Has anyone thought of combining character traits. Imangine the the
Beornling that start the game having 15 stealth, double healing, and
bonus challenge rank (say +15 instead of +20). Imagine them having a
chance to hire a new character with all 3 attributes. Let all cloud
lord and Ice KIng characters get 10 stealth no more no less.This would
prevent the +30 stealth gods that the Cloud Lord and Ice King tend to
hire from dominating the game. While one can argue that some
character could be more stealthy than others, in Tolkien's world no
human or orc could every be more stealthy than an elf. Let the evils
have a chance of hiring a troll character with double healing and +20
challenge. All elves should be stealthy.
By mixing up the character bonuses and combining some, the game can
get more interesting and balanced.
