All good, but you should specify from play to make it absolutely clear.

Captain 2.
While the Fellowship is at a mountain, Dain is damage +1.
While you can spot a  Man, Dain is defender +1 and takes no more than one wound per skirmish.

As much as I hate to say it, either his vitality needs to be 3 (like the original) or his cost needs to be . I’d recommend the former. I also think his second ability might be a little too good...perhaps just make him defender +1, but wait for another review before changing that. I DO like it.  |

I totally agree with Dain, though even after reducing his vitality I think he’s too good. I’d get rid of one ability and/or make his skirmish ability exert himself instead of any Dwarf.

Changes made, and here’s some more DCs...starting with one that’s been long overdue for dwarves: a battleaxe! And a couple of skirmish events...
 Axe of the Dwarves
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be a dwarf.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to make bearer strength +4.
The dwarven axe smote long and hard during the battle.
C
Dwarven Mattock
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be a dwarf. Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may exert him or her to wound a minion skirmishing an unbound companion.
"In battle they wielded heavy two-handed mattocks..."
U
Mountain’s Shelter
Event • Maneuver
If the Fellowship is at a mountain, make each unbound Dwarf strength +2 until the start of the regroup phase.
"They would stand a siege for weeks, and by that time yet more dwarves might come..."
C
Strength Combined
Event • Skirmish
Spot a Dwarf to make a Man strength +3.
"...the dwarves of the Iron Hills plunged in, wielding their mattocks, upon the other side; and beside them came the men of the Lake with long swords."

Not great for an event that you have to keep in your hand in case your at a mountain, but theres nothing wrong with the balance.

I think it should probably cost as it is better than dwarven axe, but you always add a condition to reduce it’s twilight cost (eg. at a mountain site) because it’s not as good as axe of khazad-dum. Oh, and ’dwarf’ should always have a capital ’D’.

Yeah, make it either skirmishing a Dwarf or skirmishing an unbound companion.

What about a clause to retrieve this card in the maneuver phase for a cost to make it more useful?
