 ==History==
-{{CBA|0.32|Draconian breath attacks will be reworked for players:}}
+*In [[0.32]], Draconian breath attacks were reworked. Prior to this version:
-**Breath attacks will be able to store 3 charges and have an XP based recharge system. Draconians will get 2 charges when they reach XL 7.
+**Breath attacks had a cooldown of <code>1 + 1d10 + 1d(30 - [[XL]])</code> turns instead of an XP based recharge system.
-**Breath attacks will no longer have a cooldown.
+**Red Draconians had Breathe Fire, which fired a bolt of flame, and left a flame [[cloud]].
-**Breath attacks will not affect the user, and they are intended to scale better in the late game.
+**White Draconians had Breathe Frost, which fired a bolt of frost which ignored [[AC]] and knocked back creatures.
-**All breaths are adjusted with some being overhauled:
+**Green Draconians had Breathe Noxious Fumes, which spewed noxious fume [[cloud]]s that could [[confuse]] creatures without [[poison resistance]].
-***Red Draconians will get '''Combustion Breath''', which targets a line and causes a [[Fireball]]-like explosion to strike every target in that line.
+**Yellow Draconians had Breathe Acid, which spit a corrosive glob at an enemy, inflicting the [[Corrosion]] status (-8 AC temporarily). This was single target but could splash onto enemies adjacent to the target.
-***Green Draconians will still have '''Novious Breath''', which will have longer-lasting clouds and an XL-based chance to spawn additional clouds along the sides of the beam.
+**Black Draconians had Breathe Lightning, which blasted uncontrollable lightning around them.
-***Pale Draconians will still have '''Steam Breath''', which will deal more initial damage. The density and duration of steam clouds will improve with XL.
+**Pale Draconians had Breathe Steam, which created a bank of [[steam]] clouds.
-***Yellow Draconians will get '''Caustic Breath''', which is a penetrating acid bolt that leaves acidic fog clouds on all unoccupied spaces it passes over.
+**Purple Draconians had Breathe Dispelling Energy, which fired a bolt of [[dispel]]ling energy that ignored AC.
-***Black Draconians will get '''Galvanic Breath''', which is a projectile that does electricity damage to all targets connected to what it hits.
+**Grey Draconians did not have a breath attack.
 *Prior to [[0.31]], purple Draconians could use quicksilver breath on themselves to dispel status effects.
 *Prior to [[0.30]], pale Draconian's steam breath had a cooldown twice as short.
