![]() Draconic Resistance –You gain resistance to your dragon breath type equal to 5 + one half your level.This choice doesn’t override any other benefit your weapon may provide. Draconic Blade – Your weapon gains the damage type of your dragon breath.The benefits of this paragon path are four-fold. The Honourable Blade paragon path is only available to dragonborn who have selected a martial class. The reason for gaining access to the martial role is the paragon path that you will select. If you do select a Warden multi-class into whatever martial class fits best with your idea of the character as soon as possible. However, there is a definite advantage to creating a Warden or Barbarian and starting with the primal power source I will explain more about this choice when I discuss feat selection. The simplest thing to do is select any of the Fighter, Ranger, Rogue or Warlord as your class. A Class ChoiceĪs I’ve mentioned the key to maximizing your dragon breath ability is to gaining access to the martial power source. Whether this is through your initial class choice or multi-classing is up to you. The key to gaining the greatest use out of your dragon breath racial power is to select lightning as the damage type and in some way gain access to the martial role. The build and the various side options explained below are powerful at heroic, devastating at paragon and are simply… well, epic at epic. What we want to do with dragon breath is find a way to maximize its effects and gain the ability to use it multiple times each encounter. I don’t find that to be an efficient use of my resources. One thing I dislike doing is selecting feats and items that are only going to have a one per encounter or less use. The trick is to take that power and exploit it into a game changer. ![]() The attack is a close blast 3 and deals 1d6 + Con damage. Once this decision is made it is permanent, as is the elemental damage type selected. Right out of the gate the dragon breath racial power allows a dragonborn to select either Strength, Constitution or Dexterity as the primary stat used to modify attack rolls. The best part is it can turn a martial character into a strong secondary controller. However, if we take a deeper look at the dragon breath racial ability we realize that it can be taken from an extra action that deals damage and transformed into one of the deadliest attacks available. It gives these characters an extra option during combat and if we’re honest the idea of breathing fire or acid is pretty cool. At first glance it’s a useful and intriguing encounter power that only requires a minor action to use. The Dragonborn’s dragon breath is an interesting power.
