Ok, so in the Monster Manual you can read that if a dragon has a cone breath weapon, it is as wide and as tall as it is long. So a 60ft cone of fire is 60ft wide, right?
Wrong.
Because when you look at the area effect templates provided in the DMG, you can clearly see that a 60ft cone is actually 80ft wide at its widest point and, better yet, that happens at the 40ft mark - this is true for both the diagonal and the horizontal template.
Therefore, can anyone think of a solution to reconciling these two conflicting messages?
