40hd Great Red Wyrm.
Metabreath Feats:
Heighten Breath Weapon
Maximize Breath Weapon
Clinging Breath Weapon
Enlarge Breath Weapon
Tempest Breath

Metabreath spells:
Breath Weapon Admixture
Deafening Breath

Items:
Metamagic rod Quicken, Greater

How it works:
Metabreath feats explicitly stack, by adding to the delay of using the breath weapon.

Heighten spell: add a round to the delay, increase the DC by one. As you can see, this gets absurd, quickly. For a ten minute delay, you get +100 to the DC.

Clinging breath:
Add 1 round, your breath weapon hangs out and deals 1/2 the damage it did last round. Allows saves.

Maximize breath:
240 damage from that great red wyrm. Add a few rounds.

Enlarge Breath Weapon:
Add a round, add 20 feat.

Tempest breath weapon:
Creatures hit by a colossal creature's breath weapon are hit by tornado force winds. Add a round


Spells:
Energy admixture adds 24d10 of another elemental damage type to the breath weapon.

Deafening Breath weapon adds 24d10 sonic damage and permanently deafens anyone who fails a fortitude save.

Putting it together:
To affect a 10,000 mile diameter circle with a breath weapon, it would take (5280 ft/mile x 10,000 miles -70ft)/20 feet = number of applications of enlarge breath = number of rounds
= 91 days and some odd hours delay.

Add maximize, tempest, clinging (say, a minutes wort) and heighten (+100 DC), and every 92 days you can blast a 78.5 million square mile area with tornado force winds and 1400+ damage over 6 or so rounds (1/3 fire, sonic, and any other element of your choosing typed damage), and a virtually unbeatable save.

For every additional 3 months you're willing to forgo the use of your breath weapon, you can tack another 10,000 miles onto the diameter of that breath weapon.

So, he is burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants.

I fear for the thatched roofed cottages also...

So, is this an existing monster?

And all it takes is a prismatic spell to stop Trogdor. Clearly, the mighty have fallen.

For what, like a couple square feat of adventurers? Or is everything encased in prismatic wards these days?

It depends. Would you consider this field of fire a whole?

That particular feat specifies a maximum increase of up to the dragon's Con modifier.

For that matter, the general description of metabreath feats says that metabreath feats that stack with themselves will specifically say so under the Special section. The only feats that have this disclaimer are Clinging Breath and Lingering Breath.

Despite Enlarge Breath being used as the example. Technically, their example is plain wrong. Funny, that.

Personally I found this (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/view.php?id=35702) to be more indicative of what Strongbad envisioned.

Wait - so couldn't a, let's say a great wyrm Shadow Dragon....who was very Ancient and about to die....

Couldn't he, just before dying, apply Lingering Breath an *infinite* number of times? In fact, couldn't he apply all of the other Metabreaths to it as well, just once each?

Let's see, the base would be.. what, a 60' cone?

+n Lingering Breath

Chuck, the Ruby Knight Windicator can burninate large countries with Ring of Fire in a nasty way. Not quite the 1400+ damage of the dragon, but 12d6 fire to an entire country in a single round is pretty impressive.
