[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9245803, member: 7030563"] This probably is not relevant. It would only matter if there was a bais in what classes you played and what classes you "messed around with" and there is no evidence such a bias exists. For example if you only play Wizards, but you like to mess around only with fighters then your account would bias the numbers for fighters higher. If a lot of people were doing this it would skew the results and we would need to get into a nuanced discussion of what metric we are really concerned with. As long as your "class preferences" for characters you play are consistent with your "class preferences" for characters you mess around with then this would not be relevant in the statistics. There are many other concerns as well though if you want to look deeper into the data. I never made a character on DND Beyond I did not play at all. However here is a few observations: 1. I played 3 characters from 1 to 20th level using DND Beyond character sheets a Monk, a Fighter and a Wizard (all had multiclass dips, but these were the primary classes). So in terms of game sessions, I have a lot of sessions with these three classes. 2. The most common classes I play are Rangers and Rogues in that order. I have played many more of these characters than Fighters and Monks in particular, many in one-shots but in terms of number of sessions they are probably close to Fighters and Monks and well behind Wizards. 3. How do you count dips. A ton of my characters have a Rogue or Sorcerer dip, while "identifying" as another class. So if you are looking at what my favorite class what is it? Is it Wizard (primary class for most sessions) or Ranger (largest number of characters with this primary class) or Rogue (class appearing most often somewhere on the character sheet)? [/QUOTE]
