*Balin, Lord of Moria
Companion, Dwarf
Strength 7, Vitality 3.
Resistance 7.
Damage +2
Response: If your condition is about to be discarded by a shadow card, exert two dwarf companions to prevent this.

I'd like him better at damage +1, but I MIGHT let it slide here since his ability is kind of so-so (in my opinion). Not a bad ability, just not knock-your-socks-off good, either.

At the start of each Fellowship phase, you may exert Gandalf twice and spot Bilbo to play a companion from your draw deck. His twilight cost is -1.

My only comment would be to reword the ending "...from your draw deck; that companion's twilight cost is -1."

When you play this artifact, the Ring-Bearer puts on the One Ring until the regroup phase.
Fellowship: Exert a Dwarf to place a tokens on this card.
Skirmish: Remove 3 tokens from this artifact to make a companion strength +1 for each companion you can spot (limit +3).

It's a little bit too easy to put tokens on the card. I'd either remove more for the skirmish ability or change the fellowship ability slightly, perhaps to something like "Exert an unwounded Dwarf..." or "Exert a Dwarf with resistance 5 or more...".

*Bilbo, Dragged Into Adventure
Companion, Hobbit
Strength 4, Vitality 4.

Ring-Bound. Ring-Bearer.While Bilbo is the Ring-Bearer, discard two cards from hand at the start of each skirmish involving him.
Maneuver: Exert Bilbo twice to draw two cards or play an Artifact. The shadow player may remove to prevent this.

Since he has the keyword Ring-bearer, he can't NOT be played as the Ring-bearer, so you either safely remove "While Bilbo is the Ring-bearer" or take out the Ring-bearer keyword and make sure he has "Ringed Resistance 8". Personally, I'd recommend taking out the keyword and giving him ringed resistance...fits better with his text, which is fun, by the way.

*Sting, Newly Found Elf-Knife
Possession, Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a Ring-Bound Hobbit.
While bearer is skirmishing a Troll, bearer is strength +3.

Needs a little more, I think. Perhaps give it a "resistance +1" by default as well, or add another strength option, like "While bearing is skirmishing an Orc, bearer is strength +1".

And Beats High Mountains Down
Condition. Support Area.
While Bilbo is the Ring-Bearer, Gollum cannot be assigned to a skirmish. Discard this condition at the end of the regroup phase.

Fun! Pretty specific, but in a Hobbit set, this is probably fine. MAYBE expand it to include all minions, so it affects Shelob too.

Golden Treasure Inside Is Hid
Event. Skirmish.
Exert a Ring-Bound hobbit to make him strength +3 (or strength +4 if skirmishing a minion).

A tad good for Ring-bound Hobbits, since this would then be a fantastic toss-in for Hobbit Ring-bearers. Hmmmm. Perhaps make it cost and slap a toil 1 on it or something.

Hobbit Riddles
Event. Maneuver.
Spot a Ring-Bound hobbit and Gandalf to discard a shadow condition.

I like that!

If you're willing to wait, I'll slog through these as I have time throughout the week. It's a LOT of cards....

I did a Thorin ringbearer once as well, but Thranduil talked me out of it. Thorin never came close to bearing the ring.

*Mithril-Coat, Kingly Gift

Each minion skirmishing bearer loses strength bonuses from weapons and loses all damage bonuses.
Skirmish: If bearer loses a skirmish, you may add a burden to remove two threats or add a threat to remove two burdens.
Reword the last line to; "Each time..." I would also tone it down a bit. Add a threat to remove a burden, add a burden to remove a threat. Otherwise it's a tad to powerful, especially with the strength bonus.

[ket_the_jet]

Yeah, but if there was to be a Hobbit block expansion, conceptually Bilbo would be the only Ring-Bearer. I just made him so that there would be at least one other Ring-bearer besides Bilbo if people played the imaginary "Hobbit block."
