Yeah, I put a lot of thought into the strength. Future versions in The End Of All Things (my RotK set) will probably be 7/3 or 8/3, or be something like 5/3 with the potential of getting bigger. But for this guy, I figured the lower-than-usual strength was more befitting, and also helped balance him. Glad you agree.  |

I think his second ability is pushing it, and it would streamline the card to remove it. I like the rest though.

I understand, but winning skirmishes (and befitting from it) is a big theme for Gondor in this set, as you hopefully began to see with Boromir and his stuff. I wanted to tie Denethor in with that, so if anything, I’d be more inclined to remove the first ability. |

Alright, here are a couple events, both of which work very well with the new damage-focused Boromir. Enjoy!
Gondor’s Finest
Event • Skirmish
Make a unique companion strength +2. Then, if that companion is damage +X, make him or her strength +X.
“‘They say you vanquished the enemy almost single-handedly.’”
 Nice and Short
Event • Response
If a minion is killed in a skirmish involving a Man, heal a companion.

Wow, erm not sure if it should be +1 for each or cost 2.

Okay, a little vague on this one. Rephrase it make a companion strength +X, where X is double its damage bonus.

Would be better as a condition. As an event, why not Athelas? Or Invigorated? No reason to use it. I would make it a condition, maybe with tokens or token adding abilities. |

should be strength +2 and then an additional strength +X while they are damage +X. right now it is only maximum stength +4.
