[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7563393, member: 6880599"] This is what I had stated earlier based on your issues but I am in a rush so its horribly unrefined and not really what you are looking for just a cut and paste. "Most Popular Class/Subclass combinations (Active single class characters including those without subclass, only from players with access to all classes and subclasses)" I will try and get you a real answer when I have time. Edit: I did as requested below, but I go on to explain why I don't think that is the correct direction. "Class Distribution broken down by subclass when applicable (Active Characters)" So a Level 2 fighter is just a "Fighter" but a level 3 fighter would be called by subclass like "Eldritch Knight". However, I don't see the point of looking at this way. Like you said, multi-class characters would be counted twice unless you designate only characters with one class. That said having one for classes then breaking individual classes by subclass on different slides would be more precise. You could then say, Fighters are the most popular class and Champions are the most popular subclass in fighters. If you want to make that more comparable between classes you put a number under the percent. Then you could look at the number of Champions on the Fighter Class chart and compare that to the number of Rogue Thieves if you wanted to make that comparison. Also, you could under the Percent Total # / Non-Multiclass # / Multi-class Number for each listing under fighter and the individual sub classes. That then lets you say, "well yes the standard fighter is on a lot more characters than the champion but is clearly a 2 level dip since they are mostly multi-classes" because the data will be present. In the End I don't think trying to label one slide with all the classes and subclass is a good idea. Looking at your question, it seems to me you could put more useful information on 1 "[B]Class Distribution[/B][I](Active Characters) [/I]" and 12 "[B]X class[/B][B] Distribution by subclass when applicable [/B][I](Active Characters)[/I] " with Total # / Non-Multiclass # / Multi-class Number # under the name and percent.
