Guys help me out! I want to create a new Ringbearer.

1. It is Sauronculture
2. Bearer is Sauron
3. In the gametext must be told that the fellowshipfase = Dominionfase (=Same as fsfase but then with a not freeps RB and with Pawns instead of companions)
4. Shadowevents ,conditios, possesions and artifacts may be played in the dominionfase.
5. Freepscards can not be played in his dominionfase.
6. His resistance to not lose the ring is 10. If he has 10 burdens he loose the ring and the game     
    is lost
7. He should have 5 vitality
8. He should have (i think) 10 strength

The whole idea is to make it possible to have a shadow ringbearer. Instead of the fellowshipfase we call it the dominionfase (or something like that). Companions and freepscards can not be played: Instead you can play pawns (shadowcompanions.. which has to be created) and shadowevents, conditions, possesions and artifacts. So you can get a whole shadowdeck :)
Minions can still fight the shadow dominionship.. sound strange, but imagine that it's either rebelllion or stupidity :)

Maybe you people can help me out crystalizing this out!

Thx, jw

In essence it's a fair enough idea, but unfortunately with the amount of support your suggesting (creating a new card type and a whole set of new cards that use them) you're essentially creating a new game. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but at that point it is no longer LotR TCG.

This idea is only possible within the game of LotR TCG if that Sauron Ring-bearer was a Free Peoples card that worked with other Free Peoples cards, but then you get in trouble with the flavour - why is Sauron running with the Ring and Aragorn to Mount Doom?

I think the closest you can get to this is a Sauron/Saruman companion, which makes a certain amount of flavour sense (Saruman is "good" for some of the Third Age and Sauron appears "good" in the Second Age when he gives the craft of ring-making to the Elves).
