Shad movement speed in Chapter 2

I noticed that Shad are listed as having a base movement speed of 50' in chapter 2. Does anyone know if this is intended, or is it a typo of 20' (which would be the usual for a small creature)?

Hmmm. I'd always assumed that the 50' movement speed was just because they were fast little tree-dwelling rodentish critters. I suppose it could be a typo. I'd be more willing to think it was intentional if they had an LA, but they're the only new race in the PSCS without one.

It also unbalances them. Shad as written are really good. A bit too good for ECL 0, n fact. In my game, I mandated that my Shad player had to have a 30 ft move speed for balance reasons. I wholeheartedly suggest we make that change official.

In Denizens of the Inner Planes, the PDF that Seraph of Babel and Nemui wrote, their speed is 30 ft.

Hm, I do believe that's a typo, though one that is really old. It should be 30 ft.
