Group of enemies? Fireball

Single enemy? Fireball.

Wall? Fireball

Friendly NPC? You better believe it's Fireball
- Overcook / undercook.
  
  Let's be honest: mostly overcook. Because of Fireball.
  
  Overcook
  
  Well done
- We have the best dungeons in the world. Because of fireball.
- Even when facing fire elementals or dragons?
- How many long rests are you taking every day?
Me and the boys deleting a monster:
- D&D, where the only winning move is to not play at all.
"Crap. Did anybody slot Magic Missile? Anybody? Oh come on!"
- I mean fireball doesn't miss either
  
  It can't miss, but it can do half damage.
I'm playing a wizard in one of my current campaigns, and when we hit level 5 I started writing my PC's will.
- You should be saving for a preemptive True Res. Only 10,000 gp
  
  Wait, can you pay that in advance? Like a divine IOU? A signed card from your deity, reading "get out of death free?"
- "What is my purpose?"
  
  "You werf flammen."
  
  "Oh my god."
Whenever I have a problem, I chuck a fireball at it, and BOOM! I have a different problem.
We've a gnome wizard in our party who focuses on fire magic. Our last combat involved the DM rolling out small groups of minions each round. They were coming out of an airship and stayed grouped up. You bet your ass that gnome spent 3 turns in a row casting 3 fireballs.
Produce flame is one of my cantrips
Fire is fun
I miss Improved Evasion.
