We all know that, when it comes to shootouts, studs are better. Miracle of miracles, this spell can make ALL of your dudes into studs (provided that they can boot).

Downside of course is that, after this fight, your faithful dudes will be unable to do much else this turn. So make this shootout count.

on the Flip side, dudes turned into Studs this way are automatically valid targets for Suppressing Fire, and when you see this on the table, just save your stud removers until after the Strength of Fellowship is summoned.
