No stand stats well, stand up to the test when compared to others. To use stands from the same part, Gold Experience has a C in range, while Sticky Fingers has an E despite having the same range.

Should the range of effect that the ability have determine the range, C-Moon would indeed attain an A rank for range(3 km), as should Grateful Dead(GD). Gold Experience would most likely have an A(the brooch with Buccellati during The Mystery of King Crimson), and D4C, Tusk ACT 4, and Made in Heaven would have an ∞.

However that is clearly not the case for both. Strangely, GD has never been seen further than the(assumed) range of 1-2 meters, like most Power Types. A stand such as Aerosmith has a B in range, described as "tens of meters". Since a C in range is(on the long end) estimated to be 30 meters, a B would most likely fall between 30 and 80-100.

[It's worth noting that Stone Free has an unraveled range of ~80 meters]

The following should be taken with a grain of salt, because, as you may know, Araki has a failing memory sometimes, and did not incorporate Stand Stats into Jojo until Vento Aureo. That's most likely why some are so strange.

Hierophant Green can(as shown in the Sun arc) unwind to ~100 meters, and keep going. That's the most probable reason for the A in range it receives. C-Moon has about a(most likely) 50-80(assumed maximum) meter range, thus recieving its B in range. Realistically, GD, by these rules, should have an E in range if the range stat worked as follows:

[These are not my original, I believe an Amino user came up with these, or a set similar]

E= 1-2m    D= 4-8    C= 10-30    B= 30-100    A= 100+

Hope this helped!
