Out of Game Benefits has two ambiguous points that I've had to rule on as senior GM from time to time.
First is point six - No more than one benefit can be used to affect a single roll. This needs to be "excepted" to say that where someone uses a benefit to affect a roll and then has any other card or ability that allows a reroll that any benefit used on the initial roll still applies (or doesn't, as the case may be). Nit-picking - sure. I'm just tired of being asked the same question time after time ;-)

The other point is for cards vs buttons. The text for the buttons specifically states they may be used to affect an allies roll, the text for the cards does not. This means some DMs allow it (cos it's OK for the buttons) and some don't (cos it doesn't explicitly say it's OK). THis should be clarified one way or the other.
