Each time a ranger wins a skirmish involving a roaming minion, you may add  to heal a ranger or hunter.

Extremely powerful, especially to heal IB wounds. It’s easy to make minions roaming with lots of rangers around. I wouldn’t know how to cap it, though.

At the start of each skirmish involving Mablung and a roaming minion, you may exert Mablung to exert a minion skirmishing a ranger.
“‘The road may pass, but they shall not!’”
Fair enough. A little weak, though, a six strength companion that would exert at the start of his skirmishes?

Im not sure many 5 companions with hunter 1 are that useful. If you face a non hunter minion they are 6 anyway and if you face a hunter minion you are a 5 and theyll probably be bigger anyway and youll get pwned. Id just make him strength 6. He’s darn good but sound. |

Except that a /7/3/6 companion is too good.

| Eh? I meant drop the hunter, im not that dumb. I dont love the hunter mechanism anyway and think its over used and over valued. Just a standard 6 strength guy is what i mean. |

I admit, I’m not a fan of -cost strength 5 hunter 1 guys either...I’d rather make them all 6 strength. But I understand now why Big D had to do it that way. The other thing I would consider for Anborn is raising his strength to 6 and his cost to , perhaps with an optional reduction like Damrod’s. Thoughts?
In the meantime, here’s a bevy of RB Man-related conditions. Most of them are semi-reprints of cards from The Two Towers, made to work with post-Shadows sitepaths. Let me know what you think, and as always, enjoy! 
 •Forests of Ithilien (updated reprint)
Condition • Support Area
While the fellowship is in region 2 and you can spot a Ring-bound ranger, the site number of each Man is +2.
Regroup: Discard this condition and exert a Ring-bound Man to liberate a site (and heal a Ring-bound Man if the current site is a forest).
“Here Spring was already busy about them: fronds pierced moss and mould, larches were green-fingered, small flowers were opening in the turf, birds were singing.”
•Forbidden Pool (updated reprint)
Condition • Support Area
While the fellowship is in region 2, each Ring-bound ranger takes no more than 1 wound during each skirmish phase.
Fellowship: Add and discard this condition to heal a Ring-bound Man (or 2 Ring-bound Men if the current site is a forest or underground site).
“‘...Henneth Annûn, fairest of all the falls of Ithilien, land of many fountains. Few strangers have ever seen it.’”
•Henneth Annûn (updated reprint)
Condition • Support Area
While the fellowship is in region 2, each roaming minion skirmishing a Ring-bound ranger is strength -2.
Skirmish: Spot a Man and discard this condition to wound a roaming minion (or wound 2 roaming minions if the current site is a forest or underground site).
“‘...he has dared to come to Henneth Annûn, and his life is forfeit.’”
•Window of the Sunset
While the fellowship is in region 2, each time a roaming minion is played, you may spot a Ring-bound ranger and make the fellowship archery total -1 (to a minimum of 0) to exert that minion.
Archery: Spot a Man bearing a ranged weapon and discard this condition to make the fellowship archery total +1 (or +2 if the current site is a forest or sanctuary).
“‘Now I have him at the arrow-point. Shall I not shoot, Captain? For coming unbidden to this place death is our law.’”
Next time, we’ll get into something truly new and different: some stealth!  |

I hate 3 cost 6 guys that can be 7 even more

maybe it would be clearer if you made one of your guys lose archer. otherwise it has so many possible loopholes IMHO. |

I think he’s probably fine, though the Damrod model is probably the best for changing him.

While the fellowship is at a forest or river site in region 2 and you can spot a Ring-bound Man (except the Ring-bearer), the site number of each Man is +2.

“Here Spring was already busy about them: fronds pierced moss and mould, larches were green-fingered, small flowers were opening in the turf, birds were singing.”
Why not ’Ring-bound ranger’? Then it can’t be the Ring-bearer anyway. And the ability of this condition is limited and worthless. Take out either the terrain or region restrictions and it will be semi-worth it. Make it all minions and it would be decent.

Same note about rangers and limited abilities. I would still take out either the terrain or region restriction.

“‘...he has dared to come to Henneth Annûn, and his life is forfeit.’”
I would do the same as above (especially regarding the ranger bit, as this card should not support the Ring-bearer as this whole story is about how Faramir can’t bear the ring) but then increase the cost to or reduce the penalty to strength -1, and maybe make the skirmish event maneuver.

Again the ability is too limited. Take out the region or terrain restriction and remove the brackets from the archery ability which I don’t think are necessary.
