Yes, not only did I select the most common class but the most common race of the class as well.
My initial room also contains a star, a black rug with a gold star woven into it. I also can place a coin on a shelf. I'm leaning towards that, though don't you just expect the DM to say "You place the coin on the shelf. Nothing happens. What did you think would happen, a giant chest of gold would rise up from under the rug for your piddly gold piece donation?"
