9 weapons that would help in the fellowship block and a couple more cards

[GloinTheDark]

•Anduril, Veteran Sword
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Aragorn.  He is damage +1.
While Aragorn is skirmishing more than one minion he is strength +3.
It was a fierce blade reforged.

Keys off of Ranger of the North.

•Glamdring, Goblin Bane
Possession • Hand Weapon
Stength: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf.  He is damage +1.
Each orc skirmishing Gandalf is Strength -1.
Maneuver: Discard a spell to make Gandalf strength +2 until the regroup phase.
"...goblins knew it well...

Focuses on Gandalf as the primary fighter, but he has the option to gain strength at the cost of discarding a spell he may need for the rest of the fellowship.  I suppose it kind of simulates him too busy fighting to be able to cast a spell.  For Friend of the Shirefolk.

•Gimli's Battle Axe, Cleaver of Foes
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Gimli.  He is Damage +2.
While you can spot Legolas he is Strength +1.
He was as skilled a fighter as any elf.

I guess it kind of works with Gimli, Son of Gloin.  When he wins, he kills things.  I really wanted to make something that could help reinforce the dwarven damage deck, which this does by the Damage +2.  I put in the part about Legolas to reinforce a multi-cultural deck.

•Long Knives of Legolas, Nimble Blades
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Legolas.  
Each Man and Nazgul skirmishing Legolas is strength -1.
He had more years of training than most men live.

This is kind of a turnaround of the original Long Knives.  I thought it might give him a bigger intial bonus with a smaller sub-bonus.  Then I made it work against a different two types of minions that are common.  You could run a copy of each and use the one that you needed.  

•Boromir's Sword, Knightly Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Boromir.  He is damage +1.
Each time Boromir wins a skirmish you may heal him.  
He was a noble man.  A knight of Gondor.

This would go with Boromir, Son of Denethor.  He could heal after using his ability for hobbits.  Really good with Merry, Friend to Sam.

•Merry's Dagger, Elven Dirk
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Merry.  
If Merry is not assigned to a skrimish he is strength +2.
It was only a small knife to an elf.

This really only works with Merry, Friend to Sam, but makes for a good combo with Boromir.  In Boromir's skirmish you could exert him to make merry +3 strength.  Then, Merry with this knife would be strength 10.  He would exert twice to make Boromir strength +10 then Boromir could heal if he wins.  

•Pippin's Dagger, Elven Knife
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Pippin.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to cancel a skirmish involving bearer.  The shadow player may remove twilight to prevent this.
A hobbit's feet can aid him in battle more than a sword.

The idea is that Pippin's not that great of a companion.  He drops his sword and runs, but it catches the minion off guard.

0 •Frying Pan, Impromptu Weapon
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +1.
Bearer must be a hobbit.  This weapon may be borne in addition to another hand weapon.
Skirmish: If bearer is Sam, discard this possession to wound each minion he is skirmishing.  
I'd rather be using this to battle my hunger.

I don't know.  Hobbits dual weilding seems a bit much, so I tried to not make it ridiculous, althogh the lore makes me laugh.  I almost put Appetite for Distruction.  Doesn't really work with any particular Sam, although maybe Sam, Proper Poet.  

•Sting, Bilbo's Old Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Frodo.  
While you can spot 2 Hobbit Ally's, Frodo is strength +2.
Take it.  It's yours now.

Doesn't really work with mulit-culture, but it does work with Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir.

Here are some other cards that I was thinking about, but that don't necessarily work for fellowship block.

•Gwemegil, Arwen's Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be Arwen.  She is Damage +1.
At the start of the regroup phase you may heal Arwen.
The blade of an elf is well crafted.

This is to work with Arwen's Dagger, and Asfaloth, Elven Steed.

0 Vicious Attack
Event • Skirmish
Make a dwarf strength +2 (or strength +4 if that dwarf is damage +3 or more.)
A dwarf's power is in his beard.

Just goofing around on the lore.  I wanted a card to go with honed in a dwarven damage deck.

0 •Frodo, Lost in Mordor
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 10
Ring-Bearer.  Ringbound.
They were constantly on the look out.

The idea is that Frodo is probably more alert in Mordor, and by this time probably a better fighter thus the strength bonus.  Conversely he has only three vitality to simulate being edgy, tired, and not sleeping and eating well.
I thought about lowering the resistance also, but I'm not really sure.  I think if his resistance was lowered he'd probably have to have some gametext.  Resistance 8, Each time he wins a skirmish you may remove a threat.

I ever thought merry, friend to sam only gives its BASIC strength to another comapnion...

•Anduril, Veteran Sword
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Aragorn.  He is damage +1.
While Aragorn is skirmishing more than one minion he is strength +3.
It was a fierce blade reforged.

