•Frodo, Ringbearer
Companion•Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: (10)
Ringbearer
While you can spot 4 Free Peoples cultures, Frodo is strength +1 and gains this ability: "
Response: If a companion is about to take a wound, exert Frodo to prevent that."
Nice, but very powerful. Good defense against a surprise Violent Hurl or something like that.
•Pippin, Ninth of the Nine companions
Companion•Hobbit
Strength: 3
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 9
Merry is strength +2. While you can spot a
Man, Pippin is strength +1.
Response: If a unbound hobbit is about to be overwhelmed, spot 4 Free Peoples cultures and exert Pippin twice to discard each minion in that skirmish.
Is the companion still overwhelmed? Strange question, I guess, but with the questions over Sting, Bane of the Eight Legs...
•Merry, Eighth of the Nine Companions
Companion•Hobbit
Strength: 3
vitality: 4
resistance: 9
Pippin is strength +2. While you can spot a

Cool! But with a sword, everyone knows, and all that, he could be really powerful.

•Gandalf, Second of the Nine Companions

Strength: 6

Gandalf is strength +1 for each Free Peoples culture you can spot (limit +4). Each unbound Hobbit is Resistance +1.
A bit of a relapse on Friend of the Shirefolk, perhaps? I like it.

Companion•Elf
Strength: 6

Archer. While you can spot a Dwarf, the Shadow player may not spot more than 6 companions.
