    Default Re: 4e Best Dragonborn breath type based on MM

    All done! Acid wins!

    Final results:

    Acid - 14 resistances, 0 immunities, 3 vulnerabilities
    Cold - 14 resistances, 1 immunity, 4 vulnerabilities
    Fire - 66 resistances, 5 immunities, 6 vulnerabilities
    Lightning - 13 resistances, 2 immunities, 0 vulnerabilities
    Poison - 23 resistances, 89 immunities, 0 vulnerabilities

    Scorecard (resistances + immunities - vulnerabilities)
    Acid: 11
    Cold: 11
    Lightning: 15
    Fire: 65
    Poison: 112

    Acid wins in my book because it'd be fun to roleplay and as mentioned you can help take down trolls.

    I also learned as a DM I need to make up some neat monsters with lightning and poison vulnerabilities. And Wizards really needs to balance the immunities a bit more... Or a dragonborn that breathes fire or poison could do 1d8 + con damage instead of 1d6 to help make up for the disproportionate resistances/immunities.

    edit: I have the monster names recorded for each category but I'm not going to post them here, but if you want the list for some reason contact me privately.
