Since it's limited use, it can deal more than 60 damage per round, but for every 2 points above that you must reduce the total damage by 1 for the "off" rounds.Limited use abilities and AoE normally are actions, and are not combined with multiattack and the likeSo for example you could do a breath weapon for 90damage (30 above budget), and then the 3 attacks would do 15 damage each on normal rounds, for a total of 45.Over the course of 3 rounds (the typical and assumed design lenght for combat), it will deal 90+45+45=180, which is exactly like 3x60. Limited use AoE only allow you to "front load" the damage a bit</blockquote>
