Improved Dragonborn Breath Weapon
baldurs-gate-3 — Mods & Enhancements
This mod improves the Dragonborn breath weapon in Baldur's Gate 3, allowing it to be used a number of times per short rest equal to your proficiency bonus (starting at 2), usable as part of Extra Attack (once per turn), and with damage that scales with level like a cantrip. It's a quality-of-life tweak for Dragonborn players who want a more viable racial ability.
