As I under stand this. "Subclass Distribution (Active Characters)" for you means "Subclass Distribution (active characters with or without subclass)" to exclude you "Subclass Distribution (active characters with a subclass only)" - I added "only" for as much standardization and to be as specific as possible in attempt to avoid confusion. I know that's not exactly what you said. "Subclass Distribution (Active Characters)" for you means "Subclass Distribution (active characters with subclass only)" to include you "Class Distribution broken down by subclass when applicable (Active Characters)" We can both find both answers... however, my belief that I am correct is based on the point of the slide as written with no implications is "Subclass Distribution". From my prospective, if you don't have a subclass your just talking about a class and implying a greater scale on a slide shown to general audience is counter intuitive. It is my belief that since they have a class slide and they don't list classes without subclass on the subclass slide its it clear to me that D&D Beyond is using my method. I understand your saying they could have use your method, but having a class slide and a subclass slide with classes on it seems redundant. Could they have done it? Absolutely, but it seems incorrect to me by causing the problems your complaining about. They said they are not using your method and kept it to a "it means what it says" without implications train of thought for mass audiences. The assertion of the thread is that it is incorrectly presented, however since we are both able to demonstrate our method works then they could not "win" someone was going to say it was wrong. People looking from your side and people looking from mine. But saying it means exactly what it says no more no less provides them with the ability to reduce confusion as easily as possible. Making this method the better of two correct answers. The better answer being what I am calling correct in this case, even though your method is functional.I do think better than both would be the mentioned: 1 "Class Distribution(Active Characters)" and 12 "X class Distribution by subclass when applicable (Active Characters)" with Total # / Non-Multiclass # / Multi-class Number # under the name and percent. I think looking at these slides requires not inference or implications and due to the high number of low level characters the Class without the subclass would be clearly visible.</blockquote>
