'''Breath of the Dragon.''' Also at 3rd level, you can channel destructive waves of energy, like those created by the dragons you emulate.

Choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison.

At 11th level, the damage of this feature increases to three rolls of your Martial Arts die. | '''Breath of the Dragon.'''
