Five Feats (XVI): Dragons

There are never enough feats, (expecially if you use the Book of Experimental Might feat rules). This is the sixteenth article of 5 feats a week (80 total feats!), some are original feats others are from OGC sources, converting them to AE and editing the feats in an attempt to improve balance and avoid "feats that suck", the idea being "why take this feat when I can take power attack? " *Balance Disclaimer: these feats have not been playtested. Skill Focus is a perfectly balanced feat, it is also boring. These feats are designed to be "cool" first and "balanced" second.

This week I look at what more you can do with dragons even if you have the 3e draconomican, that will leave PCs flabergasted, and remember those PCs with breath weapons can use some of these feats too.
