+  * **Success**:  The target takes 2d6 damage of the selected type.
+  * **Failure**:  The target takes 6d6 damage of the selected type.

+  * Increase the area to a Close Blast 5 or a Line 15;
+  * Increase the damage dice to d10s (though the Breath Weapon damage dice cannot recharge the Breath Weapon);
+  * The breath weapon recharges on a natural 1 or 2;
+  * The TN of the saving throw is increased by two;
+  * The breath weapon damage becomes [[unbound:conditions:ongoing|Ongoing]], but is reduced one die size.
+Each upgrade may only be selected once.
+===== Additional Notes =====
+If Thunder is selected as the damage type for the Breath Weapon, it takes the form of a powerful roar, rather than a breath weapon.
+If Mental damage is selected as the damage type, it takes the form of a psychic attack.
+If this feature is added to a foe at Level 3, or if the foe is an Undead of any sort, they may select Entropic as the damage type.
+If the Breath Weapon's damage type is Poison, and the Ongoing upgrade has been selected, the creature becomes [[unbound:conditions:poisoned|Poisoned]], rather than taking Ongoing damage.  The die value remains the same as though it were Ongoing.
