[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8196314, member: 6778210"] Ask the players what they want to learn: a weakness ("Trolls are not intelligent creatures, though they have a low sense of cunning), a strength ("What a troll lacks in intelligence it makes up for with its nose, which it uses to hunt"), an attack ("A troll's claws can cleave a man like a greatsword"), and comparative stats ("A troll is certainly tough, maybe tougher than an ogre but close to a minotaur. What makes them so hard to take down is that regeneration"). Try to avoid direct stats and rely on stuff they may have already encountered as comparisons. Tactics and habits they might use are also good ("A Manticore prefers to stay in the air, using its spikes to strafe unlucky opponents caught in its sights") as well as hinting at things like morale ("Manticores are bullies, and if they put themselves at too much risk they are more likely to fly off and seek easier prey").
