Paladin Took: A Weathered Coat

March 2005·p. 35

THE SHORT VERSION

Paladin’s long coat begins with a dark black-and-bone mixture and receives narrow, progressively lighter highlights. Successive brown and bone drybrushes then dirty its lower edge, producing the worn appearance of an older Hobbit while preserving the cleaner shading on the upper garment.

Darkness Falls on the Shire

Adam Troke and Mat Ward explain how the Scouring of the Shire supplement makes modest Hobbit courage matter against opponents who would be unremarkable elsewhere in Middle-earth. Its linked campaign draws on the returning Travellers and resistance to Sharkey, while earlier adventures broaden the peaceful-looking setting without turning its inhabitants into conventional warriors.
