| − | The Tale of Gil-Galad, and its brethren card The Saga of Elendil, is a unique, vitality-increasing condition. The first to cards to increase vitality in the trading card game, The Tale of Gil-Galad and The Saga of Elendil also offer a skirmish special action text to discard the condition for a strength +2 bonus. Endurance of Dwarves, the [Dwarven] variant, is non-unique, but only provides a strength +1 boost.

| − | The Tale of Gil-Galad is often played on Legolas, Greenleaf, where the added vitality can result in an extra directed wound during the archery phase. That said, counting on The Tale of Gil-Galad, The Saga of Elendil, or Endurance of Dwarves for exertion based special abilities is a risky strategy. Discarding the condition on an exhausted companion means instant death, making cards like Hate and Orc Patrol potentially devastating.
