One comment/appeal about the rules: The interdiction of athelas brews seems somewhat unfair for Rangers of the North (at least). Because of the rules, they are limited to Gondorian Bow and Special armor (beefed up leather one, I agree, but not equal to other faction's metal ones), and no special sword or other weapon. Their only hireable NPCs use bows and dagger (±1/2 the hits of factions swords), cost 30+ pieces each and require 300+ alignment points. Yes, they are "invisible" when firing arrows, but players are not. Finally, athelas is already pretty rare.

While orcs/uruks have access to factions weapons and steel armors, orc draugth (strength and speed), and their foot soldiers cost half and required 100+ alignment points. And orc draught is certainly easier to make (at least, you can make grow the mushrooms).

So, could we authorize athelas brews, at least for the Rangers?
