Strategy[edit]
An important member of the "Hobbit Hospital" strategy, Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals can heal Merry or Pippin at the cost of an exertion in the Fellowship phase. While Hobbits have access to several healing options with Pipes and Pipeweeds, events such as Hobbit Appetite (1C294)
or Stout and Sturdy (1C315)
, and conditional healing such as The Shire Countryside (3R113)
, allies such as Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals, Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass (1U309)
, and The Gaffer, Sam's Father (1R291)
are popular for the ability to heal from the support area. The self-healing Hobbit Party Guest (1C297)
and Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir (1R289)

appearing in many 
Rohan decks (and the less popular Pippin's Sword (7R114)
in 
Gondor decks). The Reflections expansion added Merry’s Dagger (9R18)

as well as a support area condition, Everyone Knows (9R50)
, which focuses on having healed Hobbits.
