[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7255791, member: 22779"] Because then I'd see endless kvetching about what constitutes "dipping"? I mean, the question gets the right answer doesn't it? People are playing characters with 4 or more levels in a given class, or possibly 4 or more levels in 2 classes. IOW, dipping doesn't appear to be an issue for fighters since the overwhelming majority of people who have responded have at least 4 levels in fighter. Now, perhaps dipping is an issue for druids, monks or barbarians. It's possible I suppose. Or, perhaps those classes just aren't very commonly played. But, we know that fighters are the most popular class. That's been established pretty conclusively. I wondered if that would remain true if we adjusted for level. And, apparently, it is true. Fighters remain the most popular class, even when you discounting dipping. Percentage of levels doesn't really mean anything. A 1/1 fighter/wizard is 50% fighter. So, what are we being told if I ask about percentages? The question I asked answers the question quite clearly, even though I'm not directly asking about fighters, but, rather about all classes. I'm rather baffled why the results are being questioned. I was pretty clear about what I was looking for. The results are clear. What's the problem? Look, if you thought that a better question would give you a clearer result, then go ahead and make your own poll. [/QUOTE]
