The Relative Usefulness Guide was created in an effort to help resolve the problem of giving point values to figures that would accurately denote their worth.

To create this guide I first created a table that listed each Special Ability. I then found out how many figures had each special ability and put that number in the second column. Then I calculated the percentage of figures with each ability from the total number of figures in print and I put this value in the third column. Last, I gave each percentage a value and put this value in the last column. The lowest percentages received a higher value than the most common percentages.

This is the first chart that I constructed:

From this chart I then added the value from the last column to each figure for each click of the Special Ability that it has. For example: If a figure has 2 clicks of Flight and one click of Magic immunity, then I added the value, from the last column, for each click present.

Next, I subtracted two points from each figure for each click that they were Demoralized. I only did this because not all of the figures become demoralized, therefore there must be some penalty when a figure demoralizes.

Last, I took the values that I calculated for each figure and added them to WarLord Shakti's Relative Damage Table.. The final result separates the figures from each other, not only on the basis of their ability to deal damage but also on the value of their Special Abilities.

Some figures, according to the Relative Damage Table, were very good at dealing damage but weren't useful in other respects. While my table cannot relate which abilities make some figures more useful than others, it can separate the strict damage dealers from the more valuable figures.

Here is the guide;
