Bilbo
Evil players always pass the Ring to you, then learn who you are.
Bilbo snags the Ring from the clutches of evil; just in the nick of time.
- When any evil player passes the Ring, for any reason, it is passed to Bilbo instead. This includes if they pass it at night, if they die, or if a character ability causes them to pass it.
- An evil player may still choose not to pass the Ring, and therefore keep it.
- Evil players always learn who Bilbo is when the Ring is falsely passed to Bilbo. Bilbo should try to bluff having or not having the Ring, and should try to keep town up to speed.
- If Oathbreaker passes the Ring by dying, they count as evil for the purposes of this ability.
When an evil player passes the Ring instead of keeping it, if Bilbo is alive and healthy, they must pass the Ring to Bilbo. Once they have done so, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info card, Bilbo's character token, and point to the Bilbo player that received the Ring. Then, put the Minion back to sleep and mark Bilbo with the NO ABILITY reminder. Inform Bilbo that they bear the Ring.
The Witch-King has the Ring, and tries to pass it to Sauron in order to win the game. The Ring is instead passed to Bilbo, and the Witch-King learns this (and who Bilbo is).
Oathbreaker is alive and dies with the Ring. The Ring is passed immediately to Bilbo, and Oathbreaker learns who Bilbo is.
