D&D 5E (2024) Creating a Robust Ranking Methodology

FrogReaver

The most respectful and polite poster ever
Hi all,
I am trying to create a class ranking system where I primarily take character sheet data and DPR calculations as variables/metrics, normalize those values between 0 and 1, apply weights and obtain a final ranking normalized between 0 and 1.

Here's a screenshot of the current results.

Current Methodology

I would like your thoughts on what variables to include/remove. My current list is below with weights. (though certainly incomplete). I would also like your thoughts on the weights. Community consensus is about the best we can hope for on both.

*Note most of the variables/metrics are values directly lifted from the character sheet or quickly summable from it. Ideally DPR is the most complicated to calculate individual variable/metric used.

Variable/MetricWeight
Full Nova DPR1
Typical Buffed DPR1
Floor (No Resource) DPR1
AC1
HP1
Base Movement.333
Max Movement.333
Movement Type.333
Typical Range1
Initiative1
Total Self Healing (Only).5
Total Healing Others.5


For Movement Type I used the following:

Movement TypeValue
Walk0
Swim0.2
Burrow0.4
Climb0.6
Fly1

Any suggestions or advice given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frogreaver
