In RoK, the mithril shirt is also useful to evade orcs torture or even to kill a
whole watchtower :)
"I attack the watchtower, augmented by the darkness, my anger, Sting, the
Elendil flask and the Mithril Shirt ability".
"Wait, you don't have the mithril shirt, it's Frodo's". "Yeah, but orcs will be fighting for it. There, I spend 1 HP to make it happen."
Maybe Frodo's player decided to put some HP in a new 'mithril shirt' ability instead of putting everything in 'willpower'.
