Trait Descriptions
Breath Weapon: Dragonborn with this trait have a natural breath weapon mirroring that of their Draconic lineage. The breath weapon is a 15ft cone (Green, Red, or White) or a 30ft line (Black or Blue) wich deals damage based on your draconic lineage. Using this breathweapon costs two actions (a standard action) and deal 1d6 points of energy damage as appropriate (acid for Black or Green, electricity for Blue, fire for Red, cold for White). The damage increases by 1d6 at 3rd level and every three levels beyond that. After using your breath weapon, roll a d6 at the beginning of each round. On a 6, you regain the use of your breath weapon. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to your constitution modifier and the save is CON based (10 + ½ lvl + Con mod)
