[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8298068, member: 22779"] And, frankly, why would someone using D&D Beyond be particularly different from someone using books? When you have a base that large for looking at trends, the extremes get blurred pretty hard. It's not like you get access to every book just because you have a D&D Beyond account. You still need to buy the digital versions of the books you want to use, just like the PnP player. While I accept that the D&D Beyond stats aren't exactly definitive, they're probably the closest thing we'll ever see to larger trends that aren't simply confirmation bias. If there was a huge push for feats, wouldn't that show up on the millions and millions of played character sheets? And, by "played" I mean that the character sheet has been leveled up at least once. If there was a huge push for more magical fighter classes, wouldn't that be reflected by the subclass choices? When Champion Fighters are the top choice, hands down over any other option, even if they aren't the overall majority choice, doesn't that mean that that's what most people are playing? [/QUOTE]
