Creature alignment

A cursory analysis of certain creatures will easily reveal that the alignment listed in their stat block only represents the average or most common alignment of these creatures, and does not fully reflect their real alignments:

• Angels in 1E are consistently listed as NG in their stat blocks, despite being described multiple times to be of any good alignment.
• The playable races that also appear as monsters in bestiaries (merfolk, androids, sylphs, among others) are always given a definite alignment, even if in practice NPCs of these races can span the entire grid (and in some cases, said alignment isn't even dominant, especially when it's N).

As it currently stands, some pages are listing the alignment as described in lore (like angel and related pages), and others simply copy it from the stat block without any changes (like lizardfolk). This will most likely need some sort of standardisation (I'm in favour of the first thing). - HTD (talk) 16:17, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I am for only including the alignment if it is an inherent part of their being. This should mostly concern outsiders. Angels are per definition any type of good or they are no longer angels, i think. - Virenerus (talk) 16:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
