Five Thirty Eight niche is using statistics to analyze sports and politics. But occasionally they turn their attention other topics.

Just not those are not hard pc numbers but pcs per hundred thousand. The article gives no clue about user numbers. They're basically percentages with the decimal points.
ReplyDeleteThose are only the ones using the free version. If you are using a custom race or a nonstandard class it won't pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish there was such a tool for other versions. I dont think there is enough of a market for one though. I should dearly like to know if my 1e gnome fighter is "normal" or "rare." Is his alignment normal or rare? Is his weapon choice normal or rare? And so forth!
Considering that I'm playing a Halfling Artificer (from Unearthed Arcana), I'd say mine must be pretty rare.
