Ringbearer with Highest Vitality

[dmaz]

I'm trying to figure out which Ringbearer could have the highest possible vitality. I think its a tie between Faramir, BoQ and Gandalf, BoO because Gandy can't bear both Shadowfax, GotM and Radagast's Weed Bag.

Let me know if I'm missing something.

3 - Boromir, Bearer of Quality
2 - The One Ring, ATAR or ROD
1 - Narsil, Blade of the Faithful
1 - Ranger's Cloak
1 - Boromir, My Brother
1 - The Saga of Elendil
1 - Ent Draught
Total: 10

4 - Gandalf, Bearer of Obligation
2 - The One Ring, ATAR or ROD
1 - Narya
1 - Gandalf's Staff
1 - Shadowfax, GotM
1 - Ent Draught
Total: 10

If you went by Strength for the tie-breaker, Gandalf could win because of Shadofax's strength boost

Hmm....just remembered Endurance of Dwarves, lol.

Definitely Gimli or Gandalf.

3 - Gimli Bearer of Grudges
2 - The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles or RoD
1 - Ent Draught
4 - Endurance of Dwarves
1 - Ring of Retrubution

You forgot Radagast's Herb Bag for Gandalf.

Definitely Gimli or Gandalf.

3 - Gimli Bearer of Grudges
2 - The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles or RoD
1 - Ent Draught
4 - Endurance of Dwarves
1 - Ring of Retrubution

You forgot Radagast's Herb Bag for Gandalf.

I think with Gandy you can either have the herb bag or Shadowfax, but not both...I'm just not sure about how Shadowfax, GotM 's text works.

It says to discard all other possessions he bears, does that mean just upon playing it? Because after it says he can't bear handweapons (not other subsequent possessions). I guess I'm just wondering if you can play Shadofax first and then the herb bag and be fine...I'm guessing no.

Or, for more vitality than damage, give him Ring of Retribution.
