Other wise i still can play Tracker by Stand and Fight but cannot commit hi to the quest. But still can use him later for defend or attack.

This second line is the correct way to play this combo. You have to announce all questing characters and exhaust them at the beginning of the phase. You can play an event card like Stand and Fight to bring in the Tracker, but you cannot commit him to the quest because the 'commit characters' step of the phase is already done.

Edited as I re-read what Glaurong was doing and I agree with Puzzle.

Since I already looked it up for Woz before he figured it out, I'll post here so anyone else who is confused understands why it is this way.

From the FAQ:

Q: Does a player commit his characters to a quest at once, or one character at a time? When can a player trigger responses to committing his characters to a quest?
A: A player commits all characters he wishes to commit to a quest at once. Responses to the characters committing (such as those on Aragorn and Theodred) can then be triggered in the order of that player’s choice. After a player has committed his characters (and triggered any responses to those characters
committing), the next player has the opportunity to commit his characters to the quest.

Since all characters have to be committed at once he could commit Eowyn and Theodred, discard Northern Tracker for Eowyn, get the extra resource from Theodred and then play Stand and Fight with that extra resource. However, after Northern Tracker comes into play it could not join the quest because all questing characters commit at once, and this was already done.

Yes i agree with that. But in begining of the quest phase before you commit characters to the quest you also can play action right???

You can use stand and fight to put norther tracker before you commit characters to the quest and he can join them right???

Yes, that should be fine since you haven't committed characters to the quest yet. The only reason you couldn't do it the other way is because you are using the resource gained from committing Theodred to the quest so you've already passed the commit part.

Big Show,

To each his own, and as long as you are having fun you're getting value from the game! I get that every play through has differences and that keeps the quests fresh. This is especially true if you run a couple different decks as the playstyle is completely different. My primary deck, a leadership - spirit (with a splash of lore), plays the same quest very differently than the Tactics Lore deck I also have. I also play around with experimental ones to have different experiences.

For me...I just would rather have more of a challenge for replays. As an example - I've not beaten Dol Gulder solo yet. I've given up winning with my standard decks for the time being and am trying to build one to beat it.

So I understand why you would like to see level 1-3s in expansions. Hopefully you see my points about wanting them to be at least 4s.

Just got the Rhosgobel. Play 3 session 2 players. Lose 2 win 1. Win only cose put in my friend lore deck 3 copies of Lore of Ilmadris.

Very cool quest!!!

Play Carrock as well. Lose 2 win 1. So now in 2 player game balance is much better. The game scaling more perfect now.

I gonna try Rhosgobel solo will see what happens.......

Really disappointed about Emyn Muil difficult level 4........... Hope this one will be interesting at least.
