rolling a new character for a campaign I ended up rolling a dragonborn sorcerer with a dreadfully low intelligence (-3). so I was thinking. instead of arcane chanting and clever manipulations, the character did everything (read as much as reasonable) as breath weapons.
instead of casting burning hands, the character "breathes fire"
thunder wave becomes "thunderous Roar"
dragon's breath is of course going to be his bread and butter.
somatic components will be as normal after all he is one of those people who can't talk without moving their hands so he'll need a free hand anyway. (subtle spell covers when it doesn't make thematic sense)
the question for the forums,
what spells (doesn't have to be restricted to sorcerer) could be easily re fluffed to breath weapons. I'm looking for fun and flavor here, but not blind to usefulness. "Spitting" a fireball sounds doable, yelling up a forcewall not so much.
edit: sorry for deceptive title. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
