Why is she hunter? Why not ranger? I love this Arwen!  :up:

I guess the theme was hunter. Plus, cards like A Ranger's Versatility or others that take advantage of being a ranger would fit in too easily.

[Gondor][4] •Aragorn, Bearer of Temptation
Companion, Man
Ringed Resistance 4
Strength 8, Vitality 4
Hunter 1
While Aragorn is the ring-bearer, at the start of each skirmish involving Aragorn, add one burden for each of the following companions you cannot spot: Gimli, Legolas, Merry, Pippin.
Tis interesting, but I'm not convinced. Once you stop those companions, this guy is one of the best RBs out there.

[Dwarven][2] •Gimli, Axeman of Erebor
Companion, Dwarf
Resistance 7
Strength 6, Vitality 3
Damage +1
While you can spot Legolas, Aragorn is resistance +1.
Skirmish: Exert Gimli to make a companion with resistance 5 or more Hunter 2.
I find the first line rather strange. Having on A spotting B to give a bonus to C seems a bit too convoluted for my tastes.

[Elven][2] •Legolas, Elven Bowman
Companion, Elf
Resistance 7
Strength 6, Vitality 3
Archer.
While you can spot Gimli, Aragorn is resistance +1.
Skirmish: Exert Legolas to make a minion lose Hunter until the regroup phase.
See note above. Probably doesn't need to wait until the regroup phase.

[Shire][1] •Merry, The Brave One
Companion. Hobbit
Strength 3, Vitality 4 Resistance 7
While you can spot Pippin, Aragorn is Resistance +1 and Pippin is strength +1.
Skirmish: If Merry is not assigned to a skirmish, discard him to make a minion lose Fierce until the regroup phase.

[Shire][1] •Pippen, Finding Courage
Companion, Hobbit
Strength 3, Vitality 4, Resistance 7
While you can spot Merry, Aragorn is Resistance +1 and Merry is strength +1.
Skirmish: If Pippin is not assigned to a skirmish, discard him to make a minion lose Damage bonuses until the regroup phase.
Again... And certainly this fellowship is left with the best RB in the game... They're skirmish texts are very nice though.

[Elven][2] •Arwen, Half-Elven
Companion, Elf
Strength 6, Vitality 3, Resistance 7
Hunter 1
While Arwen is not exhausted, the Ring-Bearer is Resistance +2.
Response: While Aragorn is the Ring-Bearer, if Arwen is killed add 3 burdens.
Very swish. Don't love the hunter, and it shouldn't be a response action because then it's optional! ;) Should rephrase: "If Arwen is killed and Aragorn is the Ring-bearer, add 3 burdens." This is my favourite of all these companions.

Thranduil, what if I remove Hunter 1 from Aragorn's game text? I mean, it blows the "Three Hunters" idea, but that' okay...

I think that Aragorn at Resistance 4 is quite reasonable. I thought at first about having it "Each time the fellowship moves" adding the burdens, but I am not sure about that yet.

If you kill Legolas or Gimli, the first line of their game texts doesn't work. I think I like that.

4 copies of Merry and Pippen each in the deck seems reasonable and Arwen is just another character that may help. I will remove the response!
