Why would Boromir be an Inquisitor? Surely his will is too weak to have anything like that kind of anti-magic power?

Perhaps a slightly modified idea might be to try something like this... taking the Fellowship that continue the War against Sauron, and leaving Frodo and Sam out of it...

Aragorn; Human, highly charismatic Ranger. Not a Stalker - Aragorn ends up with some decent armour before the end, and certainly never casts spells. Healing abilities once he reaches higher levels...
Legolas; Elven Archer through and through. [img]smile.gif[/img] Incredibly dextrous.
Gimli; Dwarf fighter, damn right. A pure 'tank'. Massive constitution, grand master of the Axe.
Merry; Halfling Thief. Let's be honest - if there's one true backstab in the whole of the Lord of the Rings, it's Merry kneecapping the Lord of the Nazgul. Plus Merry never gets much armour, really...
Pippin; Halfling Bard - probably closest to Jester, really. Gets some decent chainmail while fighting with Gondor. Irritating as hell. Sope pickpocketing ability - he does steal the Palantir, does he not?
Gandalf the White - Human Cleric. Gandalf's magic is far, far closer to clerical power than mage spells. He emboldens people, turns Undead (well, Nazgul) and as Gandalf the Grey even unleashes a Flame Strike... he never actually goes so far as to throw a real fireball.
The only real problem is Gandalf's sprite, but my advice is to try and hack Gandalf to use Elminster's sprite somehow (heh!)

That's my own take on things. Hope it helps.
