Rating System
From D&D Wiki
(Redirected from Balance System)
Overview[edit]
A rating is an average of user grades for a page, each on a scale of 0-5 in four separate categories (Power, Wording, Formatting, and Flavor respectively). The scores on these categories are then added together for a total number out of 20. A rating for example, may be 17/20, 8.5/20, or even 0/20, though each time a user ranks a class that user should use a whole number score (i.e. no fractions or decimals; these will only be created when multiple ratings on a page are averaged).
Numbers and What they Mean[edit]
| # | Power | Wording | Formatting | Flavor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Overpowered to the point that it makes your character invincible. Alternately, underpowered to the point that it makes your character completely worthless. | The wording makes no sense. The class is mostly gibberish. | The class is written in completely plain text with no text emphasis at all. | There is no flavor associated with this class. It is just a set of statistics. |
| 1 | The class is completely overpowered or underpowered. | Almost every sentence has spelling and grammar errors. Most abilities do not make sense. | Emphasis such as bolding and italics are used, but there is a clear lack of organization and no tables used. | There is a discernible role for this class in a play setting, but not much information about it. |
| 2 | The class has a few balanced abilities, but is mostly overpowered or underpowered. | There are many spelling and grammar errors. Most abilities are very unclear. | Emphasis is used, plus headings are used. Tables are not used and organization could be improved. | There is very little information about the class, but the idea behind the class is developed. |
| 3 | There are some sizable balance issues. | There are occasional spelling and grammar errors. Several abilities are unclear. | Tables are used, but there are errors in the table and/or the organization of the page is confusing. | There are several good tidbits of information about the class, but it needs fleshing out. |
| 4 | Just needs some tweaking to be balanced. | There are a few spelling and grammar errors. A few abilities are unclear. | The page is well formatted but not linked. | The class has a good background, but needs some tweaking. |
| 5 | Well balanced. | There are no spelling or grammar errors. Abilities are clearly worded. | The formatting for the page is stellar. | The class has a good role in the game and integrates well into a setting. The flavor is well thought out. |
