The idea of this document is to provide a list of ringwraith abilities and some comment on the main strategies, including the virtual cards. I will try to update the document from time to time. The normally written text is the text as published on cards on in the MELE rulebook. If I am leaving out a...

The only thing the card makes possible is to take a character from the deck instead of hand. It does not overrule anything, unless I am making a huge mistake in judgement.

I think our idea of the words bonus and penalty is different. My idea (and i guess Boderhamsters): bonus: +1 to ccs normal state (no bonus, no penalty): nothing penalty: -1 to ccs Strictly spoken not getting a bonus can be considered a penalty, and that is what you mean. If this card is introduced, ...

I think the word "allowed" refers to the normal rules for Ringwraith followers: at a Haven, under DI, during organization phase.

This just makes it one of the cards that allows the play of followers at all, like the normal They Ride Together, The WitchKing ability etc.

Of course you can increase his DI temporarily, but not permanently, so a 4 Ringwraith company is the practical limit. I am composing sort of a Ringwraith Manual including Virtuals, and wanted to be certain I actually understood the card.

Let me see if I get this straight: Khamul Unleashed Virtual If Khamûl the Ringwraith is in play (as your Ringwraith): Fell Rider does not discard or prohibit the play of followers under Khamûl, and your Fell Rider can never be discarded unless Khamûl is removed from play. You may tap this card to pl...

2nd Proposal: Galva scout/sage/diplomat man 1 MP, 4 mind, 1 direct influence 2 prowess, 9 body Unique. +2 direct influence against the Men of Dorwinion faction. Against Nazgul, +6 to her prowess, and his body is halved (round up). While she is unwounded and not at a haven, all characters in her comp...

Eomer is a nice character and will be played with the Rebuilt the Town V and Horses, Horses, Horses V etc. One of the few men rangers. I think any ability for him is either overpowered, or it is almost useless. Erkenbrand and some of the other Rohan guys have more problems, because they hardly have ...

Non-haven is to avoid cheese purposes. I cannot always point at exact strategies, but I am pretty good at smelling cheese in new card texts.l

Galva is indeed a character that is never used, whereas the hobbits are pretty ok. I think you also need to boost her prowess up to 2 or 3. That would make her decent, more specialistic than for example Annalena, but comparable. She already has a lot of skills for a low mind character. As it is: Gal...

I think there are so much ideas here that this could better be on two separate virtual cards: They Ride Together V and a Black Rider V. If I have time this weekend I will compose a list of my ideas, including a description of what each ringwraith could do with his virtual abilities. More information...

This question is only about the german promo's, not about any of the other UEPs. Can we state explicitely in the text with the virtual sets that the german promo's are playable in any virtual game? I know any tournament organizer can make his own decisions, but if you state it as the designers with ...

There will always be characters that are played more or less than others. If there are good ideas to boost specific characters that are absolutely useless, I do not mind. I do not see any point in shifting the balance between characters that are pretty ok and somewhat better. pretty ok: Merry, Pippi...

Please, no more half-characters than hobbits and orc-scouts.

There are plenty of hl reducing cards out there. This is indeed not only a discussion of overpowered or not, but more cheeze or annoying strategies is certainly not what we aim for with these virtuals.

At least now you can count on your opponent to at least move to ruins or so once in the game (exceptions Palantir of Minas Tirith, Wizards Ring and Raider-hold, Gobel Mirlond) I agree with Marcos that there is no need to open up for more cheese. I think most hero factions already see some play.
