The Book of Gollum

The Book of Gollum
Bangerang Tolkien Custom


The figure used for this unit is Gollum from Heroclix: Lord of the Rings Set.



Character Bio: Gollum, originally known as Sméagol, was at first a Stoor, one of the three early Hobbit-types. The name Gollum was derived from the sound of his disgusting gurgling, choking cough. His birth can be estimated to have happened in the year TA 2430. His death date is given as March 25, 3019. His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the One Ring. At the time of his death, Sméagol was about 589 years old, a remarkable age for a creature that was once a Hobbit, but he had been deformed and twisted in both body and mind by the corruption of the Ring. His chief desire was to possess the Ring that had enslaved him, and he pursued it for many years after Bilbo Baggins found it while walking in the Misty Mountains in the book The Hobbit.


SERVE THE MASTER OF THE PRECIOUS
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 1, choose an opponent that now controls Gollum. Remove any Order Markers on this Army Card, then give the card to that opponent. If you roll a 2 or higher you may take a turn with any Ring Bearer you control who is holding The One Ring. Subtract 1 from your die roll for each Corruption Marker on the chosen Ring Bearer’s Army Card. 


THE PRECIOUS IS MINE! 
When attacking a figure who is holding The One Ring, Gollum rolls 2 additional attack dice. 

LURK IN SHADOWS 
If Gollum is on a shadow space, opponents’ figures must be adjacent to attack him with a normal attack.
