Sure, you might have developed a mental idea that is coherent to you, but other people probably do not agree. That is why it is crap way to deliver the information. Like I said earlier:Now I understand some GMs might like MM to have quick shorthand to give them an idea how a monster would behave. Alignment doesn't do that. Or it might for some people, but that is just a Rorschach test, no actual useful information is being conveyed. Things like 'Xenophobic and Territorial,' 'Unscrupulous and Greedy' or 'Aggressive and Hungry' are just as short and instantly tell me much more about how a creature would behave than the alignment ever could.</blockquote>
