Article 10, subsection Y, paragraph B

The Ring-Wraiths need to be scary but not too effective or real danger.

At first the Hobbits with the Ring will manage to loose the Rider's track just hiding themselves - although on later days the Nazgul will sense anything... Then on Weathertop a few hobbits and a not-yet-born-inside-King will win them in a fight. But later the Witch King of Angmar will be a match for Gandalf the White himself just making whole armies run away...

Interesting he was the threath of all but still the Hobbits with Aragorn had no major problem with him even if they were alone against him and his fellows in the middle of nowhere...


So anywhere the storyline calls for it the deus ex machina should be called for - or the rules should be changed to meet the foreseen end...
