I try to think up feats for a dragonborne to improve the breath weapon. Thats a bit of balancing as feats are powerful, but the dragonborne should not breath like a dragon and boosting a breath weapon might be also rather powerful. Hence, its a balance question, because it should be comparably useful to +2 stats or other good feats.
Please give you're opinion about the following ideas (no flavor explanations, just meachnics):
Breath Feat 1:
damage dice d6->d10, range doubled, so cone 15ft-> 30ft, line 30 ft-> line 60ft
Breath feat 2 (requires feat 1):
damage dice d10-> d12, recharge 6 on d6 each round and recharge on initiative roll
Breath feat 3:
for metallic based dragonborne:
instead of damaging breath use alternative breath of the respective dragon type with range and dc as your damaging breath type
for chromatic based dragonborne:
whenever you use you're attack option for you're breath attack, you can use in the same turn the frightful presence ability of you're dragon type as a bonus action but with you're breath DC and range 20 ft (for 15ft cones and 30ft lines) or range 40 ft (for 30 ft cones and 60 ft lines)
If you have different ideas or have an idea how to improve or diminish a feat, so that its ok, please say so (though i think none of them is weak enough to justify a +1 to a stat).
