Forgotten Scrolls V

[Thorsten the Traveller]

Forgotten Scrolls V: minor item
Lost Knowledge. May not be included in a starting company. Only playable at a Free-hold, Border-Hold or Ost-in-Edhil. Tap a sage in the company and discard this card to test a gold ring item: you may only play a lesser ring resulting the test.You may add or subtract 2 to any roll testing a ring in the company for the rest of turn, yet this may not result in playing The One Ring.

If you know what a lesser ring is, you know better how to distinguish the more powerful one's also. This incourages play of lesser rings as well as improves testing of other rings. Forgotten Scrolls is not playable at most sites where you play rings, so the advantage of taking a test with you is decreased by the fact you have to play it with other resources.
