The succubus/incubus drawings look like Twilight fan art.
I don't disagree, and yet I'm not entirely sure it's inappropriate.

Do giants have something cool aside from big hits and rocks?
If the goal is to be inclusive, I'm not sure why WotC would favour material that has been mostly out of print for 15 or so years (2nd ed AD&D Planescape) over material that presumably is familiar to a good chunk of the customer base to whom they are hoping to sell (4e).When the source material for a given topic is relatively shallow, I feel it behooves you to consider it all, especially when the intent of the edition of the honor the game's games history, settings, and be more inclusive. The caveat being the exclusion -if absolutely necessary- of sources that either made continuity gaffes out of ignorance or mistake, or since 5e is returning to a version of the Great Wheel cosmology, paying secondary attention to something like the 4e material that IMO is a side-branch of the AD&D family along with Basic D&D and withing a continuity of its own. Incorporate those elements that don't disrupt previous 1e/2e/3e material as that continuity evolved, but by no means feel beholden to it on the same level.

You may regard 4e as a "side-branch" that you prefer to ignore. I think it would be a commercial error for WotC to do the same.
I'm writing an adventure that calls for a shadow fiend of some kind.
Could anyone check the challenge rating on shadow demons for me?
Yeah, I threw a lich into Legacy of the Crystal Shard. He kept on popping up and attacking the adventurers because his phylactery was a ring of protection they took with them. He ended up being the comic relief for how much the smacked around the playtest lich.Daaaaaang. Mouseferatu is right, 5E liches do not screw around. No more of this "11th-level wizard, but more durable" stuff. This guy is CR 21 and boy howdy, does he ever earn that rating.
My players are going to rue the day I get my hands on this book.
Lore is interchangeable. If you don't like what they're doing with it, change it.If the goal is to be inclusive, I'm not sure why WotC would favour material that has been mostly out of print for 15 or so years (2nd ed AD&D Planescape) over material that presumably is familiar to a good chunk of the customer base to whom they are hoping to sell (4e).

Check for yourself, my friend.
