If you measure value by "screen time", Pippin is just as important as Gandalf (or at least close). The fact that he can't fling spells or mow down orcs should not matter.I mean, from some perspectives, Sam is the hero of LOTR. An accurate LOTR RPG needs to reflect this. It can't do that by being based on power; it needs to be based on story. What good is a LOTR rpg that relegates the main characters of the story, stats-wise, to 0-level cannon fodder? How they supposed to participate at all?LOTR needs something akin to the Buffy RPG. I.e., it needs to balance the White Hats (the hobbits) with the Heroes (Gandalf et al).</blockquote>
