Greater Dragons Breath: You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your Dragon ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your Dragon ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d8 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d8 at 6th level, 4d8 at 11th level, and 5d8 at 16th level.
After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or Long Rest.

Dragon's Greed
Dragons covet things or people and for lords this is no different a player or DM selects something that the character covets and must have at all cost even at the lives of their party members or themselves this puts some if not all interactions depending on the item or person, and can and most of the time is a huge strain on the Dragonlord's interactions with the world. -2 to saves involving greed item of choice
