The outcome of this discussion and ruling will be added to the "Unofficial Rulebook".

Discussion #9:

How should Held work with Frodo, Frenzied Fighter?    (previous discussion, previous discussion)

Option 1:
It can be played on Frodo, Frenzied Fighter.  Therefore, whenever Frodo, Frenzied Fighter is about to be killed by a wound, add a burden instead. When the fellowship moves to any site 9, nothing happens since only the Ring-bearer can be corrupted.

Option 2:
It can only be played on a "Ring-bearer" Frodo, since the intent of Held is to avoid having Frodo wear The One Ring, and possibly corrupt him if still bearing Held at any site 9.

Option 1, though I think it's covered already by "Only your Ring-bearer can be corrupted."

[MR. Lurtzy]

Option 1, but no clarification is necessary, as the current rules are clear enough.

[Witchkingx5]

Option 1, seems pretty obvious to me:

"All cards do what they say."

[Thranduil]

Actually this card does do something in my DC sets as the term "corrupted" can apply to any companion with resistance 0. But anyway...

The technical answer here is option 1.

Option 1 it is.  The "Unofficial Rulebook" has been updated.
