The thing with hunter is the name fits so well with a lot of cards, Regardless of what the keyword actually does.

cut the hunter bonus, make it give a straightaway strength bonus. |

I hate it - my least favourite LOTR mechanic (except perhaps site control). Bleh! Boring and overpowered. Which is why I don’t use it.

Presumably Gimli has a very similar exertion ability? But there is something to be said for EL’s point. Perhaps a spotting requirement (eg. a hunter or 2) to guard the power level?

Personally, I think he’s overpowered with Hunter 1 (being effectively a /7/3/6 archer companion with a decent ability) so would remove it. Or possibly get rid of archer.

No problems, but it really means that the hunter bonus on the guy before is unnecessary.

Thanks for the reviews, guys! 
And much to Felipe and Thranduil’s chagrin, we have yet another hunter:
 • Gildor, Inglorion
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Muster. While Gildor is in your starting fellowship, his twilight cost is -1.
Each time Gildor wins a skirmish, you may reinforce an token.
“’I am Gildor,’ answered their leader….”
• Long Ago Departed
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may spot an Elf to remove a threat (and remove a burden if you can spot 5 or more burdens).
Regroup: If you can spot no more than 4 companions, discard this condition to reconcile your hand and remove .
”’…we too are now only tarrying here a while, ere we return over the Great Sea.’”
 Elven Counsel
Event • Response
If a Shadow player reconciles, spot 2 Elves to reveal a Shadow player’s hand. Exert a companion for each minion revealed. If no minions are revealed, add a burden and discard your hand.
”’Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.’” |

I also agree its a dull mechanic. Nothing wrong with the cards you mentioned AP, but the idea as a whole is pants. Violent hurl could just have easily said or damage +1 if 3 or more vitality etc.. Anything really. It didnt have to be hunter. Just make a different spotting requirement. Hunter was uneccessary and tedious. And ultimately besides the three hunters and the uruks, giving any one else hunter is stupid. Thats why D should have come up with something better.

See? Why the heck would some elf at rivendel be a hunter? It doesnt fit. But besides that this guy is too hard so id actually remove the hunter anyway. A 2 cost 8/3/6 is way too strong with a neat ability like he has.

Cool but seeing as you can discard it and play it again id be wary of such easy burden removal. Maybe change it to just threats to balance?

Really good for deciding the double move so i like the painful balance but you get away scott free if they have no minions as you would definately choose to move again then and there was no downside. Maybe exert a companion for each minion. Then add a burden or 2 if there are no minions. Something like that?

Doesn’t quite work with this title - D’s version is called Gildor Inglorion, Of the House of Finwe, meaning that yours is a separate person. Needs a subtitle. Also, why would you want a cost Elf in your starting fellowship? Who could you include? I’d make it after spotting say 2 Elves, and then maybe -2. Otherwise solid.

Better to say ’If you cannot spot 5 companions...’ Perhaps should cost or require exerting an Elf, especially with that ability that triggers when you play it.

Not good enough - they wouldn’t have reconciled yet, so you have no idea what they’re going to have next site! As a ’Fellowship/Maneuver ability event it could work a lot better, but I don’t think it needs any downside at all - look at the equivalent  card.

This guy seems a little weak (compare to Aragorn, Thorongil). I would stick with the cost and stats from the original card ie. cost 2, str 6 vit 3 res 6.
Then give him Hunter 1 and the reinforcing ability.
That’s my opinion, for what it’s worth,
