Non-numeric loaded keywords work the same regardless of how many "times" a character gains it. In the case of '''fierce''', that minion skirmishes twice per site and that's it; {{Card|Whip of Many Thongs, Weapon of Flame and Shadow}} will not provide any sort of cumulative '''fierce''' benefit to The Balrog above. When such an effect was desirable, Decipher skirted around the keywords to achieve the same result. A few examples: {{Card|The Witch-king's Beast, Fell Creature}} allows The Witch-king to enter a third skirmish, {{Card|Orc Slaughterer}} has a strength bonus from its game text that stacks with '''enduring''', and {{Card|The Splendor of Their Banners}} allows a single [[archer]] to add more than just one to the archery total.

== Item Class ==
[[Artifact]]s and [[possession]]s often -- but do not always -- have a special loaded keyword called [[Item Class]]. A character may only [[bear]] one card of a given item class at a time, but some hand weapons ({{Card|Hand Axe}}, {{Card|Flaming Brand}}, {{Card|Knife of the Galadhrim}}, and {{Card|Arwen's Dagger}}) can be wielded alongside another hand weapon. [[Box]], [[Bracers]], [[Brooch]], [[Gauntlets]], and [[Phial]] each only appear on one card. In these cases, the item class effectively acts as "limit one per bearer" text (although the lone Gauntlets and Phial are already unique). [[Palantir]] appears on three cards, but they all have the same [[unique]] persona anyway. {{Card|Elven Armaments}} is notable for having two item classes, although in practice this only prevents the use of {{Card|Aiglos}}. (No other [[shield]]s can be played on any {{C|Elven}} characters, and the card prevents all other [[possession]]s anyway.)
