@mikemearls many people complain about the Dragonborn being underpowered. If u knew that when writing, how would u have designed them? #DnD

Not sure I see them as underpowered. They might not come with as many total abilities but it's hard to argue with breathing fire. #wotcstaff https://t.co/29Onvdfnc0

Or the first!

Have you guys considered reverting draconic breath weapons to the 2nd edition versions? Damage equal to hit points.

It's a winner.

I actually really like that mechanic – makes whittling away the dragon's hit points dramatic

Now wait just a minute. Did you play it as CURRENT hit points? Yeah, pretty sure that's the role, though if it was max i'm not sure how any party of that vintage doesn't die horribly

I play in a game a lot recently with a red dragon oath breaker paladin, pretty powerful at level 6. Breath weapon less often but fun impact
