On July 20, 2005, the NERO Office clarified the use of a platinum coin within the Tyrran Campaign, which equates to 10 gold pieces or 100 silver pieces when used in the game. The platinum piece has a symbol of a shield, a book, and a crown on one side and straight lines on the other, is made of aluminum, and looks very silver-ish.

On January 8, 2003, The National Office issued this 1 of 2 clarifications due to some chapters not adhering to decisions made at the Symposium in September 2002. All new characters will begin at 65 XP (30 Build Points). Any character who did not get the benefit of an advanced starting build past 65XP will be given 65 XP or the difference in XP to make them equal to a starting XP of 65. Joseph Valenti will answer any questions through email.

On January 8, 2003, The National Office issued this 1 of 2 clarifications due to some chapters not adhering to decisions made at the Symposium in September 2002. Spell Incantations and other spoken forms of Effects will be changed to include a number to indicate the magnitude of the effect, if it contains a damage or healing amount. This is a Rule Change, not a Playtest.  The number is part of the incantation of the spell or effect.  A packet may not be thrown before the entirety of the incant is spoken. This Includes any spell Effect that is associated with an unspoken number. 
Example: "<Incantation><damage>", "I call forth a flamebolt. 20"
