[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9244373, member: 7023840"] I think that this visualization shows something obvious that most of observe at our tables. Fighters are the most popular. Then the next tier is rogues and barbarians. Then it's everyone else. Which means that the most popular class, easily, along with the next two ... are the non-spellcasting classes. To give context (and I don't have the actual numbers, just looking grokking the gist from the graph), the difference between Fighter (#1) and Wizard (#4) is about the same as the difference between Wizard (#4) and Monk (#12). Again, you can't make absolute statements based on a single data set, but this just continues to show that despite the various theoretical debates people have regarding classes in D&D, it remains the fact that in terms of revealed preferences, people still prefer to hit things. (I would also add that as a mark against all the old school traditionalists, while a person can point out that the races could be summed up as "Human, then Elf, then everyone else ... the fact that Dragonborns and Tieflings are the third and fourth most popular, and notably more popular than any other race ... although half-elf doesn't do too bad ... shows that people have really taken to these options).
