Page values for "Data:Savagery to Match Their Numbers (1R139)/Data"

Savagery has long been a power card that requires the Free Peoples player to play around in FOTR block. Most anti-Fellowship-size cards are at the 6 companion limit, but Savagery triggers at 5, meaning that fellowships have to either go with a meager 4 companions or risk losing a couple companions anyway to one instance of this card.

The PC has opted to keep the 5 companion spotting element and eliminated the +4 strength boost that lingers to the Regroup phase as the most frustrating aspect of the card. Fierce is scary, but not as scary as one event automatically winning the fierce skirmish for you by dint of the +4 persisting.

Decipher Notes: The secondary function of this card is too strong for its cost, and makes the card superior in almost all situations to any other strength event.

This is a day for revisiting Overtuned Errata of Christmas Past, apparently. Two changes have been made: first, the card has essentially been reverted to the original form, except that the strength bonus for the first skirmish is +4 while the second skirmish is only +2 (instead of +4 for both), and the twilight cost of the event has been increased to 2, requiring that you either utilize Saruman's Ambition (1C133)START_WIDGET"'-0abdc98d3aee392fEND_WIDGET or give away what you're doing.
