I thought it would be fun to twist the Shire culture a bit, and to give the Halflings a little more serious skirmishing power. I would like some suggestions. Would these DCs work well in gameplay? Please review!
 •Frodo, Persevering Still 
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 0
Vitality: 4
Resistance:  10
Frodo may not bear hand weapons.
Maneuver: discard 3 cards from hand to make a minion lose its Hunter keyword.
At the start of each skirmish involving Frodo, make him gain Hunter [X], where [X] is the twilight cost of the minion he is skirmishing.
As he came closer to the Black Land, the Ring became heavier, but he still pressed on.
 •Sam, Stout and Loyal
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 6
Hunter 2.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert Sam and spot 2 hunter hobbits; those hobbits take no more than 1 wound during each skirmish until the regroup phase.
He refused to leave his master, and would fight to the death for him...
 •Merry, Impatient and Hasty
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 9
Hunter 1.
While you can spot Pippin, Merry is Damage +1.
•Pippin, Friend to Merry[shire]
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 9
Hunter 1.
While you can spot Merry, Pippin is Damage +1.
•Bilbo, Experienced Explorer
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 8
Hunter 3.
Skirmish:. Exert Bilbo to make another Hunter Hobbit strength +2.
Sterner Stuff
Condition • Support Area
Each hobbit Bearing a hand weapon gains Hunter 1.
Each hobbit not bearing a hand weapon is strength -1.
”Your master Frodo is made of sterner stuff than I expected.” |

Popcorn is not gooey like fat, and also not crunchy like potato chips, but crispy like lettuce which makes it a healthy snack.  |

Assign Sauron to him lol. But strength 0 is nasty against guys like Goblin Runner. They would kill him. Rather weak, give him his base 3.

To spot two hunter hobbits, nice. Maybe up to two? Oh yeah, ring-bound.

Damage +1 hobbits? We’re breaking all the rules!

Ring Bound. Where’s ring-bound?

Nice. Balanced.
Where’s Old Took? He’s a great candidate for a hunter hobbit. |

Yeah, I’d give him SOME strength to start with, like 2. Very cool idea overall, though.

Ring-bound. Otherwise looks good to me.

Interesting. Very unusual, but it seems balanced to me since you’d still need some good pumps to have them winning any skirmishes. Plus all they really get is a hunter 1 and damage +1 in exchange for their other versions’ abilities. By the way, damage should be lower-case.

"hunter" should not be capitalized in his text. He needs Ring-bound. But otherwise, he looks okay to me.

"bearer" and "hunter" need to be lower-case. Nifty other than that! |

 forgot the ring-bound for Sam and Frodo. My whole point was to make the culture crazy. I can see that with sudden fury things would go awesome, especially with damage hobbits.
BTW thanks for the gp. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |
