1) Does the One Ring count as a "Ring" in the sense that you cannot play an artifact Ring on the Ringbearer?

2) Does Steward’s Tomb negate cards such as Cavern Denizen? Is there a difference between "cannot take wounds" and "preventing" wounds?

To your first question, no the One Ring does not count as a normal, artifact
ring. I don’t know about the second question though.

Yes there is. If he cannot take wounds that means there is nothing to prevent. So Cavern Denizen can’t get wounds even on Steward’s Tomb.

It has to do with whether wounds can be assigned.

A character who "cannot / may not take wounds" can’t have wounds assigned to that character. For example if you have two Uruk-hai in play who are faced with archery fire, and one is bearing Broad-bladed Sword, you’d have no choice but to assign the wounds to the other Uruk-hai.

A card that "prevents wounds" means wounds can still be assigned to a character, but they fizzle. For example if you discard Gimli’s Helm and threat wounds are triggered during a skirmish, you can assign all the wounds to him, and he won’t be wounded.

That makes a lot of sense. Ingenious use for Gimli’s Helm! Twisted Evil

I’m not 100% sure about Gimli’s Helm. I think there’s a ruling regarding Boromir, BoC, that if all wounds to him are prevented, he can’t be wounded and must instead have 3 burdens added.

I really dont feel like trying to find the subtle wording that makes these rules seperate but gimlis helm does work as above CG. But you are right about BoC.

Yeah, preventing wounds means even though they’re assigned to Boromir, he isn’t actually wounded. So he’d have to take burdens instead.
