Now this becomes really interesting. No
Wind That Sped Ships, no
Easterling Captain, no
Morgul Brute, Sauron dealing only one wound etc. Printed strength plus no additional damage at all (even the printed one, as technically it still is a bonus). Perfect for the minion you plan to skirmish the Ring-bearer or other key companion. Definitely worth using, now I wonder if it didn't become too good

Maybe a limit of using once per maneuver phase would balance it to be both interesting and not overpowered, so that all shadows that rely on pumping their minions to overwhelm aren't completely shut down.
