A Feat with humor

This Feat is described on the WOTC site in the Wyrms of the North feature for Balagos.

Lingering Breath [General]

Thanks to expanded lung capacity, your breath weapon lasts longer than most creatures.

Prerequisite: Breath weapon.

Benefit: Each use of your breath weapon lingers until the creature's next turn, and those entering or staying within the area of effect on the second round may take damage (see below). Those using Lingering Breath must decide before breathing that they are using the feat, otherwise the breath weapon acts as normal. Damage done in the second round is reduced by half. For example, a great red wyrm can normally breathe a cone of fire every 1d4+1 rounds doing 24d10 damage. A great red wyrm with the Lingering Breath feat can breath a cone of fire every 1d4+1 rounds that lasts 2 rounds, doing 24d10 damage the first round and 12d10 damage the second round.

Normal: Each use of a breath weapon normally lasts one round.

Thanks to expanded lung capacity, your breath weapon lasts longer than most creatures.

This sentence cracked me up. Balagos' Breath Weapon does 24d10 damage, so yeah, I can see where his breath weapon would last longer than most creatures. They'd be dead the first round before taking the additional 12d10 damage the next round.

Heh. Yeah, maybe they should have put '... than *that* of most creatures" instead
