Breathe Attack Magic or No

Post by Thenick18 »

Title says it all, is a breathe attack considered a magic attack or no? Ex. hydra breathe vs. ethereal.

There is nothing in the rules for Breath weapons in either the BRB or the Dark Elf book that says they would be magical. It's the same deal with the Black Dragon's Egg magical item (which gives the user a Breath attack). Doesn't say it's magical, so it's not magical, although it could be argued either way (though that is for another discussion which has probably already been talked about). As a general rule, anything that would be considered "magical" will clearly say so in its description.

It's as magical as a bolt of a RxB, which is not.

The rules will specifically tell you whether or not it is. Read them and you should be fine.
