Even so, I think these guys compare unfavourably to Lorien Swordsman. They can give a minion more than just -2 and are far less vulnerable to possession discard. I would still raise the soldier’s strength to 6.

Okay, I haven’t made any cards for this set in quite a while, but here are some stuff to go with the Numenoreans.
Wasn’t sure whether to make these unique artifacts, non-unique artifacts or simply possessions. On the one hand, I’m not sure they warrant artifact or unique status, though they are powerful stuff from the Second Age (but technically so is a Hobbit Sword if you assume they were procured from the Barrow-Wights as happened in the book). That said, the said needs more non-legendary artifacts and there aren’t many other candidates for that. What do you think?
 Blade of Numenor
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Str: +1
Res: +1
Bearer must be a Man.
Bearer gains "Stalwart - remove ".
Steel Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Str: +1
To play, spot a artifact.
Bearer must be a Man.
Archery: Exert bearer to exert a minion.
I kid you not, apparently the Numenoreans went around with bows made from steel!
Silver Ship of Numenor
Artifact • Support Area
To play, spot 3 Men.
Each time the fellowship moves during the regroup phase, you may remove .
Skirmish: Discard this artifact to exert a minion skirmishing a Man.

Seems ok.
White Ship of Numenor
Artifact • Boat
Vit: +1
Bearer must be a Man.
At the start of each skirmish involving bearer, you must choose to exert or heal each minion he or she is skirmishing.
You can bear a boat? Doesnt a boat bear you? Im not a fan of this at all, everything about it screams imbalanced. Wouldnt even edit it, nuke it
Steel Bow
Artifact • Ranged Weapon
Str: +1
Bearer must be a Man.
Archery: Exert bearer to exert a minion (or wound a roaming minion).
Wow theyre strong! How is non unique targeted archery not too powerful. Compare to naith longbow or bow of minas tirith. Sorry Thran: Veto.

Is there not a boat possession already for Smeagol? Can’t remember whether it’s support area or borne by him.

It’s good, but actually I’d be pressed to use it given that you need to exert (and Naith Bow and Bow of Minas Tirith are both seriously useless). What if I take out the parentheses?
Also, both of you have carefully skirted the issue I was most interested in: possession, unique artifact or non-unique artifact?

Its borne by him but its just a possession not a boat. And a non unique vitality plus 1 adder = FAIL. unique or nuke. Still want nuke as i dont like the balance of the ability.

I dont think the steel bow should be an artifact but the others are fine. I also strongly disagree that its balanced Thran (Bow of minas tirith is not useless, this highlights to me how much you undervalue gondor archery wounds and how much D balanced it), if i put this in my denethor exerting deck it would be really powerful i could exert whatever i wanted whenever then finish with brego and no travellers in this land and healing is not a problem for gondor. Taking out the parenthesis is the least of your worries with it and it wont make it any less powerful. |
