Canonical Errata To Apply

First-Printing Baseline

• Credits: add Andrew Mitchell to Fifth Edition Design Contributions.
• Die Rolls: correct role to roll.
• Intelligence: replace the first sentence and expand the last sentence to clarify what Intelligence does and does not represent.
• Specialist and Knight templates: correct several Ability and Initiative values.
• Combat and tables: fix multiple statistics and formula issues in the combat, books, and advancement sections.
• Character sheet: use the corrected sheet linked from the official errata page.

Later Core Updates Worth Tracking

• Priest, Rogue, Bjornaer, Bonisagus, Jerbiton, Tremere, and Verditius templates all receive substantive corrections in the newer second-printing errata stream.
• Fast Casting, Penetration, Certamen, and Verditius Magic all receive rules-text revisions that are important for play reference.
• Multiple Virtues and Flaws receive wording corrections that affect character creation and laboratory totals.

Notes

Treat the first-printing section as canonical for this local PDF until a later printing is confirmed from the file or cover matter. If a second-printing PDF replaces the local file, rebase this page onto the second-printing section of the official errata.
