I think this is probably unintended, but when playing those Saga quests that use either version of Fellowship Aragorn, with one player using three Hobbit heroes, then due to the wording on his card, Barliman Butterbur seems to become useless whenever that player is the first player (which is permanently in the case of playing singlehanded solo).
QuoteIf each hero you control has the Hobbit trait, damage from undefended attacks against you may be assigned to Barliman Butterbur.
Both versions of Fellowship Aragorn include the text "The first player gains control of Aragorn." which seems to neutralise Barliman Butterbur's ability.
There may be other cards similarly affected by this situation (though thankfully Thicket of Spears is immune for monosphere tactics decks).
Am I reading this right?
