[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 4318584, member: 56725"] Actually I'd say WOTC has taken a Set your phasers to suck principle(yeah SYPTS isn't a cool acronym) with a large amount of oversimplification. What the RAW crowd frequently are trying to do is shake a little bit of suck of there game when the simplification becomes an oversimplification. So what does the player want to do in this situation, oh yeah use his breath weapon in a way so he does not hit the other characters. Totally broken or cool, I'm falling on the cool side of this one. So yeah I'd prefer a reading of the rules that allowed the cool. In my game I'd likely require some kind of stunt check but I have no problem with the premise of trying to make a diamond shape breath weapon. 4e D&D reminds me a lot my opinion of 4e shadowrun a huge change in the system mechanics, which has some great core ideas behind it. And maybe in 5e they will get it right, or Advanced 4e maybe. I'll still play and run both since I do like a lot of the core system premises, but it could be a whole heck of a lot better. [/QUOTE]
