Breath is a temporary status effect which prevents your character from using 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:

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.

While monsters are also subject to breath timers after using these abilities, be aware that they recover much faster than player characters.
