I was just reading a post by Eomund over on the Aragorn, Defender of Rohan spoiler thread about how "valiant" is an essentially useless keyword, and I have to agree. Something should be done about that.  Here are a few ideas; feel free to post your own!
 • The Red Arrow, Token of War 
Artifact - Support Area
All valiant men are strength +1.
"In his hand he bore a single arrow, black-featNOLINKhered and barbed with steel, but the point was painted red."
Gondor Calls for Aid 
Event - Skirmish
Spot a companion and a valiant companion to make a minion strength -4.
"Often the Rohirrim have aided us, but now the Lord Denethor asks for all your strength and all your speed, lest Gondor fall at last."
Helm’s Dike 
Site
When the fellowship moves to this site, heal each valiant companion. |

| Check out my Rohan strategy article from last April. Valiant-based and built for Hunters. |

From my DC set...
 •Aragorn, Bearer of Loyalty
Companion•Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Resistance: (9)
Valiant.
While Aragorn is the Ring-Bearer, at the start of each skirmish involving him, add two burdens or exert 3 mounted companions.
Each valiant man is strength +1 for each artifact you spot (limit: +3)
00R+55
I cut the Captain bonus, to make him playable now, but he had a Captain 0 bonus. (see page 1 of my thread for explanation of my twist on the captain bonus. |

I like it, but if you want me to get nitpicky, I’d require spotting a man or something.

Nice. I like that.

Not too shabby. How many artifacts are there, though? I can only think of two.
A couple ideas from one of my sets:
Courage
Event • Skirmish
Spot a valiant companion to make another companion strength +1 until the regroup phase. If both companions are still alive at the end of the regroup phase, you may return this event to your hand.
“‘Courage for our friends.’”
•Théoden, Ednew
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Valiant. Damage +1.
While you can spot a valiant Man, Théoden’s twilight cost is -1.
Each time Théoden is wounded or killed, all companions that are valiant or have the Théoden signet are strength +1 (+2 if mounted) until the regroup phase.
“‘I myself will go to war, to fall in the front of the battle, if it must be.’” |
