[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9051356, member: 7035894"] Currently running two campaigns: 1. Druid, Artificer, Barbarian, Monk 2. Bard, Barbarian, Monk, Cleric, Fighter Clearly monks and barbarians are OP. On a serious note, that second party is stupidly tanky; it's a bit frustrating because I am having trouble building proper encounters for them. Not used to a party that willing, nay eager, to take a punch in the face and they keep mowing down my BBEGs. Clearly I need to be more inventive; I welcome suggestions. Edit: Actually, the first party is basically all tanks, too, now I think about it. Yeah, I need to freshen up my encounter building because I am failing. Edit 2: the poll is weird because it doesn't take into account party size. I looked at my campaigns from the past three years on DnDBeyond (17 campaigns, total, averaging 5.5 players) and the ratio of (more or less) full caster (warlock, druid, cleric, bard, sorcerer) to (more or less) other classes is just under 3:5 (so roughly 40%), though since a lot of players take a dip, I am just looking at primary class (i.e. I am counting a warlock 9 paladin 5 as a warlock). The number of single-classed characters obviously went down as the campaigns levelled up, but there is not a noticeable bias in favour of multi-classing for players who start with a fighter as opposed to any other class. Monk is the only class that did not have a single instance of multi-classing. Fighter and rogue are the most popular dip classes in my sample; quite a few players seem to have been chasing that sweet, sweet action surge, and they apparently think sneak attack and cunning action are better than I do.
