Re: Post your Gemp-LotR bugs here

I think Boromir, Bearer of council is working fine.  If the text was "At the start of each skirmish involving Boromir, add 3 burdens.  The Free Peoples player may wound Boromir twice to prevent this," then if you did not end up wounding Boromir twice, you would have to add the 3 burdens.  However, that's not what is said.  You are allowed to choose to wound twice, or to add 3 burdens: subtle difference.  If you could wound Boromir twice (so not wearing Armor), you may choose to do so.  This is not a cost to perform an action (such as preventing the 3 burdens if the text of the card was as above), so if the wounds do not end up being added, no biggie.

No... see the above example from the rulebook and Morgul Destroyer. If you don't add both wounds, you don't prevent the three burdens.
