### Breath Weapon
|
|
|
|
Dracokin use the power of their draconic ancestory to exhale destructive energy. When a dracokin uses their breath weapon, all creatures in the area must make a saving throw vs. Breath Attacks. A creature takes 2d4 damage on a failed save, half as much on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d4 at 6th level, and 4d4 at 12th. Dracokin may use their breath weapons a number of times per day equal to 1/2 their level, rounded up.
|
|
|
|
### Breath Resistance
|
|
|
|
Dracokin get a +2 to all Saving Throws vs. Breath Attacks of the same type that they can produce.
|
|
|
|
