Description: The dragon breathes fire dealing damage based on the dragon's age. The DC is 15 + (druid level + shifter level)/2 with a 4 point penalty if the dragon does not have 10 shifter levels.
Notes[]
- This ability is intended for shifters in the ancient red dragon form of dragon shape.
- The dragon's age is normally the sum of druid and shifter levels. If used by a creature with neither druid nor shifter levels, the age is character level, halved for player characters.
- Under normal conditions, the minimum effective level for shifters is 15, while the minimum effective level for druids is 18.
- The damage for each age category is given in the following table. (Aside from an anomaly at level 37 and a minimum of 1d10, the damage increases by 2d10 for every 3 levels past 10.) Four more dice are rolled if the caster has at least 10 shifter levels. (Italicized entries are not possible under standard circumstances.)

- The levels for "wyrm" and beyond differ from the normal dragon breath determination.
- Due to a bug, this breath cannot blast placeables or doors although it was intended to.
