You could consider making it more specialized (something extra that triggers on opportunity attacks or as an immediate action), more effective but a standard action such as by adding conditions, a bonus attack when you crit (similar to the dagger master PP), or any number of other options. Also, it may be worth remembering that minor actions can carry a 1/round tag. For example, it could be a minor 1/round that requires that you miss with a melee attack that round before you use it.Whirlwind Breath presumably doesn't use up the normal breath weapon use? If it did, it should be a minor action, like the normal breath weapon (and possibly just be a feat). The special should also give you the option to increase the radius, not automatically increase it. It seems a little weak for an encounter, otherwise. Consider that a ranger's Dire Wolverine Stance will do, say, 1d10 and include enhancement and feat bonus to damage for instance. I think you could get away with 2d6. Should Empowered Dragonbreath help at all here?Draconic Rage is too weak as a daily (at least, assuming it actually replaces a daily 1 attack power). I'd say you could safely add a die of damage and push 1 straight to the Hit line. Also, you don't need to put 'If you hit' on the 'Hit' line... by definition <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Be aware that the chance to hit with this power is not that great, with no implement or weapon bonus, and no +2/+4/+6 like the racial power gets. It also has no 'Miss'.Dragonspit feels weak, but as a minor action I'm not sure it is. I'd want to take that for a whirl a bit - I could definitely see a class with a strong at-will (like the Ranger) liking it.Elemental Hide - as a reaction, this won't help you against the attack that triggered it I assume you know but maybe not. That plus the sustain minor is interesting. I suspect interrupt would be simpler, but the way you have is very powerful for fights against energy themed creatures... like dragons.Bathed in Fire - Miss on an encounter power is different and interesting. Again, assuming it doesn't use up your dragonbreath and should empowered dragonbreath help?Tail Slap - It seems odd for tails to do 'W' damage, but I'm guessing that's covered. I'd be tempted to go 1W + slide 1, but that's just personal pref, seems good.Dragon Awe - Playtest this puppy a bit, as AoE stun that ignores friendlies is a pretty big deal. My gut is that it's too low level but don't have time to research better.Three Legs Are Better Than Two - This has to be an interrupt... Controlled Glide - This should probably be a Free ActionWzter Breathing - should probably give a +4 bonus. Ignoring cover due to water seems odd for ranged/area attacks just cause you can breath water...Tail Sweep - Cool. Dex to hit and Str to damage is interesting... does make it difficult for fighter/paladin/melee rangers, but very good for brutal scoundrels...Okay, taking a break there, this is a mountain of powers.</blockquote>
