This minion is strength +1 for each burden you can spot.
While this minion is strength 10 or more, it gains fierce.

[2] Easterling Brute [Men]
Minion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Easterling.

Easterling Scout is already a card title (thank you to autolink!). Sounds a little weird, but the concept is fine. Considering he costs [1], I think I'd also prefer some cultural enforcement on him.

Fun. Perhaps he doesn't need 3 vitality, though.

Name changed to Easterling Outrider. Added some enforcement.

I gave the champion vit 3 as he needs strength +8 to become fierce and damage +1, which is awfully high, even with possessions.

I'd lower it to 4 initial and 9 to trigger fierce, personally, then probably drop the spotting requirement. It's okay as is, but borderline in my book. VERY borderline.

This one, however, is probably fine. MAYBE 6 strength (with 13 triggering) would be better.

No problems here. No, really. :P

I wanted all the triggers to work when their strength was doubled - it seemed neater that way.

Are they designed to only work at 10, 14 and 16, cos as it is if youre 17 strength none of them work.

Thanks for the reviews. I wanted the pathfinder to be an aggressively costed minion so I intend to keep it with the spotting requirements and at strength 5.

One final card before we leave the [Men] culture behind and head off to pastures new (I think Rohan culture but I'm not sure yet). This is a card to tie in with desperation. How do you play minions with no cards in your draw deck? Well, this is an attempt at answering that question.

(0) Desperate March [Men]
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 2 [Men] minions.
Desperation - Shadow: Remove a burden to play a [Men] minion from your discard pile as if from hand. If you can spot a companion with resistance 9 or more, discard this condition.

It costs zero lurtzy, when you do brackets o brackets it messes up like that.

Sorry about the twilight cost. Always forget that 0 needs round brackets.

Yeah, sorry about the brackets on the zero thing. One of those little quirks of SMF forums that I never figured out how to fix, so (0) gets to be the oddball of the bunch.

Looks great. This is the sort of card that your scour strategy needs. :up:

Enter the Rohirrim. When looking at these cards, remember Tombs and Saved from the Fire...:

[2] •Theodred, Doomed to Die [Rohan]
Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Valiant.
While you can spot a valiant companion, Theodred is twilight cost -1.
While this card is in your dead pile, Theoden, Eomer and Eowyn are strength +2 and resistance -2.
"They stooped then to lift the body, and found that Theodred still breathed; but he lived only long enough to speak his last words: Let me lie here - to keep the Fords till Eomer comes."

[3] •Theoden, Last of his Line [Rohan]
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Valiant.
While you can spot a [Rohan] companion, Theoden is twilight cost -1.
While this card is in your dead pile, [Rohan] possessions and companions cannot be discarded by Shadow cards.

Its never a good thing to actually rely on companions being dead as the whole point in the game is to have them alive so i was going to moan about theodred but hes not actually the worst of this type ive seen. However Theoden is really not worth is as far as i can see.
