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."If, again, after ten years, only about a quarter of high level characters at most are multiclassed, then any complaints about multiclassing being broken is something that most tables aren't seeing at all.  Monks, again from the stats we have, are one of the least played classes.  The only class that's played less is a druid.  If monks are breaking the game, not a whole lot of tables have apparently figured this out.So, yeah, this is just theory crafting.  It's not a real problem.</blockquote>
