Breath
Breath is a temporary condition which lets you know that your character is unable to use any of a variety of oral attacks. It essentially functions as a cool-down timer, preventing you from abusing certain powerful abilities. This includes the following:
- Breath attacks gained through playing a level 7+ draconian or having appropriate mutations
- Poison Spit attacks gained by playing a naga or having the appropriate mutation
- Zin's Recite ability
This condition occurs immediately after successfully using of any of these abilities or after getting struck with curare needles, and can be cured through either quaffing a potion of restore abilities or by waiting for several turns. A failed attempt to use one of these abilities does not cause the breath condition.
