My attempt at some Hobbit cards

[DáinIronfoot]

Wish I had something useful to add, but the others are right on the money so far. Nice ideas so far. Welcome to the forums and welcome to DCing! Always happy to see fresh meat ideas. Yeah...fresh ideas.

Ok, now to take a break from the companion bonanza.  Here are some weapons.

Sting, Intimidating Weapon
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Hobbit Ring Bearer.
While a minion skirmishing bearer has strength less than bearer's resistance, that Minion is strength -2.
...but they had become mortally afraid of Sting, and dared not come very near

Glamdring, Beater
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf
Bearer is Damage +1
Each time a minion of a certain culture is killed in a skirmish involving Gandalf, each minion of that culture is
strength -2 until the regroup phase.
He fell dead, and the goblin soldiers fled before the sword shrieking into the darkness.

I had the lores written down in my notebook, will post them soon as i get it back.
I also am having some trouble with Orcrist, it will be on the next post.
I'm anxious to find out what you guys think about these.

While a Minion skirmishing bearer has strength less than bearer's resistance, that Minion is strength -1.
to come

I like the subtitle and the idea but it needs another effect or something. It probably should cost 1, and you could make it -2 for the last effect.

Glamdring, Beater
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf
Bearer is Damage +1
When a Minion is killed in a skirmish involving Gandalf, each Orc is strength -1.
to come

Same thing. I would suggest making it a little more powerful.

Good cards!

Nice. Minion doesnt need a capital though to be picky.

Glamdring, Beater
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf
Bearer is Damage +1
Each Orc skirmishing Gandalf is strength -1.
When a Minion is killed in a skirmish involving Gandalf, each Orc is strength -2.
to come

You need to make the last line until the regroup phase of it doesnt work. nice card.

Interesting... Seems good.

Glamdring, Beater
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf
Bearer is Damage +1
Each Orc skirmishing Gandalf is strength -1.
When a Minion is killed in a skirmish involving Gandalf, each Orc is strength -2.
to come

I think this weapon is too specific. I think I would make the last ability work for all minions (though it would still need to say "until the regroup phase" as lem0n pointed out.

should it be each time?
if u do change it like trhan suggests, cut the -1 ability IMSO.

Im really enjoying these DCs.  Thanks for all the input.  I have a request though.  I am struggling with ideas for Orcrist, so if anyone has some ideas please post them.  Here is what i know i want in this version of Orcrist.  I want it to be Titled Orcrist, Biter to go with my version of Glamdring.  I also know i want to use this for the lore: ...but the goblins called it simply Biter.  They hated it and hated worse anyone that carried it.

Here are some instruments for a change though.

•Thorin's Harp, Tale-Bringer
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be Thorin
Fellowship: Exert Thorin to take a Tale into hand from your Draw Deck.

•Bombur's Drum
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be a Dwarf
If bearer is Bombur, each time you play a tale you may reinforce a  token.

Fiddle
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be a Dwarf
Fellowship: Play a tale to draw a card.

There will be tales to follow that play off Instruments representing some of the songs in the Hobbit.

I would appreciate any ideas for Orcrist.

•Thorin's Harp
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be Thorin
Fellowship: Exert Bearer to play a Tale from your Draw Deck.

Seems very strong. I think I'd prefer "Exert Thorin to take a tale into hand from your draw deck." You might want a subtitle as well to differentiate this from the current Thorin's Harp.

•Bombor's Drum
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be a Dwarf
If bearer is Bombor, each time you play a tale you may reinforce a  token.

I think too cheap. I would make it at least or . Also, "Bombur" is the correct spelling! I made 700 cards themed on the Hobbit, so trust me on the spellings!

•Fiddle
Possession • Instrument
Resis: +1
Bearer must be a Dwarf
If bearer is Kili or Fili, each time you play a tale you may draw a card.

Again, I think it has to be . I also think that it should be non-unique given that both Kili and Fili played fiddles.

Killing minions is easy in the culture. Maybe something like recurring something from your discard pile?

There's actually no difference because it's a fellowship action LOL  ... if he takes into hand he'll play it right away  :hey:

Yeah, but then it counts to the Rule of 4.

Yeah sound.

Not amazing but balanced.

Cool.

Thanks guys for all the input.  I could still use some more ideas for Orcrist I just cant find a build i really like.  In the mean time here are some Dwarven tales.

•Adventurers
Condition • Support Area
Tale. When you play this condition place a  token here for each  Instrument you spot.
Skirmish: Remove a token from here to make a dwarf strength +1 (and Damage +1 if the fellowship has moved more than once this turn). (limit 3)
Regroup: Exert a Dwarf bearing an instrument twice and discard this condition to make the move limit +1 for this turn.
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old"

Treasure Hunters
Event • Fellowship
Tale. Spot X  instruments to draw X cards.
"We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold."

•Exiles
Condition • Support Area
Tale. Each Dwarf at a Mountain or Underground site is Resistance +2.
At any other site each Dwarf is Resistance -1.
Maneuver: Exert a Dwarf bearing an instrument to make the current site gain Mountain until the regroup phase.
"The mountain smoked beneath the moon; The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom."

[Anonymous Prodigy]

Make Adventurers unique and maybe cost . Treasure Hunters should cost , and Exiles could be , but I'm not sure. I s'pose you could leave it as is. Nice batch!

Sorry, I meant to think about that, but I didn't. Well, I can give you the Orcrist I made; it might give you some inspiration:

•Orcrist
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Bearer is damage +1.
Maneuver: If bearer is Thorin, exert him to make him strength +2 (and defender +1 if you can spot an Orc) until the regroup phase (limit twice per phase).
They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver, but the goblins called it simply 'Biter'.

Adventurers
Condition • Support Area
Tale. When you play this condition place a token here for each Instrument you spot.
Regroup: Remove two tokens from here and exert a Dwarf with an instrument to make the move limit +1 for this turn.
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old"

A "Dwarf bearing an instrument" is better wording. Not sure about doing that more than once. I guess it's a risk, but it's sure powerful. Perhaps uniqueness would help.

Treasure Hunters
Event • Fellowship
Tale. Spot X instruments to draw X cards.
"We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold."

Good and solid card. Though perhaps should be .

•Exiles
Condition • Support Area
Tale. Each Dwarf at a Mountain or Underground site is Strength +1.
At any other site each Dwarf is Resistance -1.
Fellowship: Exert a Dwarf with an instrument to make the current site gain Mountain until the regroup phase.
"The mountain smoked beneath the moon; The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom."

Again "bearing". Not sure about this as well as Mountain Homestead. But in itself, this is a cool card.

Tale. When you play this condition place a token here for each Instrument you spot.
Skirmish: If the fellowship has moved more than once this turn, remove a token from here to make a dwarf strength +1.
Regroup: Exert a Dwarf bearing an instrument and discard this condition to make the move limit +1 for this turn.
"Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old"

It doesnt seem to be culturally enforced? Also the skirmish ability is way underpowered and the regroup is way OP lol.

Treasure Hunters
Event • Fellowship
Tale. Spot X instruments to draw X cards.
"We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold."

Wow, could be really good. First of all id state dwarven instruments as its a dwarven card then i might limit it depending on how many instruments youre thinking of having.

•Exiles
Condition • Support Area
Tale. Each Dwarf at a Mountain or Underground site is Resistance +2.
At any other site each Dwarf is Resistance -1.
Fellowship: Exert a Dwarf bearing an instrument to make the current site gain Mountain until the regroup phase.
"The mountain smoked beneath the moon; The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom."

Bit powerful all in one card. The first 2 lines balance but the last makes the card too good.
