Who's Multiclassing With Who? More D&D Beyond Stats!

D&D Beyond has released yet more stats! We've already seen the most common adventures, classes by tier, and subclasses. This time it's a look at popular multiclass combinations! They use "active characters" which are those not deleted or suspended, and which there is "some reasonable sense that maybe they're played". There was a LOT of data whizzing by very fast in the Twitch stream, so here it is broken down.

It turns out that 11% of level 2+ characters are multiclass and 27% of level 20 characters are multiclass. This varies by class, of course, with the fighter being the most common, with 33% multiclassed at levels 2+ and nearly 40% at level 20.

In the graphics here, the light blue is characters of level 2+, the dark blue is characters of level 20. The fact that you can take more than just two classes means that these won't add up to exactly 100%.

Fighter/Rogue is the most popular combo, followed by Barbarian/Fighter. Warlock/Bard is the least popular.

Up at level 20, the figures differ a little.

Zooming in at the bard, you can see it broken down by level. Level 1 is a popular level as are 3 and 10. The most popular choices for a bard's multi class are the rogue and the warlock.

Monk is next. Level 17 is a milestone, and it multiclasses with rogue, fighter, and barbarian most.

For the barbarian, we have mainly a low level dip, and lots of fighter multiclasses, followed by druid, rogue and monk.

Good job guys! As much as I usually criticize your data methodology and presentation I don't find much if anything to complain about in the above presentation.

I could do without some of the...inaccurate data presentation. Most of the graphs are fine, but the very first one is almost certainly badly constructed: the way the bars are stuck together, it looks like nearly 50% of all Warlocks are multiclassed and over two thirds of all Fighters are. That's...not true. It's not 33.36% and then a further 39.74% of them all, it's 33.36% and then a further (39.74-33.36) =6.38 percentage points. The graph as shown heavily distorts an otherwise very clear data visualization.

Yeah, the first chart is a mess.

Is like whoever made them went nuts in Excel without really knowing the best way to present data.

It is odd, it would make perfect sense if the bars were next to each other instead of stacked.

It's probably already been asked, but can the data nerds in the back get a copy of the data (aggregated or otherwise)?
