Exert Saruman to play an  weather card from your draw deck or discard pile.

Should cost or no exertion. Or you could make it one of your " or an exertion" events as it’s much more of a dilemma for Shadow players than FP.

Exert 2  minions (or Saruman) to choose one: exert each companion with 5 or less printed strength; or make the move limit -1 for this turn (to a minimum of 1).

I don’t like using ’printed’ unless absolutely necessary (it sounds a bit horrible), so I suggest simply raising the strength to whatever you feel like. Interesting card.

If the fellowship is at this site, each time another weather card is played, you may exert an unbound companion (or any companion if this site is a mountain).
“‘Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse; nai yarvaxea rasselya!’”
Should spot a minion, then you can take his cost down to .

Aid –  or remove a threat.
Each time you transfer this to an  minion, you may draw a card (or 2 cards if you can spot a Wizard minion).
Each companion skirmishing bearer is resistance -2.
Skirmish: Transfer this to your support area to discard a card borne by a companion skirmishing bearer.
“‘Spies of Saruman! The passage south is being watched.’”
I think this has loads too much text and seems to be OP. I would definitely take out one of the abilities, probably the skirmish action.

Okay, I made some tweaks to the last couple batches. Thanks for the reviews, gentlemen.
Let’s leave Saruman for a little bit and get to his chief minion. Enjoy!
•Lurtz, Leader of the Hunt
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 6
Tracker. Archer. Enduring.
While you can spot 2 other trackers or hunters, Lurtz gains hunter 1 and is site number -1.
Each other tracker is strength +1 for each Hobbit companion you can spot (limit +2).
“‘Bring them to me alive and unspoiled. Kill the others!’”
•Lurtz’s Sword, Heavy Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be Lurtz or an tracker. Bearer gains hunter 2.
If bearer is Lurtz, he is fierce.
•Lurtz’s Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must be Lurtz or an tracker.
Archery: Remove a threat and make the minion archery total -1 (to a minimum of 0) to wound a Free Peoples character.
Response: If bearer is Lurtz and a companion won a skirmish that is about to end, exert Lurtz to wound that companion. |

c’mon no hunter? I know it is an unimaginative keyword and a mockery of Good DC makers but still.
 • Lurtz’s Sword, Heavy Blade
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength +1

If bearer is Lurtz, he is damage +1 and fierce.
AHHHHH hers the hunter cut one of the keyword he gets IMHO

I would make it to wound a character and cut the optional thing. |

He has hunter already, SoP. And this guy just has far far far far far far far too much text (I thought I’d emphasise the amount of text this guy has by comparing it to a large number of unnecessary ’far’s). If he just had the first ability, he would be a fine card. If he just had the second ability, he would be a very interesting card, but I’d raise the limit and bring his cost to the usual . If he just had the third ability, he would be boring but fair. With all 3 and enduring and archer, I’m inclined to think he’s as broken as hell!

How is lurtz’s sword a ranged weapon? A cost Shadow possession is worthless to be played on a minion, especially for such an expensive minion with such a high site number as Lurtz. You should cut it down and make it at maximum , but personally I think . This would also be a fantastic place to have one of Lurtz’s abilities instead of on Lurtz himself.

Very powerful, but overall fine.

Choose either the fierce or the damage bonus on the sword, not both, but other than that it’s all great!

I’m a little reluctant to do that, Thran, because the damage bonus is conditional, and the -cost original Lurtz’s Sword gives a permanent one AND a nice ability. The existing version costs and gives fierce and hunter 1. I was trying to strike a balance between the two. |

Let me know what (if anything) I should do about the sword. For now, we’re pushing forward...with another Lurtz! This will be a more common version, but still very formidable, as you will see. Enjoy!
•Lurtz, Fighting Uruk-hai
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 13
Vitality: 3
Site: 5
Tracker. Damage +1. To play, spot 2 minions (or Saruman).
Lurtz gains hunter 1 for each possession he bears.
While bearing a hand weapon, Lurtz is fierce.
While bearing a ranged weapon, Lurtz is an archer.
“‘They were elves once, taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life. Now...perfected.’”
And now, to get into a couple more general possession for our Uruks, which Lurtz can get REALLY nasty with.
Tracker’s Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must an Uruk-hai tracker or Uruk-hai hunter.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may exert it to draw a card (or 2 cards if a companion was killed in that skirmish).
Though slightly smaller and lighter than the blades of Saruman’s heavily-armed warriors, the blades of Orthanc’s tracking Uruks were no less deadly.
Uruk-hai Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must an Uruk-hai.
Bearer gains hunter 1.
If bearer is a tracker, bearer is an archer.
“...they had bows of yew, in length and shape like the bows of Men.”
Uruk Shield
Possession • Shield
Bearer must be an Uruk-hai.
The fellowship archery total is -1.
Skirmish: Exert bearer and discard this possession to exert a companion bearer is skirmishing.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, discard this possession to prevent that wound.
“Upon their shields they bore a strange device: a small white hand in the centre of a black field....” |
