At the start of each Fellowship phase, if you can spot Frodo, remove a burden.

That will put a target on Sam's back, but still kind of get across his point. Is it over-powered? Maybe, but what isn't in the post-Shadows world?

wow, that is overpowered.  However, as you mention, what isn't in these days.  I like the "target" it paints on Sam though. "hit me or you can't corrupt the rb! nah, nah."

You know, I don't think it is as overpowered as I thought it was earlier.  I mean, if they want to use Alternate Ring-Bearers, they have to use Frodo, Frenzied Fighter. Obviously A Promise, etc., but a single burden per turn with a big target on his back. Plus, since you have to spot Frodo, if Frodo gets killed (and Sam takes the Ring), he effectively has no game text.

I had the same thought as you regarding the number of burdens he removes.  Son of Hamfast is actually "better."  I never thought about alternate RB's either.  It also makes sam very "unique" in that he can only effectively be used with a frodo RB.  I like it.  Sam's text has been updated
