It won't be used and it causes big problems if it is used. Taking all three reactions limits the dragon far more than it adds any flavor. And even with a 40 ft radius, at high levels you might often still have only a single target in that area. Which means that, say if you are dealing with a single melee opponent, you are giving up hitting six targets with charm monster to instead hit one target with an abysmal attack and getting to move. I mean, honestly, Barbarian (who could move up to 60 ft without dashing at this level) rushes the dragon and hits it. Dragon potentially deals zero damage to any enemy and moves 40 ft. Which still leaves it vulnerable to archer fire and mage spells with no counterplay options. If you just have the rend option, now you have two choices from the barbarian's attack, you can hit them with the rend, or cast Charm Monster. Then, if you get hit with an arrow next turn, you can corrosive miasma the group in the back, and then if they blast you with spells, you can corrosive or charm again.</blockquote>
