I just seen the thread about analyzing Lord of the Rings to make it fit a D&D rule set, but I'd say Lord of the Ring fits a lot mot Warhammer Fantasy Role Play rule set than D&D.
I'd put Gandalf's power to be a level 5 wizard, with at least a career of Captain (and maybe other careers.. He has the age for it). He had absolute mastery of the Lore of Shadow (Gandalf the Grey, duh), with some control over the other Lores (after all, Gandalf did managed to put up a Brown spell when he spoke to animals, and the "Weather-battle" against Saruman was a duel over the Lore of Heavens)
Off course, when Gandalf became the White, I think he made it level 6, and absolute mastery over the Lore of Light.
And about the One Ring's power, most of the thing that has been said about it are true (a simple phylactery-like item for Sauron, that grants invisibility to the wearer, that seduce people's mind, etc...)
However, I am sure it is very valuable to casters (as Gandalf put it: "Trough me, it would gain even more power"). So I'd make the ring give a permanent +2 dices to the casting pool to any caster, +3 if he uses Dark Magic.
Any other way to analyze Lord of the Ring trough Warhammer eyes?
