 •Tom Bombadil, Bearer of Memories 
Companion •
Strength: 14
Vitality: 9
Ringed-Resistance: 11
Each time Tom Bombadil takes off The One Ring, exert him.
Each time the fellowship moves, wound Tom Bombadil three times.
Fellowship: Exert Goldberry twice to heal Tom Bombadil and draw a card.
so, Tom Bombadil doesn’t have a ring bearer version, even though he wore it in the fellowship of the ring. i know he would have never gone on the quest for mount doom, and Gandalf said that if they left the ring with him, he probably would have forgotten where he put it. that is the reasoning behind the first drawback.
Tom Bombadil doesn’t really get affected by fighting, he saved the hobbits from the wights without fighting, and he was not affected by the ring at all, so he doesn’t have the normal add burdens drawback or at the start of each skirmish drawback. he does, however, have a heafty each time the fellowship moves drawback. this reflects how it would have been hard for him to be bound to a quest and not free. he would also not enjoy going farther and farther from his home, and goldberry.
so anyway, what do you think? |

Bombadillo as a RB doesn’t make a lot of sense, because he is immune to its lure. Cool idea, though.  |

| right, but this card makes bombadil almost immune to corruption (as far as ring-bearers go), and focuses more on the hardship it would have been on him to forsake is freedom. |

He would be better suited as a follower that is anti-corruption, IMO. Such as this DC from the Field of Cormallen...
 • Tom Bombadil, Eldest
Follower
Strength +1
Resistance +2
Aid - Remove 2 tokens.
Each time you transfer Tom Bombadil to a companion, except a companion, exert bearer.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, remove a burden.

yeah, i definately agree that he is better as a follower, but i thought he should have a ring-bearer version, because he actually wore it. gandalf held it with tongs, gimli hit it with an axe, galadriel freaked-out and went into negative form, they weren’t really "bearers," so, even though it isn’t realistic, it still tries to do old Tom justice.
that’s why this is a Dream Card forum  |

I’d love to see Dain or AC come up with a Tommy RB.  |

Interesting. I think the strength might be a bit high for the Ring-bearer, but the movement penalty is probably high enough to cancel it...
I would like to see a deck with this... use Goldberry, River-daughter and an adventure deck full of rivers - with decent ally healing and if you go second, you might be able to pull it off... With great ally healing, this could be a very strong Ring-bearer.
That being said, his race should probably not be Ring-bearer. Rather, remove the race (see Tom Bombadil, The Master and any Smeagol/Gollum).
The One Ring should be capitalized (all three words), but other than that all, I think this would be a good representation of Tom.
Although, I wonder if an Ally Ring-bearer could work... corruption means he completely forgets about it and it finds its way out. Meanwhile, the companions try to get through and defeat Mordor... |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome ). |

I think that might actually work. Taking corruption almost completely out of it makes sense, and instead, you almost use his ridiculously high vitality as his resistance. You’d need a pretty good support system to keep him alive, but I think it’s actually pretty good as is. I never thought ANYONE could pull off a Bombadil RB that worked. Well done!

HECK no.  I don’t think I could do any better than this, anyway. |
