Phazanzar made a good point in one of his posts. Every culture has a Ring-Bearer except Rohan. Who should it be Question

I picked Eomer,

1) ppl would use him instead of the uber stength +2 for each wound one. Wink

2) He looks like a ringbearer. He has that same x-factor as Boromir and Isildur. Give him the ring dangit.

i doubt that there will ever be a rohan ringbearer, because it would be very hard for D to come up with a plausible scenario of how rohan got the ring. but if there ever were one, i would say either eomer or theoden Smile

Why wasn't Rohan at the Council of Elrond? They are under threat too.... or is it that Theoden is under control by Saruman at that time Question

Well, yeah... everyone so far makes sense, Rohan wouldn't. But for fansake, they could just put him in. Think about it... they're all about "what if", Eomer/Theoden could have gone to the council. etc... g2g.

the scenario ive always heard was something like this: what if frodo & sam got captured by uruks too & were carried off w/ merry and pippin. after the attack on the uruks by eomer's bad, eomer found the ring and took it. he then gave it to theoden.

But if Eomer found it, I doubt he'd give it up. It is the one ring Wink

I vote Theoden Smile - he is a nice old man, but knowing that even a loser like Saruman succeeded to corrupt him, the Ring itself will have much greater power on Theoden Twisted Evil And he's also a good warrior, why not to be a RB ?

Yeah, if Theoden was the RB, what would his starting resistance be? Like 2? And he'd have gametext like: While you can spot Eomer or Gandalf, Theoden is resistance +4..

I say Eomer or Eowyn make for a better Rohan RB, and I'm not sure how "plausible" the ring bearer has to be. Let's see:

Galadriel - makes sense, she was offered the ring by Frodo
Gandalf - yep, he almost picks the sucker up in the Shire
Isildur - well, he actually DID have the ring at one point, so ok
Smeagol - see Isildur
Sam - See Isildur
Boromir - He tried to take it, so yeah...
Gimli - this is where we stop making sense. If Gimli had even thought about it, Aragorn and Legolas would have reamed him a new one.. He didn't see particularly tempted at any point. Just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something

Gimli as a RB isn't making sense, because this has nothing to do with the story. But, regarding game tactics, it's a good feature - the Dwarves have become even more damn unstoppable after getting their own RB Twisted Evil
So every Freep culture has its RB except the poor Rohirrim Wink
