exert him twice would make the card more balanced

It’s artifact grabbing is insane! I’d make it add a burden or 2. Also, why does he have such low resistance and why is he not a ring-bearer? Good ideas, though.

Here we see an interesting characteristic. Lurker, on a companion? But why?

While initially designing the card, we thought of having an ability to cancel lurker, much like Gimli, Lord of the Glittering Caves. But in favor of not making an overpowered card, and wanting a cooler special, we decided that having a lurker companion would hurt a lurker strategy just as bad, by allowing a non-lurker to fight before a lurker.

Interesting thought.

And then with his artifact grabbing text, and ability to harness the power of healing to heal Dwarves and men, what’s not to love about this little thief?

You haven’t specified, what card type is this? I don’t quite get the exertion thing, it’s not a very -ish ability, and it might be too powerful.

Well…here we see a new version of Sting. A cool little weapon, its resistance bonus makes it particularly useful with Crouched Down. Unfortunately, our new Sting can only be borne by Bilbo, but that’s not a problem because its ability only shines when use with Dwarves, and Bilbo is the best choice for working with Dwarves.

Rocking!

Here we see Bilbo working to bring peace between the men of Dale and the Dwarves. Like the book, Bilbo facilitates the cooperation of Dwarves and men, getting nothing out of it for himself.

’s healing abilities can help the dwarves, who are notorious for their lack of healing, and the Dwarves lend a hefty damage +1 bonus to finish off any tricky minions.

Funny, my version of Roast Mutton is culture! Might make the last ability spot Gandalf instead. Solid card.

Here we see Bilbo up to his tricks. You can use Roast Mutton it in a pinch to win a skirmish, or you can save it till the regroup phase where its healing ability becomes more useful. Throw in a companion, and it becomes a great healing card, for only a common! Not to mention that it stays on the table until you need it, unless you go against condition discarding.

Well...let the reviewing begin! After this, we move on to the unbound hobbits.

Kinda bad with the above Bilbo, since he’s a lurker. But overall, good.
