Bilbo, BoTB

Does Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled allow you to play a tale from your draw deck, or only from your hand. The text doesn't specify, so I would assume from hand, but that seems pretty pointless.

I'm pretty sure it only allows stuff to be played from hand.  It's not the best ring-bearer out there, unless you happen to be Nappy.

It's just from your hand.  My favorite use of the ability is There and Back Again (for double move).  Even without the ability, the option to have an 8 strength ringbearer that can't take wounds (except during the archery phase) can be pretty cool.

from my understanding you can't use Bilbo's text to play an event (even though it is a tale) out of phase. Bilbo's text is for regroup and the event is a skirmish event. I do remember somewhere this was discussed with it being cited from the rules.

Decided to find the post for you to back up the statement. Here is the link and it was backed up by a member getting the ruling from a rulebook.
