Eowyn, upon observing Faramir for the first time, claimed that no Rider of Rohan could match him in battle.^[1] This would put him above even the likes of Éomer, who was one of only three warriors to come out of The Battle of the Pelennor Fields unscathed in large part due to his might and skill)^[2], Longevity (As a Dúnedan of Gondor, Faramir's blessings enabled him to live to the age of 120 years of age before he died of natural causes,^[3][4] Moreover, similar to Aragorn and other Faithful Dúnedain/Númenóreans, Faramir likely remained in his physical prime until his death as his kind are capable of relinquishing their lives upon sensing the coming of their physical aging and withering into senility)^[5],Blessed (Unlike his brother Boromir, Faramir's Númenórean blessings ran almost true in him, this naturally grants him the presence of several blessings alongside longevity)^[6], with the abilities of Enhanced Senses, Empathic Manipulation, Regeneration (Low), Telepathy, and Resistance to Disease Manipulation (Dúnedain/Númenóreans possessed several blessings alongside their enhanced physiques.^[7] Faramir is noted to be equal to his father Denethor in this regard, with telepathy being directly noted.^[8] Similar to Aragorn, albeit to a lesser degree, Faramir's mere presence is also capable of invoking feelings and emotions within onlookers, with characters such as Sam and Pippin noting the "air" of nobility and "highness" from Faramir)^[8][9], Social Influencing (As a Captain of Gondor, Faramir was incredibly beloved, with both "man and beast" in Gondor following his command with discipline.^[6] This resulted in soldiers openly upon seeing Faramir downed and unresponsive while Beregond, a Citadel guard of Minas Tirith, would even betray Denethor to try and save Faramir)^[6][10], Acausality (Type 2; Changes to the past or future are unable to affect the "Music in being", otherwise referred to as the present)^[11].
