Shape Breath

Benefit: The creature can shape the area of effect of its breath weapon as a free action whenever it uses it. If the creature’s base breath weapon is cone-shaped, it can release it in a line twice as long that deals 1-1/2 times the amount of normal damage (where applicable) to a single target due to the concentration of the effect.

Bolding mine. Is it 1-1/2 damage to one creature inside the line, and normal damage to the rest, or is it only one creature that is affected? Does the line stop after hitting one target? The wording seems clear that only one creature is affected, but it seems kinda strange..


bump


If you make it a line, it is a beam that hits one target and stops at that target, dealing 1.5 times the normal damage. The benefit is either when the targets are all too far away or are spread out to make it impossible to hit more than one with a cone.
