Greed - METW wrote:Playable on a site. Until the end of the turn, each non-Hobbit, non-Wizard character at the site must make a corruption check each time an item is played at the site. The character playing an item need not make a corruption check. When a character makes one of these corruption checks, it is modified by subtracting the corruption points that the item would normally give the character if he controlled the item. Cannot be duplicated on a given site.

(I'm quoting two versions of text of the card, but I do not see substantial differences between them)

Maybe this is just bothering, but "each non-Hobbit, non-Wizard character at the site" also includes a characters of opponents (using their own copies of the site). Therefore it may be beneficial for a resource player to play an item at a site on which a Greed has been played this turn and force in this way an opponent's characters at the site to make a corruption checks.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

Nice find!
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.
