 • Belt of Lórien
Possession • Belt
Resistance +1
To play, spot an Elf. Bearer must be a Man companion.
Each time the fellowship moves from a sanctuary, you may heal bearer.
Assignment: If bearer is Boromir, discard this possession to make him defender +1 until the regroup phase.
“The Lady bowed her head, and she turned then to Boromir, and to him she gave a belt of gold....”
nice! make it 2 elves or galadriel
 • Horn of Boromir, The Horn of Gondor
Possession • Horn
Resistance +1
Bearer must be Boromir.
Maneuver: Exert Boromir and discard X cards from hand to prevent a minion with vitality X from being assigned to a skirmish until the regroup phase.
“Loud the challenge rang and bellowed...for a moment the orcs quailed and the fiery shadow halted.”
assigned to a skirmish by either player might be the better wording. |

Here’s the rest of Boromir’s stuff, including one that will probably really surprise you...and LACKING one that you might really wonder "why isn’t it in there?" That possession (bet you can figure out what it is) will appear in the NEXT set, The Way Into Mordor, which features Boromir in that pre-FotR Osgiliath scene from the movies.
Anyway, here’s the cards. Enjoy!
•Boromir’s Steed
Possession • Mount
Strength +1
Resistance +1
Bearer must be a Man.
Each time the fellowship moves to a site in region 1 or 2, you may exert bearer (or spot bearer, if bearer is Boromir) to heal a Man.
Response: If the fellowship moves from a site in region 3 or moves to an underground site, discard Boromir’s Steed.
“When I was sent out as a messenger, I passed through the Gap by the skirts of the White Mountains, and crossed the Isen and the Greyflood into Northerland. A long and wearisome journey.”
Remember, Boromir rode a horse into Rivendell in the movie, and in the book he says he had one as well, though he lost it somehow between Minas Tirith and Rivendell and had to trek the rest of the way on foot.
•Boromir’s Dagger
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be a Man. This weapon may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon.
Skirmish: If bearer is Boromir, exert him or discard this possession to wound a minion he is skirmishing. That minion’s owner may take 2 of his or her cards from play into hand to prevent this.
Unusually for a dagger, the wide blade was fullered so that in all respects it resembled the tip of Boromir’s sword.
Boromir had a very odd knife which did, indeed, look a lot like his sword. It’s seen only briefly in the film, when Boromir throws it into the neck of an Uruk, but it’s definately there and deserves a card, methinks.
•Blade of Gondor, Bane of the Uruk-hai
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Boromir.
If Boromir is wounded or in a fierce skirmish, he is damage +1.
Skirmish: Add a threat and exert Boromir (or spot 2 unbound Hobbits) to wound an Uruk-hai (twice if skirmishing Boromir) or an Orc.
Boromir’s sword was like its owner: big, broad, and powerful.
This one probably looks familiar to anyone that’s kept up with AP’s current DC contest.  |

Great with tying in how he loses it! I would also add "Discard this possession if underground."

I did something very close. Thanks!

Looks really good.

Heh. These DC ideas just keep jumping out at me.

Neat. Although I’m not sure I like an exertion for a wound trade-off between a companion and a minion. Maybe give a shadow player a way to prevent, like removing ?

I found myself having to re-read that skirmish text a time or two to make sense of it, but it works fine. The card looks cool, though. |

I did something a little different. How is it now? |

Interesting! Haven’t seen that done before, at least not that I can recall. Cool.  |

Two problems, one subjective, one objective:
1) I don’t like the brackets in the first ability. I’d just say ’Bearer must be Boromir’ and leave it at that.
2) The second ability, as a response, makes no sense, as it’s your CHOICE whether you use it or not. Should be each time.
Remember, Boromir rode a horse into Rivendell in the movie, and in the book he says he had one as well, though he lost it somehow between Minas Tirith and Rivendell and had to trek the rest of the way on foot.

2 CARDS FROM PLAY? ’I think I’ll take your Gandalf, and maybe your anduril - my aragorn could sure use it!’ Has to be ’your cards’, otherwise it’s the most broken and ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen!
Boromir had a very odd knife which did, indeed, look a lot like his sword. It’s seen only briefly in the film, when Boromir throws it into the neck of an Uruk, but it’s definately there and deserves a card, methinks.

Bleh! Far far far too much text. Take out all of the brackets, and I’d be happy.

Made some tweaks, but I still left most of the brackets that drive Thranduil nuts.
Anyone else? Anyone figure out what Boromir possession I left out?  |
