[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 8442595, member: 6906155"] I'm speaking from experience, so you are just wrong about that. Many games, and WotC products, go through the fist couple of training wheels levels quickly. The House of Lament in VGR takes PCs from 1st to 3rd level in about 3 hours, then 4th at the end, after another 2-3 hours play. [I]"The squad of skeletons marches down the passage towards you."[/I] I've seen 12 enemies taken out by a lightning bolt, although you are more likely to get more targets in a cone. Whatever, so long as you can hit more than one, it's better than using your sword. If you have one enemy, use your sword, that's what "situational" means. Here is a tip: don't choose lightning or poison breath. Not all damage types are equal. No DM is going to have you fight damage resistant enemies [I]all day long[/I]. The fighters would get really really pissed off. You are going to want to use your breath weapon several times in the boss fight, and not at all against trash mobs (unless you are in a position to vaporise a small army), which is why PB per long rest is so much better than once per short rest.
