroup phase.
• The High-King, Bearer of Power
Companion • Man
Str: 9
Vit: 4
Res: 1
Ring-bearer - Ring of Command.
The High-King is resistance +1 for each Man you can spot.
Each time the fellowship moves and you can spot a minion, discard your artifact from play or add 2 burdens.
Skirmish: Exert The High-King to heal another Man.
