Ents of Fangorn and the standard modification from "Hobbits"

[Bandobras Took]

Roll the dice, add the character's unused direct influence, any standard modifications for the character's race (heroes) or other factions in play (minions), and any other modifications from other cards.

I see what you meant about the TW rules. However my example again breaks this rule from the Balrog rule set. Not listed is the standard modification for Radagast being your avatar

Well, that depends on how you define "other cards."

[Sauron]

Well, that depends on how you define "other cards."

Nice try Mr. Took, but listed on the faction is Standard Modification, so it would have to fall under the standard modifications, and not other modifications

[Bandobras Took]

But a standard modification *is* a modification, don't you see?

[Konrad Klar]

Both quotes (from Balrog and from initial post) just mention a Standard Modifications, they do not define a Standard Modifications.

I say that the hobbit characters only apply to the bonus for Ents of Fangorn faction.
Due to the fact that the "Hobbits" faction has "Hobbits" has a modification. WARNING: Infinite loop ahead!!!

Also, some METW factions has "Men" as a modification. Is that for any "Men of ..." faction. Of course not.
Good point to bring-up.
Look at what Vastor is doing with his text changing of MECCG cards.
That is what should of happened, as Fangorn would say, "a long time ago."


SIDENOTE:
Early in Lord of the Rings, a hobbit mentions at a bar that he say a walking birch tree in the North Farthing. Was that an Ent or an Entwife?

[Konrad Klar]

No infinite loop, but at best (worst) one run of the loop if influencing opponent's Hobbits faction.

Proper name "Hobbits" is identical to name of race.
"Men of ..." is not identical to name of race Men.
