| The errata ensures that the self-assign only works if Frodo is around, or if you’ve brought {{Card|Son of Hamfast}} or some other Hobbit splash along for the ride. Either way, the Free Peoples player now has a bit of counterplay available by not including such cards with their ARBs.

| While you can spot a Hobbit, the Free Peoples player may not assign a character to skirmish Bill Ferny. Discard Bill Ferny if underground. | | While you can spot a Hobbit, the Free Peoples player may not assign a character to skirmish Bill Ferny. Discard Bill Ferny if underground. |

| There was talk of adding Bill Ferny to the X-List while we worked on Reflections. Clearly, he works well against the alternate Ring-bearers and deters some players from using them. But at that time, we felt that the scales were not tipped far enough against the new Ring-bearers to warrant removing Ferny.
| |
| | |
| But now Shadows gives resistance a much larger role in the game, and the fact that Ring-bearers other than Frodo have a lower resistance is becoming a greater liability in and of itself. That new liability, combined with the existence of Bill Ferny, threatened to make one of the most well-liked aspects of Reflections too unreliable in a tournament environment for most players to consider.
| |
| | |
| Also, as one more strike against Bill Ferny (though an unneeded one), Shadows introduces a couple of new cards to the Wraith culture (renamed from the Ringwraith culture) which, because they work for the whole culture and aren't Nazgûl specific, would have made Ferny a truly frightening force to be reckoned with.