That's pretty cool. For extra awesomeness, how about "Aragorn is strength +3 for each minion he is skirmishing over 1." :hey: Also, this I feel should be its usual cost with +1 vitality.

•Glamdring, Goblin Bane
Possession • Hand Weapon
Stength: +2
Bearer must be Gandalf.  He is damage +1.
Each orc skirmishing Gandalf is Strength -1.
Maneuver: Discard a spell to make Gandalf strength +2 until the regroup phase.
"...goblins knew it well...

Do you mean "Discard a spell from hand"? Because there are few condition spells.

•Gimli's Battle Axe, Cleaver of Foes
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Gimli.  He is Damage +2.
While you can spot Legolas he is Strength +1.
He was as skilled a fighter as any elf.

I think this could be more interesting. If you really want it to work with Son of Gloin, maybe make it something to do with exertions.

•Long Knives of Legolas, Nimble Blades
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Legolas.  
Each Man and Nazgul skirmishing Legolas is strength -1.
He had more years of training than most men live.

I think I'd prefer the usual +1/-2. I think this could also be more interesting.

•Boromir's Sword, Knightly Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Boromir.  He is damage +1.
Each time Boromir wins a skirmish you may heal him.  
He was a noble man.  A knight of Gondor.

Yeah, fair enough. Don't you mean the Blade of Gondor?

•Merry's Dagger, Elven Dirk
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Merry.  
If Merry is not assigned to a skrimish he is strength +2.
It was only a small knife to an elf.

Awesome. 

•Pippin's Dagger, Elven Knife
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Pippin.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to cancel a skirmish involving bearer.  The shadow player may remove twilight to prevent this.
A hobbit's feet can aid him in battle more than a sword.

Yeah, fair enough.

0 •Frying Pan, Impromptu Weapon
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +1.
Bearer must be a hobbit.  This weapon may be borne in addition to another hand weapon.
Skirmish: If bearer is Sam, discard this possession to wound each minion he is skirmishing.  
I'd rather be using this to battle my hunger.

You can make a by using round brackets. I would not make a unique version of something which previously was non-unique. Instead, I'd have something like "•Sam's Frying Pan" and make it only bearable by Sam.

•Sting, Bilbo's Old Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Frodo.  
While you can spot 2 Hobbit Ally's, Frodo is strength +2.
Take it.  It's yours now.

"Allies"; it's the plural, not the possessive. Not sure about this; it's fair enough, but it could be very powerful, a +4 straight boost on the RB is very good for 1 card.

•Gwemegil, Arwen's Sword
Possession • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be Arwen.  She is Damage +1.
At the start of the regroup phase you may heal Arwen.
The blade of an elf is well crafted.

Yeah, fair enough. I would lost the damage bonus for its original strength bonus.

0 Vicious Attack
Event • Skirmish
Make a dwarf strength +2 (or strength +4 if that dwarf is damage +3 or more.)
A dwarf's power is in his beard.

Yeah, fair enough.

0 •Frodo, Lost in Mordor
Companion • Hobbit
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 10
Ring-Bearer.  Ringbound.
They were constantly on the look out.

Maybe make his vitality 4 and have something like "Each the fellowship moves, add a burden" to represent how he gets more corrupted the closer he gets to Mordor, or maybe something like "When the fellowship moves from region 1, add 2 burdens. When the fellowship moves from region 2, add 3 burdens."

I ever thought merry, friend to sam only gives its BASIC strength to another comapnion...

That's why he's so awesome! Hobbit Sword, G for Grand... :hey:

[GloinTheDark]

Gwemegil is supposed to be stength +2, Frying pan is supposed to be non-unique, and Glamdring is supposed to be discard a spell from hand.  Thanks for the .  I agree about anduril, too.

•Gimli's Battle Axe, Cleaver of Foes
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Gimli.  He is Damage +2.
While you can spot Legolas he is Strength +1.
He was as skilled a fighter as any elf.

Another idea would be to lose the damage bonus and add something like, "Each time Gimli exerts he is damage +1until the regroup phase," so it could better key off of Gimli son of Gloin.

[GloinTheDark]

I like it:

•Gimli's Battle Axe, Cleaver of Foes
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Gimli.  He is Damage +1.
Each time Gimli exerts you may make him Damage +1 until the regroup phase.
He was as skilled a fighter as any elf.

At the start of the regroup phase you may heal Arwen.
The blade of an elf is well crafted.
I don't like the damage bonus. doesn't seem to fit with elves.  healing seems kinda meh, maybe you can heal the ringbearer? or while skirmishing a nazgul she is damage +1?

Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be Aragorn.  He is damage +1.
While Aragorn is skirmishing more than one minion he is strength +3.

lore should be italicized   maybe just Anduril, Reforged ?
