User blog:An Advocate for Manga/Scaling of Ratings (for both Investigators and Ghouls)

Hello all. What this blog is going to for is something I already see many people labelling as "pointless" or "excess work", but I am doing this for those who will look deep enough into a Ghoul's capabilities to point of questioning "Why are they rated this?" or "How are these 2 the same rating, but different in capabilities?". Things like that, so here it is. I hope its worth the effort, as someone I was discussing this with found this to be a very practical method.

I would like to clarify what would fall under what category. For Activity, it would be the activity the Ghoul participates in, or influences. This would mean that a ghoul thats never been seen, but only heard of can theoretically be a 5 or so in this area. For Strength, I would register their rating in this area based on their Physical strength, and the force of their Kagune (if gaugable). For Speed, I'd gauge their speed and reaction time. For Intelligence, witts and I suppose experience (pending their individual cases). For Skill, I'd register their all around fighting skill; whether it be basic combat, their Kagune, or capabilities with a weapon or tool. Finally, for Stamina, I would use this to register their actual stamina, endurance, and regenerative abilities.

For areas that can't be cleared up completely, a simple "~" would be applied to the presumed number. This will lead to nearly every Ghoul to be rated without complete certainty. This leads to the rating being in a similar situation if it seems they are close enough to their succeeding or preceeding rank.

Adult Ghoul Averages:  The averages are:  (Activity. Strength. Speed. Intel. Skill. Stamina. Total)

Ukaku- / 2.5 / 3.5 / 5 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 3.5 \ 23.5 \

Koukaku- / 2.5 / 5 / 4 / 4 / 4 / 4.5 \ 24 \ 

Rinkaku- / 2.5 / 4 / 4 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 5 \ 24.5 \

Bikaku- / 2.5 / 4 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 / 4.5 \ 24.5 \

Leaving the average adult Ghoul at just the edge of a C rating.

 Rating Score (Activity and/or combining of stats may vary rating)

SSS= 51-60

SS= 45-50.5

S= 37-44.5

A= 30-36.5

B= 25-29.5

C= 0-24.5



 The average human would be: (Strength. Speed. Intel. Skill. Stamina. Total)

/ 0.5-1 / 0.5-1 / 4.5 / 1.5 / 2 \ 9-10 \

The average Investigator would be:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;margin-bottom:0px!important;">/ 2 / 2.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5 \ 21 \

<p class="MsoNormal">Special Class= 35-50

<p class="MsoNormal">Associate Special Class= 32-34.5

<p class="MsoNormal">First Class= 28-31.5

<p class="MsoNormal">Rank One= 25-27.5

<p class="MsoNormal">Rank Two= 21-24.5

<p class="MsoNormal">

Rank Three (Not including "special cases" like Juzo, Arima, or the Q's)= 18-20.5

I can understand that this is very extensive, and unneccessary to an extent, but I have asked questions that have led me here, and have always been good at math, so I decided to do this. I intend on releasing another blog in coalation with this one, covering some actual estimates of Ghouls and Investigators within the series at specific times to help get a better understanding of this scale. Feedback please. I'd like to make this work regardless of how illegitimate its going to be treated by some users. Consider me the obsessive over-analyzer of this wiki.
