Dragonborn Druids breathe fire in wildshape form?

[keterys]

I'd allow it, whether it was RAW or not. Squirrels breathing fire? Hell yes.

Attack powers are at will, encounter, and daily powers gained at levels 1, 3, 5, 7 etc.

Racial powers are not attack powers. Elven druids can use elven accuracy, dwarf druids can use second wind as a minor action, halfling druids can use second chance, and yes, dragonborn druids can breath dragon breath.

So, just to be clear:

You would also rule that a wildshaped Minotaur Druid (lets say, in panther form) can use Goring Charge:

Goring Charge Minotaur Racial Power​

You charge the enemy and gore it with your horns.​

I am, at present, conflicted. Some powers (e.g. Elven Accuracy) seem to make sense when wildshaped, others (Goring Charge) do not. The breath attack falls somewhere in between - it makes more sense to me than the charge, but not as much as Elven Accuracy.

In the absence of greater clarity, I will probably allow the less plausible powers on the theory that they are part of a balance that includes the more plausible powers and that to deny one implies I should deny all.

But I'm not so sure that is the intent.

Also, on the subject of the minotaur ... the wild shape power doesn't turn you into a specific animal. So, a minotaur that has wildshaped may still have horns of some sort. It could end up not making sense, but requires the person using the open ended flavor of the wild shape to deliberately make it not fit with the flavor of the goring charge.

I would totally allow that. And that's before even considering that players can change the names and flavor of any of their powers, describing it any way they choose. A minotaur player (completely off the wildhsape issue for a second) could describe his goring charge as a flying kick instead. So, double yes; I would allow goring charge in Medium weasel form.

Plus, there's what WalterKovacs mentioned. The wildhsape form chosen could easily have horns . . . or the black panther the minotaur's in the shape of could temporarily grow horns just for the goring charge attack.

Horns on a cat? That's preposterous!?

You win, Sir.
