DnD character statistics

========================



This is my experiment on doing some stats on DnD characters.



See [here](https://oganm.github.io/dndstats/) for the document



See [here](https://github.com/oganm/dndstats/blob/master/docs/index.Rmd) for the Rmd source code for the document.

## Data access



This dataset is present in 2 forms: in its entirety that includes duplicates

of characters and filtered version that only includes unique characters.



Go [here](docs/charTable.tsv) for the complete data and [here](docs/uniqueTable.tsv) for the filtered one. Both have

the same columns as explained below. The code to generate these tables can be found [here](https://github.com/oganm/dndstats/blob/master/dataProcess.R).



Below are the descriptions of the columns in the files. If you think something you'd be interested

in is missing, you can let me know.



**name:** This column has hashes that represent character names. If the hashes are

the same, that means the names are the same. Real names are removed

to protect character anonymity. Yes D&D characters have rights.



**race:** This is the race field as it come out of the application. It is not really

helpful as subrace and race information all mixed up together and unevenly available.

It also includes some homebrew content. You probably want to use the **processedRace**

column if you are interested in this.



**background:** Background as it comes out of the application.



**date:** Time & date of input. Dates before 2018-04-16 are unreliable as some has accidentally changed

while moving files around.



**class:** Class and level. Different classes are separated by `|` when needed.



**justClass:** Class without level. Different classes are separated by `|` when needed.



**subclass:** Subclasses. Again, separated by `|` when needed.



**level:** Total character level.



**feats:** Feats chosen by character. Separated by `|` when needed.



**HP:** Character HP.



**AC:** Character AC.



**Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha:** ability scores



**alignment:** Alignment free text field. It is a mess, don't touch it. See **processedAlignment**,**good** and **lawful** instead.



**skills:** List of skills with proficiency.  Separated by `|`.



**weapons:** List weapons. Separated by `|`. It is somewhat of a mess as it allows free text inputs. See **processedWeapons**.



**spells:** List of spells and their levels. Spells are separated by `|`s. Each spell has its level next to it

separated by `*`s. This is a huge mess as its a free text field and some users included things like damage dice in them. See **processedSpells**.



**day:** A shortened version of **date**. Only includes day information.



**processedAlignment:** Processed version of the **alignment** column. Way people wrote up their alignments are manually sifted through and assigned to the matching aligmment. First character represents lawfulness (L, N, C), second one goodness (G,N,E). An empty string means alignment wasn't written or unclear.



**good, lawful:** Isolated columns for goodness and lawfulness.



**processedRace:** I have gone through the way **race** column is filled by the app and asigned them to correct

races. If empty, indiciates a homebrew race not natively supported by the app.



**processedSpells:** Formatting is same as the **spells** column but it is cleaned up.  Using string similarity I tried

to match the spells to the full list of spells available in the official publications. The spell is removed if the spell I guessed does not have the correct level or doesn't include all words of the original spell and has too many modifications to be recognizable. It may have a few false matches but it should be mostly fine



**processedWeapons:** Similar to **processedSpells**, **weapons** column is matched to the closest official weapon with some restrictions.



**levelGroup:** splits levels into groups as used in the feat percentage plot. Only present in the filtered data

but easy enough to make on your own.
