I’ve compiled extensive list on cards that refer to Ring-bound or unbound companions, and how they would be affected if ALL companions were Ring-bound. You can find those lists here. I originally posted the lists in this thread, but since the links don’t work, I figured it’d be much easier to go through in another forum. |

In order to be really balanced, fellowship keyword must not just be replaced by ring-bound, but if you can spot only fellowship companions, each of them gains ring-bound. Here’s the trick - you cannot use Smeagol or Merry & Pippin from other sets to get bonuses for spotting 4 ring-bound hobbits. It would be not "broken", but rather unfair.
If done so, it won’t change the game extremely (and some new cards from D seem to do so), just add a nice possibility for some cool new decks. |

Right. Nor could you use ANY companions, or Ents, or knights, or lots of strategies people currently use. And like you said, no non-fellowship versions of the Nine Walkers could be used either, so no other Sams, Aragorns, Gandalfs, etc.
But the potential with ALL Ring-bound companions is pretty neat. I think it would be a lot of fun. Too bad there aren’t more fellowship companions....
Wow, who ever thought I’d say that after how disappointing they seemed to be? ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) |

No, but the fellowship keyword WAS. Aragorn and Boromir and Legolas are good IN SPITE of the keyword. |

Could be possibly mutually beneficial for the shadow and fellowship side. Something like while Companions with the Fellowship keyword are assigned to a skirmish, they give a strength or damage bump to other companions, but the flip side is they are strength minus whatever the other companions get. To clarify, since I confused myself, If Arragon has the FELLOWSHIP keyword, he makes other companions strength + 1 or +2 or whatever while he himself is assigned to a skirmish, but in return he himself will be strength -1 or -2 during his skirmish. Hope that makes more sense....sounded perfectly reasonable in my head Possibly change it up per culture....one culture can heal a companion or 2 at the start of the maneuver, but in turn must wound, not exert, be wounded once or twice in return...etc etc etc |
You look like your smuggling sausages.....just in the wrong places. |
