Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Good wandering monster tables come paired with a motivation table which might look like this:

1. Food
2. Mates
3. Loot
4. Fleeing from (roll again on encounter table)
5. Pursuing (roll again...)
6. Enslaved by (roll again)

And while that works really well, I was wondering if we could do better.  So, I thought I'd bring out Marlow's Hierarchy of Needs:

This pyramid summarizes all of the needs of a single human being, increasing in complexity.  The physiological needs must be met before the safety needs can matter, and the safety needs must be satisfied before the love/belonging needs can be addressed, and so on.  What if we turned this into a motivation table for a wandering monster?

1-7: Physiological
8-12: Safety
13-16: Love/belonging
17-19: Esteem
20: Self-Actualization

And then had a subtable for each category:

Roll	Physiological	Safety	Love/Belonging	Esteem
1	Food	Shelter	Mating displays	Accomplishing a great work
2	Getting mates	Shelter	Dealing with children	Accomplishing a great work
3	Getting resources	Getting treasure	Intergroup conflict	Inspiring fear in the enemy
4	Sleep	Destroying enemies	Intergroup conflict	Converting the infidel

So try this on for size, and see how it goes.
