	Dragons are powerful creatures of magic and elemental fury. Just as they often seek to improve their magical might, some will focus on that most identifiable of dragon traits: the breath weapon. Those that truly revel in the power of their internal furies often become Breath Masters.

Requirements

To qualify to become a dragon breath master, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Feats: Iron Will, any two metabreath feats

Class Skills

The dragon breath master's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (the Planes) (Int), Listen (Wis), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), and Survival (Wis).

Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.

1st	+0	+0	+2	+2	Bonus metabreath feat
2nd	+1	+0	+3	+3	Bonus metabreath feat, Save DC +1
3rd	+2	+1	+3	+3	Bonus metabreath feat
4th	+3	+1	+4	+4	Breath weapon boost, Save DC +2

Class Features

All of the following are Class Features of the breatah master prestige class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A breath master gains no additional weapon or armor proficiences.
Bonus Metabreath Feat: The character gains a metabreath feat or breath-related feat. He must still meet the feat prerequisites.
Save DC bonus: The value (+1 or +2) is added as a competence bonus to the save DC of the breath weapon.
Breath Weapon Boost (Su): A breath weapon that does damage has the die type increasd by 1 step. For example, a red dragon's breath weapon normally causes d10s of damage. Boosted, it now causes d12s of damage. Breath weapons that cause d12s before becoming a 4th-level dragon breath master instead add +1 point per die of damage.
   This die boost increase also applies to breath weapons that do not cause hit point damage, but instead cause ability damage or inflict negative levels. Any dice are bumped to the next die size.
   Breath weapons that do not cause variable damage, but do have durations, instead have the durations doubled.
   Breath weapons, such as a gorgon's petrifying breath, that do not cause variable damage, nor have durations, instead have their save DC increased by +2 more as a supernatural benefit.

Metabreath Feats
Although the path of the breath master is most often taken up by dragons, it can be taken up by any creature with a breath weapon, such as a gorgon.

For this prestige class, the definition of metabreath feats includes any metabreath feats from the Draconomicon, any breath weapon-related feat from the Dragonlance Campaign Setting and any breath-related feat approved by the GM.

Open Game Content:
The Dragon Breath Master prestige class is declared open game content.

Yes, this is written up as a four level prestige class. Yes, this breaks the WOTC convention of 3, 5 or 10 level prestige classes. Your point is? :-) The four level structure seemed to fit the intent of this class best.
