VRIL (missed info from Drow of the Underdark) plz Help!

[Gyftomancer]

I was planning to make an encounter using the VRIL goblinoid subrace from Drow of the Underdark (WotC book) but i think that some info is missing from the book.

In the introduction at page 123 the book says that there is an example of a Vril warrior level 3 but i cant find the table with the stats!
More important is that at page 126 under the paragraph Vril as Characters there are the stats of the Vril. It says that Vril have Special Abilities: skinshift, shriek and Weaknesses: light blindness, vulnerability to poison but i cant find the description of those abilities anywhere in the Goblinoid section of the book!

Please can you help? Do you know if there is a web enhachment or errata for this? Or can you find those info in your book? Other books can help me to see how light blindness and vulnerability to poison work but i have no idea for skinshift and shriek...

I believe that this errata section is what you need.

Thank you. Do you know if the vril as a race has any +x CR? Because the example of the 3rd lvl warrior has a 2cr but i think it should have 1cr because the WotC rule says for NPC class levels the CR is -2.

And btw PF says -3?

CR is -1 for NPC classes in 3.5. It is -2 for NPC classes for PF RPG. The CR 2 for a level 3 warrior is correct for 3.5.

Also, for anyone still playing around with Pathfinder Beta, Paizo originally pegged it at CR-2 for creatures with no racial Hit Dice and CR-3 for the NPC classes. But they adjusted that back to CR-1 and CR-2, respectively in the final Pathfinder Core Rulebook.

I still agree with PF Beta. Even with more feats a NPC 8lvl fighter (cr:7) is not as powerfull as the dire bear (cr:7 in 3.5 MM)
