The Hobbit

[Aussiejed]

Having just picked up some of the MESBG figures and wishing to introduce my Hobbit-loving 8yo son to some more gaming, I drew up some stats for AoF:S for both the Company and some Goblin opponents.

Feedback much appreciated.

For the company due to their makeup, I mixed two characters (Bilbo & Gandalf) from other lists (Halfling and Human, respectively). All points from the Beta Army Books.

(I did search, feeling sure someone had already done this, but found nothing)

Great idea. Gandalf has a weak profile, but it's ok.

Looks solid, though I might not make Bilbo slow, as Hobbits are portrayed as almost elf-like in how fast/sneaky they can move. It's one of the reasons he was recruited as a thief for the company.

Dwarf and hobbits are slower than human, for example. They have short legs.

Dwarves are, but I don't think Hobbits are, at least not in the books. At the least I might give Bilbo something like Ambush to show his sneaking abilities.
