Thought I would do some possessions and artifacts next.

[2] •Guthwine, Battle Friend [Rohan]
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Vitality +1
Bearer must be Eomer.
Each wounded minion skirmishing Eomer loses all damage bonuses and cannot gain damage bonuses.
Skirmish: Exert Eomer to make a unbound Man strength +2.

Guthwine for the Mark! That card is strong, and it definitely helps a HiDaN deck and opens up a [Gandalf] men/ [Rohan] deck too... I think I would forgo the vitality bonus and make it strength +2 instead, or for [3] do the strength +2, Vitality +1 like Herugrim, Sword of the Mark and Anduril, Flame of the West.

[1] •Sting, Bane of Evil Things [Shire]
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Resistance +1
Bearer must be Frodo or Sam.
Skirmish: If bearer is not exhausted, add 3 burdens to wound a minion in bearer's skirmish for each wound on bearer.
That's pretty sweet...would you want to add Bilbo as a bearer for this? Or maybe: "Bearer must be a Ring-Bound Hobbit."

[2] •Merry's Sword, Barrow Blade [Shire]
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Merry.
Skirmish: Exert Merry twice to exhaust a Nazgul an unbound companion is skirmishing.
This one is pretty good to. I agree with Dain--it's specific enough to work.

[2] •Pippin's Sword, Troll's Bane [Shire]
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Pippin.
While Pippin is skirmishing a Troll or a Uruk-Hai he is strength +3.
This is nice. I like that it plays off of the books, where Pippin did take on a troll (it didn't in specifically well), but at least makes him a companion that you could throw out there to absorb some wounds. As with Merry's sword, I would consider making them the [1] that the other swords are, because they are specific to the hobbits. You could make them both "Bearer must be a hobbit" and then have the bonus, "While bearer is Pippin..." or Skirmish: If bearer is Merry, exert...
