Geeky musings of the day: In the LOTR books, Numenoreans and their pure blooded descendants are described as being able to discern the hearts and minds of other men, or to a limited degree, discern events happening far away. This is a trait that still shows itself in some Men in the War of the Ring, with Aragorn, Denethor, Imrahil, and Faramir being noted as having this ability. Faramir is also described as being an individual who can gain and command the love and influence of people very easily, as can Aragorn -- as well, Aragorn is a skilled healer (something something "hands of the king") and neither would have survived long as Dunedain Rangers without very good instincts, ie when to duck, when to hide, and very, very good aim.
Headcanon theory: Numenoreans are/were Force Sensitive, and those spoken of as having "the blood of Westernesse" still displayed those Force-using traits. Aragorn and Faramir could have been Jedi!
