[QUOTE="RavinRay, post: 5017780, member: 16231"] The darkness effect of the breath weapon sounds closest to two betabreath feats in [I]Draconomicon:[/I] [B]Clinging Breath[/B] (breath clings to targets in area of effect for 1 round after initial round for half damage, same Reflex Save DC, may be magically dispelled at same DC); and [B]Lingering Breath[/B] (breath lingers for 1 round after initial round with same shape (cone or line) for half damage, same Reflex Save DC). If the darkness is indeed equivalent to the spell of the same name and can be dispelled magically, this makes the breath more magical than that of other dragons, possibly making it (Sp) rather than (Su). But since the breath is already black to begin with, the darkness should come into effect whether it is magical or not, thus negating the need for the part where the target must miss its Reflex save for the darkness to take effect. The darkness clings to targets that fail the initial Reflex save, and lingers in the area. What do you guys think? [B]Breath Weapon (Su):[/B] An onyx dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of inky, black acid. Targets caught in the cone are also shrouded in darkness as per the spell. The darkness lingers for one additional round per age category of the dragon. Affected creatures must suceed at a Reflex (?) Save (same DC) per round or the darkness clings to them.
