Hello, I'm not actually sure if this is where I need to put this, so let me know if it goes somewhere else. But I believe I've located an error in the Out of the Abyss sourcebook. Specifically, in Chapter 10: Descent into the Depths, there is a list of demonic encounters for the players to chance upon. The "Shadow Demon" encounter, however, links to the stat sheet for the "shadow", not the "shadow demon". The difference is a CR 1/2 undead vs a CR 4 fiend. Given the relatively high level the players should be at by this time, it seems like the "Shadow Demon" CR 4 statblock is the correct one. I can look it up separately, but if I wasn't doing a lot of alterations to the campaign and was just popping the book open, I'd have ended up with a very underwhelming combat encounter, and I feel like the link should be an easy fix at least. If nothing else, maybe this post will alert some people playing Out of the Abyss to watch for this issue.
