Just a few thoughts...


•Anduril
Great Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength 3
Damage +1

Bearer must be Aragorn.
This weapon may not be borne in addition to any other hand weapon.
Regroup: Exert Aragorn twice to take a event into hand from your discard pile.

Very powerful. Very very powerful. I love it!

•Sam’s Sword
Barrow Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Sam.
Assignment: Wound Sam to wound each minion assigned to him.

Interesting... but is almost dead anyway.

•Sting
Family sword

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Frodo or Bilbo
Each minion assigned to bearer must exert.
Regroup: Exert bearer twice to discard a minion.

A BIT powerful...

•Hadafang
Elven Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Elrond.
Maneuver: If you do not have initiative, discard two cards from hand to make Elrond strength +2.

Interesting...

•Witch king’s sword [nazgul]
Blade of Fire

Possession hand weapon
Strength +3
Damage +1

Bearer must be the Witch King.
Shadow: If The Witch King is damage +2, exert him to discard a staff.
Shadow: If The Witch King is damage +3, exert him to wound a companion.

WOW! It gets better as its bearer gets better?

•Narsil
Orc Bain

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +2

Bearer must be Aragorn, Isildur, or Elendil.
Fellowship: Exert bearer twice to reveal an opponents hand, make that opponent discard an orc at random from hand. (or two orcs).

Very nice, but also very powerful.

•Galmdring
Wizard’s sword

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +1

Bearer must be Gandalf.
Regroup: Exert Gandalf twice to take a spell into your hand from your discard pile.

I see... spells are good.

•Boromir’s sword
Gondorian Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +1

Bearer must be Boromir.
Skirmish: exert Boromir twice to cancel a skirmish involving a companion. That minion may exert twice to prevent this.

Ok. I like it. Boromir ring-bearer with ring of rings, and this sword. Nice.

•Haldir’s Sword

bearer must be Haldir.

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Skirmish: exert Haldir twice to prevent an companion from being overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.

okay...

Just a few thoughts...


•Anduril
Great Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength 3
Damage +1

Bearer must be Aragorn.
This weapon may not be borne in addition to any other hand weapon.
Regroup: Exert Aragorn twice to take a event into hand from your discard pile.
Add this game text: "When you play this on Aragorn, discard all other weapons he bears." Also, edit the text "hand weapon" to read "weapon." Aragorn can only bear one hand weapon by default! (not including Knife of the Galadhrim or Flaming Brand)
I love the ability, but the strength should be +2, like the other Andurils. Anduril, Flame of the West gives a vitality bonus, but this one gives you a damage bonus, so that’s hunki-dori.
•Sam’s Sword
Barrow Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Sam.
Assignment: Wound Sam to wound each minion assigned to him.
Make it "to wound each Orc assigned..."-although then you’ve basically got a Frying Pan.
•Sting
Family sword

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Frodo or Bilbo
Each minion assigned to bearer must exert.
Regroup: Exert bearer twice to discard a minion.
Nice-I love the Rider’s Mount feel to it...and this would rock with Unheeded and Shadowplay!!
•Hadafang
Elven Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Bearer must be Elrond.
Maneuver: If you do not have initiative, discard two cards from hand to make Elrond strength +2.
Interesting Maneuver action qualifier...but I get your meaning: basically, you ditch all but one or two cards. Nice card, but why can’t Arwen bear it too?
•Witch king’s sword [nazgul]
Blade of Fire

Possession hand weapon
Strength +3
Damage +1

Bearer must be the Witch King.
Shadow: If The Witch King is damage +2, exert him to discard a staff.
Shadow: If The Witch King is damage +3, exert him to wound a companion.
The first Shadow action is waaay overpowered. I mean, being able to discard Gandalf’s staff with one puny exertion??
•Narsil
Orc Bain

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +2

Bearer must be Aragorn, Isildur, or Elendil.
Fellowship: Exert bearer twice to reveal an opponents hand, make that opponent discard an orc at random from hand. (or two orcs).
Good...although change " orcs" to " orcs". And drop the damage bonus to damage +1.
•Galmdring
Wizard’s sword

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +1

Bearer must be Gandalf.
Regroup: Exert Gandalf twice to take a spell into your hand from your discard pile.
Good weapon.
•Boromir’s sword
Gondorian Blade

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2
Damage +1

Bearer must be Boromir.
Skirmish: exert Boromir twice to cancel a skirmish involving a companion. That minion may exert twice to prevent this.
Now that’s a cool way to do the "Boromir, Hobbit Protector" theme. Especially with Unheeded!
•Haldir’s Sword

bearer must be Haldir.

Possession hand weapon
Strength +2

Skirmish: exert Haldir twice to prevent an companion from being overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled.
Good, simple weapon.

•Herugrim
ancient balde


possession hand weapon

strength +1
vitality +1

Bearer must be Theoden.
If Theoden is mounted, he is damage +1.
Up the strength...compare to Herugrim.

•Faramir’s sword
Ranger Blade

possession hand weapon

strength +2

Bearer must be Faramir.
Skirmish: While at a forest site, add a threat to wound a minion skirmishing Faramir.
Nice weapon, I like the threat thing...but maybe give it a limit? Otherwise, it’s easy to splash Fourth Level into a ranger deck and heal with Citadel of Minas Tirith and Invigorated.

•Morgul knife
weapon of the wraith

possession hand weapon

strength +1

Bearer must be a Nazgul.
Each time you assign bearer to a skirmish, remove a threat.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to wound the companion bearer is skirmishing twice.
Change it to "each time bearer is assigned to a skirmish", since the Shadow player doesn’t usually assign minions. That skirmish action is waaay overpowered...change it to "exert".

•Eomer’s sword
Uruk Bain

possession hand weapon

strength +2
damage +1
bearer must be Eomer.
Each time you assign Eomer to a skirmish involving an Uruk Hai, exert that minion.
Nice...although did Eomer have a sword?
