Ring-bound is an Unloaded Keyword included on characters that have had their fates tied to the One Ring more tightly than usual, in particular Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol. This keyword was first introduced in The Two Towers expansion, and was used to attempt to split the card base between characters who were with Frodo (Ring-bound) and characters who were not (unbound), with cards intentionally only affecting one or the other of these groups. At the time, this meant including Faramir and other Ithilien Rangers under the Ring-bound umbrella, but no further major additions were made to this exclusive group (besides companion versions of Bilbo, such as Bilbo, Aged Ring-bearer (13R142)
).
In general, the primary game impact of Ring-bound is to dodge potent effects that only work on unbound characters, such as Gríma, Wormtongue (4R154)
. There are however many 
Gollum, 
Gondor, and 
Shire Free Peoples cards which benefit Ring-bound companions, and several notable 
Raider, 
Sauron, and Gollum Shadow cards which target them.
After the introduction of the keyword, it was retroactively ruled that all copies of Frodo and Sam would have the Ring-bound keyword applied, even if it wasn't in the text. This was applied as a rule instead of a mass errata for whatever reason. In addition, Alternate Ring-bearers are also ruled to always be Ring-bound so long as they are acting as the Ring-bearer--a distinction which does actually make sense as those companions can be included as a non-Ring-bearer companion, and in those cases they are usually unbound.
Only companions can be Ring-bound (or unbound for that matter), meaning that Allies never interact with these keywords.
Rules Entries
Only companions can be Ring-bound (not allies or minions). All versions of Frodo and Sam are Ring-bound.
- Ring-bound section
Your fellowship begins with a character bearing The One Ring. This can be any character with the ringed resistance icon, or any version of Frodo. That character gains the keywords Ring-bearer and Ring-bound, if he does not already have them.

Frodo and Sam
Every copy of Frodo and Sam has the Ring-bound keyword, even if it's not printed on the card, as is the case for the following cards.

Alternate Ring-bearers
Remember, these only count as Ring-bound if they are actually the Ring-bearer. If that is not the case, then these cards default to being unbound.
