<p>The Dûnedain of the North are just really bland at the moment. I meant to say this unit could be the melee unit of that faction, they won't have invisibility, they won't have bows, they just use melee weapons to fight their enemies. It could have an advantage for the evil factions as well, they won't turn into a porcupine whilst fighting this unit and like that it might become easier to kill some Dûnedain. If there's anything else you want me to clarify, just ask, I'm not that good at explaining my viewpoints. </p>

Would you have to be pledged Alignment Requirement damage weapon?

<p>I was thinking this unit could be like the Tower Guard of Gondor. So I think you at least need to be the lowest pledged alingment title you can get with the ND. </p><p>

As for weapons I've not really thought about that. </p>

<p>It is still realistic that they could have a few guards at their villages for defense. Why not diversify the Dunedain roster a bit? </p>

So, I guess his armour is supposed to be half way between Ranger and Arnor. The only place I can see this NPC fitting at all is possibly as a melee guard for Dúnedain villages. This is because the Dúnedain didn't really have a strong army after the Angmar wars, so fighting with bows while hidden was really the only effective way of guarding all Eriador. Having a melee unit be able to become invisible would be very unbalanced and wouldn't make sense lore wise, so the only place a Dúnedain would need to fight whilst not being hidden would be in defence of one of their few settlements.</i></div>
<p>This is untrue. The Rangers of the North certainly used several types of melee weapons in the defense of Eriador. You can't fight a war just with bows and daggers, and there is not much evidence that the Rangers utilized stealth very much in battle. The Rangers who rode to assist Aragorn, the Grey Company, wielded spears and swords as well as bows, and wore armour. At the very least, there should be Rangers who can switch from bows to weapons other than daggers in melee. I would argue for Dúnedain Knights with spears as well as dismounted versions wielding spears or swords. </p>

Could you show us the armor ingame on the player model?
