The vril is a new goblinoid creature, they even gave it 5 unique racial feats for it and statistics to make it a playable race, but there's no statistics block for it as a monster and, therefore, no where that explains its shifting and shriek ability.
These abilities are actually mentioned in the errata right after the stats block. Which you can find at the link in the next quote.
I must say, I am really, deeply impressed with the rapidity of the reaction this day.
The Vrill has already been errata'ed... : http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20070504a
i has a questtion (i know i spelled that wrong)
what is a vril?
as you said it it sounded like a kind gobling
so why should its statistiks be in a book about drow?
Because in its descriptive text it states that the drow bred these creatures. "Vril are the product of dark elf wizards' experiments over many generations."
Okay I dont have the book but... the stat block confuses me. It says its a small goblinoid. But it's using a medium pick. It has the size bonus to AC and the penalty to grapples, but its hide check is only +2 with a 13 dex and being small?
It probably has powerful build or that should be an appropriately sized weapon. I think it's Skills are a little messed up, As a warrior class it gets 1 rank per level(2+(-1))*6 for three levels=6 skill points.

You should note that Razz was talking about the book, and the errata was posted after he started this thread.

I would guess that the entire Drow Pantheon is discussed, they do have at least three gods/goddesses if not more.

It's an error because you can't make two Stunning Attacks in one round, only once per round. The only way you can is by taking Rapid Stunning feat. Which is not a prerequisite nor is it even in the book as one (it's in Complete Warrior, to be exact).
Again, how is this an error? They wrote a feat, they were even forward thinking enough to consider what would happen if you somehow got more than one stunning fist attack in the same round, this is good open design. There doesn't even need to be rapid stunning for this to be a good idea, it's thinking that the possibility of more than one stunning fist in a round isn't out of the realm of possibility (and in this case, there is a way to do it) so they should cover what happens. I also see no reason to make rapid stunning a prerequisite for the feat as it sounds like it has absolutely nothing to do with hitting someone with a stunning fist more than once, but that the feat was written well enough to clearly cover what happens if you did use that feat.
For that matter, without seeing the rules, is it just as possible for it to be another opponent delivering a stunning fist (with the same feat)?

Just Lolth. In fact there is something to the effect of "other deities in the drow pantheon don't count. Only Lolth."
As for another goof, the drow blackguard (inquisitor?) doesn't have Power Attack or other prereqs for the PrC.
All mistakes aside though, I liked this book. Good stuff.

I agree with Frugal. I don't see why the stunning thing is "errata" as opposed to just "covering all the bases."

I look at it this way, if they hadn't said how it works with multiple stunning fists in the same round then we'd have a pile of people on here complaining about how they use rapid stunning and it doesn't say how it works.

Does anyone know if Future printings of "Drow of the Underdark" will be errated to include the Goblin stat block?

Propably, if they have to print more.
