Title: Boromir, The Older Brother (FOTR)
Post by: Floydos on October 28, 2016, 04:04:02 AM
Hi, despite fact, that I really like Southrons, I quite like the [Gondor] Men. So after a short thinking, new "lore like" Boromir was created.

[4] •Boromir, The Older Brother  [Gondor]
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Signet: Frodo
Companion • Man
While you can spot Merry and Pippin, Boromir´s twilight cost is -2.
When at the start of the skirmish phase is Boromir not assigned to the skirimish and another companion is, exert Boromir and a Ring-bearer.

Interesting companion. The wording of the second line is a bit weird, I assume you're going for something like Sense of Obligation here, but you need to check the assignment phase for this, not the skirmish phases, otherwise Boromir can get multiple exertions in a single line of skirmishes for not fighting, which seems a bit harsh. It would also force the Free Peoples player to resolve Boromir's skirmish last, although that wouldn't really matter until lurkers were released. I would write it like this:

[4] •Boromir, The Older Brother  [Gondor]
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Signet: Frodo
Companion • Man
While you can spot Merry and Pippin, Boromir's twilight cost is -2.
At the end of each assignment phase, if Boromir is not assigned to a skirmish and another companion is, exert Boromir and the Ring-bearer.
