I really don't like this either.  I guess maybe the goal is to just have only low level campaigns, but I know for me my favorite levels tend to be around 5-13.  That's when you start getting cool stuff and before everything becomes TOO bogged down by high numbers and many abilities.  Apparently some others don't mind this, but it's not my type of game.That's all I have right now.  I do think you should put more flavor into this though.  You said you based abilities on what you read in the books.  I think if you're going to stick to this you should put quotes from the books by the abilities.  Right now everything is just stats and abilities.  Maybe you're planning on doing something like this, I don't know, but I kinda got a little bored just looking at stuff and I wanted to see some flavor.  Don't assume everyone already knows everything, especially since people would just base things off the movies.I don't know if you've ever checked this out, but FFG put out a game called Midnight.  Basically what it did was take Middle Earth and say "The Darkness Won".  With one simple little thing it took a classic setting and changed it in an amazing way.  Maybe if you wanted to put more oomph into your thing, you could do something like that.  Think, what is a simple little change I could do that would totally make this stand out and draw people to it.</blockquote>
