  • Dragon Breath (Simple vs. MysticDefense): 30: 1d20+1d12+1d10+1d8: The dragon makes a Dragon Breath test and compares the result against the Mystic Defense of each target within the area of effect. All affected targets catch fire, taking damage from the flames equal to the test result, reduced by Physical Armor. Dragon Breath damages and burns items, including armor and weapons. Combustible items are destroyed in short order, while non-combustible items takes damage each round, potentially rendering them useless, though magical items are only affected if the dragon’s Dragon Breath test equals or exceeds the item’s Mystic Defense. Armor and weapons suffer 2 points of item damage each round they are exposed to the flames, with the loss split equally among ratings.
