Beastmaster was one of the first subclasses for a reason. The fact that we keep hearing people moaning about the underwhelming Ranger mechanics is just proof that people actually really like playing a Ranger-type character and care about having their rules done properly.
The design of their mechanics is just very bad. Rangers are neither weak (damage wise) nor unpopular. The Ranger results don't surprise me much. Perhaps if there were a psychic Monk subclass people would pick them more and start getting ideas for playing them with other combinations. If I wanted to play a character coming from a monk-ish environment I'd probably just play a Monk and pick a different race. On that note psychic powers is still something rare in the DnD world so having a race with natural psychic powers kinda asks for focussing on that aspect a bit more but if I wanted to play a psychic character I'd be much more interested in taking a psychic subclass and using it with one of the races I actually care about playing. Their profile just reads like "basically human psychic monks with a weird nose". Githzerai just don't speak to me at all unfortunately. Ignoring the fact that I have zero interest in playing as an elf whatsoever (Dwarf at heart, sue me ^^), whenever I look through the list of elf types and get to the sea elf I can't help but wonder why not go all the way and play a Triton instead. Thank you for the responses, I hope you liked the results.ĮDIT: Based on the comment by u/Coldfyre_Dusty I made this chart showing the percentage of characters that multiclassed at each level.ĮDIT2: I posted the artificer as the fighter race chart by mistake.
If anyone wants to see the raw data along with my terribly disorganized sheet, here it is. I was most surprised by how many people seem to not care about racial bonuses, lots of races that don't give bonuses to their class' main ability. In general, 26% of characters multiclassed.įinally, these were the most common combinations, no mater which one was the primary. The secondary class pie chart is a lot less balanced, with four classes representing 69% of secondary classes (nice).Īlso, some classes seem to be much more likely to get a multiclass than others. This is the primary class pie chart, It's honestly more balanced than I expected. Chance of being chosen compared to how many give +1 at an ability. This is what I came up with: Chance of being chosen compared to how many give +2 at an ability.
This took me a lot longer than it should because I had trouble with classes that give bonuses in different ways from +2 in one and +1 in another. I also wanted to know how ability bonuses affect player preference. Here are the classes for the seven top races (excluding humans): Dragonborn Half-elf Half-orc High elf Lightfoot halfling Tiefling Wood elf As expected, the Player Handbook's races get a lot more attention than the others. Every race got at least one character expect for sea elves, Shadar-kai, Githzerai and satyrs. I've never had to work with this much data before so it took me longer than expected to sort everything and make the charts but here they are. As of right now, I got the data of 705 characters. So, two days ago I posted this form asking the levels, races and classes of your characters.
