4E Questions and Answers

I guess it makes more sense if you think of the Dragonborn (or whatever) is moving his head about while spewing fire/electricity/etc. Unlike in 3.5, you can't just stand one square in front and one square to the side of the origin and be missed.

Here's a question, since mods will probably merge this with the other thread anyway - as a Dragonborn, do you get to determine what sort of energy your breath weapon does? Or do they all have Fire? Or can you change it up or something?
