Game text includes all the text in the box below the card type line except for helper text, lore, collector's info, and marketing text (such as "DGMA Premier Series – France"). On a site card, this box is located below the image (there is no card type line on a site). On The One Ring cards, there is no box around the game text, but the concept is the same.Any boldfaced keyword that appears in this box (such as Easterling, Fierce, or Defender +1) is game text. Card titles, subtitles, and items on the card type line (card types, races, and classes) are not game text. Exception: On an event card, the word to the right of the card type (such as MANEUVER or SKIRMISH) is game text.Sometimes game text is added to a card by an effect, even though that text is not printed on that card.
Instead, he has a ringed resistance which would make him the Ring-bearer independently of his game text?

Well, rules say that all ring-bearers (and Sams) have Ring-bound, even if it's not printed on the card, right?
He stays the Ring-bearer and thus Ring-bound as well. That's the only way I think you can rule it, especially since it is the ringed resistance ICON rather than text that makes him a potential Ring-bearer in the first place.It's a very nasty way of dropping his resistance to only 5, though.
