Going by those numbers, only humans are common.Human 45Half-Elf 9Tiefling 8Gnome 8Elf 6Dwarf 3Bariaur 2Githzerai 1Half-Orc 1Halfling 1Weretiger 1Werejaguar 1Werebear 1Werewolf 1Centaur 2Ogre Mage 1Adamantite Dragon 1Firbolg 1Selkie 1Hill Giant 1Gehreleth 2Orc 1Lupinal 1Ultroloth 2Frost Giant 1Half-Ogre 1Arcane 1Ursinal 1Night Hag 1</blockquote>
