Revision 2 · Player's Council · 2023-01-11 Collection Info Title Faramir Subtitle Captain of Ithilien Unique Yes Collectible No Set 18 - Treachery & Deceit Rarity R - Rare Card Number 48 Language EN - English Revision 2 (Player's Council) Release Date 2023-01-11 Notes Game text is an erratum. Sharp-eyed readers will note that Faramir himself is a companion with resistance 5 or more, meaning that you can use this ability over and over to no effect. Well, unless there was a card that triggered each time Faramir exerts, which blocks special abilities with impunity. Then it might get a little out of hand. All that has been done is whip the ability's text until it no longer works to target Faramir himself.
