Frodo, Resolute Hobbit (0P27) is a Shire Companion from the Promotional set. Copies were distributed as a The Return of the King Movie Release promotion in December 2003; as the card states, the intent was that players could turn in their ROTK movie ticket for a free booster pack. Controversially, Decipher did not actually create a trade-in program and expected local game stores to foot the bill in the hope of attracting new business.


"They began to call him well-preserved, but unchanged would have been nearer the mark."
This card is a reprint of Frodo, Resolute Hobbit (10P121) . Gameplay is identical to that card, whose strategy article is shown below.
