Not quite sure why you’d want to do this...am I missing something obvious? Is it just a way to prevent, say, an exhausted Aragorn from being assigned and leaving weaker companions to fend for themselves?
Yep, it’s a way to make one of their big guys unable to fight. But I think I’ll drop the cost to 0, because it does seem a bit weak.
SoP: Yes, you already reviewed those cards. Oh, and check out Introspection for the wording issue.

Well, considering that it costs 2 exertions (on a twilight Nazgul, and twilight Nazgul aren’t used much) and it needs an exhausted companion I figured it was balanced.
Anyways, I was on a trip today and had nothing better to do, so I made a bunch of DCs. Feel free to just review one or two if you want, but I’ll try to award a GP to everyone who reviews them all.

If I do this, you gotta review the rest of my cards sometime. Nah, just kiddin’. I have the time, so here we go....

Ouch. Bye-bye Hobbits. Maybe give it a low cost, too. would even be good.

Interesting. Very interesting. I like it!

Shouldn’t the skirmish ability be listed first? Otherwise very neat. It’d love this with Frodo, Resolute Hobbit.  Who needs PATHS?

Probably should be worded more like A Dark Shape Sprang, so:

Neat card.

Title could probably benefit from an exclamation point.  Wording is a little weird, but I think it’s okay.

Fierce.

Good stuff. Maybe he should be damage +1 as well, as a nod to his original version. I might even do that instead of fierce.

Yikes. Maybe should cost a little more.

I think the text would be cooler with Merry, or should have some additional ability with Merry, since he used such a sword to stab the Witch-king.

Thanks so much for the big review! I took all of the advice, ’cuz it all seemed good. Sorry for the sloppy mistakes - I arrived home while I was still making DCs and didn’t have time to double-check them for errors, and then when I posted ’em I still didn’t check for errors. And as for the repeated cards (Pitiless Foes and Find the Halflings!), I was copying and pasting the cards to try and make them sorted alphabetically by culture, and I messed up a bit. 
The cards look much better now (IMHO  ), thanks to your trusty reviewin’.

Seriously, why archery? I can’t really think of any reason for this version of the Ring to do anything with archery.

I’ll wait to get a second opinion, because it already costs and an exertion which is a pretty hefty cost for only a +2 boost and one card discarded (and that’s only if you win the skirmish!).
