dain, why didn't you ever make a bombadil ARB? i think you might be the man for the job.
Because the flavour justification is non-existent? Because mechanically a strength 14 vitality 5 RB is just insane? Because there is no worse flavour for an ARB than Tom, who is so uninterested with the Ring that he just tosses it into the air and makes it disappear? Because he has nothing to do with what goes on outside his own borders and so would never take anything to
Mount Doom, let alone
the Ring of Rings?
As you may have guessed, I really can't stand the idea of a TBRB. Sam, obviously fine. Aragorn, also fine: it could have been his destiny given that it's
Isildur's Bane and he is the Heir of Isildur, he was at
the Council of Elrond and could have taken it at Amon Hen (in the film). All the ARB's could possibly have taken the Ring at some point during the story.
Tom Bombadil certainly could not.
