Black Dragon breathes from beneath water?

There's no mention of water breaking line of effect, so it's legality is completely up to the GM.
"And the dragon sweeps its wings forward and then suddenly back to part the waters, in the blink of an eye you see the beauty and magnificence of the horror before, and then your vision is blacked out by a wave of burning acid as the waters surge back to their proper place"
How is that?
How is that?
I agree, although I would probably give the PC the benefits of cover, at least.

I would probably apply a -2 to the dragon's attack simply due to the distortion water can have on images out of the water. Other than that I don't see much problem with it - you can still run away can't you?

I would think water would provide concealment, which doesn't hinder area/close attacks anyways.

Keep in mind that the PCs will want to rain down AoEs and other ranged attacks into the depths as well.
Is there any rule that arrows cannot pierce that water, for example?
As a DM, you will need to decide whether water serves as a negligible, soft, or hard barrier, and then stick to your choice consistently.

There is no rule that they can't pierce the water, but a DM might want to liberally interpret the Aquatic Combat rules in the DMG pg 45 to include arrows shot into water, which would provide a -2 attack roll penalty.

Seems legal but I wouldn't let allow it in my campaign.
It's silly.
