Can you put minion minor items under Armory? Does armory gain MP from them? For FW and for Hero?
Armory wrote:Only you and your companies can use Armory. You may place any minor items from your hand under Armory during your organization phase. A character at a Haven can store a minor item under Armory instead of to your marshalling point pile. When you otherwise would be allowed to play a minor item from your hand at a Border-hold, Free-hold, or Haven, you may play an item from under Armory instead. If you have at least three minor items under Armory, gain 1 marshalling point.

MELE rules, Deck Construction wrote:Only Ringwraith players may include minion characters, resources, and sites in their decks, while only Wizard players may include hero characters, resources, and sites in their decks.
However, there is an exception o this: a Ringwraith player may use any hero item resource card as if it were a minion item resource card. Similarly, a Wizard player may use any minion item resource card as if it were a hero item resource card. The following apply:
· All normal requirements must be met to play the item.
· All restrictions to movement still apply.
· All bonuses and special abilities are ignored.
· The item is only worth half (round up) of its normal marshalling points.
· The hero version of a unique item is a manifestation of the same minion version of the item and vice versa.
as a hero yes, i don't see why not. As a FW i'm not sure wether it targets/affect the items or the items target/affect the armory...

As a Fallen-wizard, no. As a Hero player you can, but they will not help to gain the marshalling point from Armory.
As I understand the rule: "hero(minion) resource event may not target/affect minion(hero) resource, or site" only applies to FW player.

If so the whole thing is simple.

A company moving through certain regions is passive condition for action from Dragon Ahunt but it is not condition for Dragon Ahunt itself.
Storing of Rescue Prisoners is condition for achieving MP from this card but is not condition for the card itself.
Playing a card worth 3MP for its player is not condition for A More Evil Hour itself, only for tapping the card.

Thats all.

may not be used as conditions for hero resources. Note that a Fallen-wizard may play
special ring items regardless of the alignment of the gold ring item tested.
So this rule says only about condition of playing resource (active condition), or it says about condition of any effect/action of resource that involves item.
In second case decreasing usability of A More Evil Hour, Armory, Into The Smoking Cone, Fate of The Ithil stone, Token of Goodwill.
Especially for A More Evil Hour the second option seems odd.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

Ok makes sense. Another good example is Stinker. Surely he is able to force the discard of opponent's hero One Ring...

So to re-visit the ruling:

As a Fallen-wizard, no. As a Hero player you can, and they count towards gaining the Armory marshalling point.
