I suggest the tier breakdowns of 5, 11, and 17.2. AC is way off. You need to test a range of the most common AC values at a particular level. AC should be 13-15 at level 5 testing 16-18 for level 11 testing, and 19-21 for level 17 testing.3. Fighting Styles and feats are important. For the Great Wespon fighter, he should be using a greatsword. With the fighting style the weapon damage of the greatsword is 8.333. But the great weapon fighting style also allows you to reroll 1s and 2s for superiority dice. This will give a significant damage edge to the battlemaster. 4. The best use of superiority dice isn't always flat damage, but when it is, it's typically better to use precision with greatweapon master. Being able to turn a 24.3333 damage miss into a hit is a much better use of a superiority die than to add 6.2 damage to a hit. Then there are maneuvers like riposte or commanders strike which add significantly more damage than you would get by spending a single die to enhance a normal attack.5. Typical combat in 5e lasts between 3 and 5 rounds. Also you are supposed to have just two or three combats between short tests. This gives a typical adventuring day of 6-8 combats per day, 2 short rests, and roughly 25 rounds of combat in total.6. The effects of maneuvers can be important. An archer being able to shoot a dragon out of the sky by making it fall prone for example. Or an archer using goading attack to make the BBEG have disadvantage on all attacks against the rest of the party while keeping out of the BBEGs reach himself. The ability to make tactically meaningful choices will have a much higher impact on the outcome of a battle than random spike damage.7. Since the champion has no control of his damage, he cannot burst down choice targets. He also risks overkill. In essence, the champions damage has much less precision so while the average might appear fine, it will often be ineffectiently used. You are just as likely to crit an enemy when he has 5 HP as you are when his HP is full. The problem is scoring a crit on a 5 HP target is mostly useless.</blockquote>
