As written, the guidelines could justifiably place it's CR well below 30 if it's expected to deal no damage at all. Expected tactics matter on both the party and the monsters parts.If Bel's fire breath was cut down from a 90 ft cone to a 30 ft cone, for example, it would likely hit fewer targets, and as such, the expected damage would go down a fair bit. However, making it a recharging attack and an action instead of a legendary action would easily justify its current range of 90 ft. Cutting it to a shorter cone and leaving it otherwise unchanged could also work pretty well with the legendary action mechanics. You might be able to go to 40 or 50 ft instead, even.</blockquote>
