The monster mechanics are not player-facing. DMs can and do, drastically alter, fudge, or lazily guesstimate the data in the statblock. Often players dont even notice.In other words, even when tweaking the abilities to improve quality for players, the old monster statblock can continue in use as-is. Presumably, future statblock publications will have the recent ability tweaks in mind. But again, players and monsters use different rules anyway. A discrepancy about whether Perception is keying off of Intelligence or Wisdom, is largely inconsequential for a monster that lasts three rounds.</blockquote>
