I was rummaging around in the PF SRD when I noticed that none of the dragons have a listed frequency (usually 1d4 rounds) next to their breath weapons.

When I checked the breath weapon section, it said that the frequency is usually listed, but I couldn't find it. I did find some other monsters with breath weapon frequency listed, but not dragons.

Can dragons breath at will now? Is the frequency listed somewhere else?

I found it under the second "Breath Weapon" (the one in the Combat section) entry here (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/dragons/dragon). They can use it once every 1d4 rounds.

So its there after all, nice catch.

What a strange place to put it. I know they're trying to save space, but it could at least be linked directly from the monster entry if not placed in it. I'd shudder to think of a DM deciding to run the breath weapon at-will and starts breathing every round, with the players desperately searching for the frequency entry somewhere. Yikes!

That's how most rules discussions should be :smalltongue:
