Cool. I am so running a Frenzy of Arrows deck.

Archer. While you cannot spot another minion, this minion loses archer.
Archery: Remove 2 threats to exert an unbound companion. (Or 1 threat if that companion bears an condition)
Cool.
 •Champion of Orthanc

Strength: 10

Damage +1. Archer.
Maneuver: Exert this minion and remove a threat to play an condition from your discard pile.

Hey, I think we have a new veteran DC maker here...
 Uruk Sniper
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 4

While you can spot an condition and a threat, this minion is an archer.
Yep. We do.
 •Quilled
Condition • Support Area
Resistance -1
During the archery phase, only bearer may take archery wounds.
At the start of the archery phase, you may spot an archer to transfer this condition from your support area to an unbound companion. The free people’s player may add a threat to prevent this.
But he’s not perfect. Max out threats and instant death + threats. And then you get to exchange archery. Sorry, but with all your Uruk-Hai running around adding threats, this card WILL be transfered, and then he dies, and woo-hoo! Threats!
(Card title is a spoof of Feathered)
Bow of Orthanc
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be an minion.
At the start of the archery phase, you may remove a threat to make the minion archery total +1.
Cool
 •Lurtz, Commander of Black Tips
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 13
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 5
Archer. Damage +1.
Archery: Spot 2 other minions and remove a threat to exert an unbound companion. (Or exert that companion twice if it bears an condition)
Since its Lurtx, fine, but don’t put such a powerful ability on a non-unique dude. |

Good first line of text there...keeps him from being too easily splashed.

I think the archery ability needs some other cost, but this is a neat, neat card.

I think the transferring needs another cost, like removing a couple threats.

Personally, I would drop the option of exerting twice and instead allow taking the next archery action if that companion bears an condition.
Really neat cards!  Bravo!  |

A few more!
Frenzy of Bolts
Event • Archery
Spot an minion to add 5 to the minion archery total for each companion you can spot.
18C79 
Ok, the REAL version:
Frenzy of Bolts
Event • Archery
Spot X archers to subtract X from the minon archery total. Then add X threats.
Uruk Bow-Plunderer
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site Number: 5
Shadow: Exert this minion or remove a threat to play an ranged weapon from your discard pile or draw deck. (Limit once per phase)
 Fourth Time’s a Charm
Event • Response
If no companions were killed at the end of the archery phase, you may spot an archer with a twilight cost of 5 or higher to make the free peoples player place an unbound companion in the dead pile. Threats are not removed and wounds are not placed.
(Card pic is Lurtz getting ready to shoot the fourth arrow into Boromir)
•Target Practice
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot an archer.
At the start of the archery phase, you may discard this condition to add a threat or exert an unbound companion bearing an condition.
Archery: Exert 2 archers and discard this condition to make the free peoples player exert a companion. If that companion bears an condition, exert that companion again.
Targeted
Condition
Limit 1 per bearer.
To play, spot an archer.
Bearer must be an unbound companion.
While you can spot 4 threats, the minion archery total is +1.
At the end of the archery phase, discard this condition.
(Take out Quilled for this card, I just X-listed Quilled...maybe it’ll have an errata soon instead) Change: Made it not-so-temporary, and added an effect to it. |

Convenient way to add threats. Looks good.

I might make it remove and a threat, but that’s just me.

Good. You might want to take the apostrophe out of "free people’s" (should be "free peoples")

Play this condition as an archery event only.

Hmmm. Seems too temporary. You should have something like discard it OR remove a threat, X twilight, or something. As it is, 4x of these means that you can only spot a companion with a condition 4 times through the entire game. (unless you’re counting Our Foes Are Weak, etc.) Plus any other conditions you have... I haven’t looked to see if there were any others. |

I think it should instead be worded:
Spot X archers and subtract X from the minon archery total to add X threats.
Just a little cleaner that way. I like this card a lot: I think I made one just like it once.

I like the card, but that title has GOT to go. I think a toil 1 wouldn’t hurt, either.

"Free Peoples" should always be capitalized. Otherwise very neat.

I’d HIGHLY recommend a change in title. Nifty otherwise, though. MAYBE lower his strength to 5 or up his cost to , though.

Not too keen on this title, either, but the rest looks okay.

Needs to require spotting a couple cards in play, too. But I think it’s okay otherwise. Very, very powerful, but okay.

I’d rather this be someone else, as Saruman wasn’t exactly an archery guy. But it’s okay. I’d make the second option on his archery ability require spotting an Uruk-hai, though. |

Titles for uruks are so hard to come up with, so the last two up there came from me thinking "Hmm...I’ll make a DC of one that can wield both a bow and a sword at the same time! And one that hides in the foliage to archer those companions!" So yeah, I may just do a random dictionary word search for titles next time.  |

| Foresight, I just PMed you a LONG list of good minion names to help with that. Can’t remember when or where I got it, but it’s been helpful to me many times. Hope you find it useful, too. |
