[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9056337, member: 50987"] Now that I think about it, my gaming group (5 players and 1 DM) has almost always featured one Sneak, one Healer, one Mage, and two Warriors. The most popular Sneak is rogue, but we've had a bard once or twice. The least-popular Sneak for my group is the ranger--we've only ever had one, and it was way back in 2002 and we were playing 3rd Edition rules. (And there's an argument to be made on whether the ranger is [I]actually [/I]a sneak, or if it's a warrior...but the player played it as a stealthy hunter-in-the-forest archetype, so I'm going with sneak here.) The most popular Healer is cleric--I've seen dozens of them come and go over the years. To quote my players during Session Zero, "the party isn't a party without a healer." The least-popular choice is probably druid, but we've got a Wildfire Druid in the group now that seems to be doing a pretty good job. (This druid has the Healer feat, and loves to spend his downtime brewing healing potions for the group.) The most popular Mage is wizard, but we've seen all of them at least once over the years: artificers, sorcerers, warlocks, you name it. I think the warlock is my personal favorite, but I'm definitely in the minority with the group. ;) Right now we have an artificer, and it's taking some getting used to....the player is mulling over whether or not he wants to multiclass into wizard. The least-popular Mage at my table is the sorcerer. But getting back to the main topic of this thread: the most popular Warrior is fighter, and it's not even close. There is always a melee warrior and a ranged warrior in the party, and the fighter easily fits both. Right now we have a Musketeer Fighter optimized for ranged combat, and we have a Battle Master fighter that has been optimized for melee. Occasionally we will get barbarians and monks and paladins in the group, but not nearly as common as we get fighters. The least-popular choice for Warrior is probably barbarian, unless you count that one sneaky ranger from 21 years ago. [/QUOTE]
