[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4717743, member: 65726"] I like the idea. I didn't look through everything but I did look through the lower level powers. Here is some feedback: Create some new keywords to make your text a bit cleaner. 1. DA: Dragonbreath Attack (instead of str+2 or dex+2 or con+2, increase to +4/+6 etc wording) 2. [d]: Dragonbreath damage die 3. [N]: Natural weapon damage die 4. Dragonbreath Type: instead of acid, cold, fire, etc. Snarling Bite: Way too powerful as an at-will power. Add Twin Strike or Dual Strike into the mix, and you could be attacking 4 times a round. Here is a different idea: [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Snarling Bite[/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman] Dragonborn Attack 1[/FONT][/COLOR] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=white]At-will Melee 1[/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=white]Standard Action[/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Target(s): [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman]1 creature.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Attack:[/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman] DA vs. Reflex[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Hit:[/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman] 1[N]. Your next DA attack against the target before the end of your next turn deals an additional [d] damage if it hits.[/FONT][/COLOR] Draconic Rage: Seems a bit weak for a daily. I'd be tempted to make it a close burst 2, and change damage to [d]+Constitution. Dragon Spit: To give you an example of how much simpler this power could look: [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Dragonspit[/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman] Dragonborn Attack 1[/FONT][/COLOR] [I][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=white]You spit of glob of energy at a distant opponent.[/COLOR][/FONT][/I] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Encounter [/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial]● [/FONT][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Dragonbreath Type[/FONT][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Minor Action [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman][B]Ranged 5[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Target(s): [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman]One creature[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Attack: [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman]DA vs. Reflex[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][B][FONT=Times New Roman]Hit: [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman]1[d] + Constitution modifier damage.[/FONT][/COLOR] On a related note, you could make an addendum to this power and similar ranged powers that says if you have Hurl Breath feat, increase range by 5 squares. Elemental Hide: Seems a little too powerful as an encounter power with a sustain. I'd either get rid of the sustain, or make it a daily power. That's about all I have time for at the moment, maybe I'll take a look at the rest later. Hope this was helpful. Edit: Grrr, I don't know why it keeps converting ["D"] to [d]. [/QUOTE]
