I was looking over some domains to try to hang on my creepy monk inquisitor gestalt guy and checked out the Dragon subdomain, as it was rated pretty highly in Bodhi's Inquisitor Guide.
What can one do with the nonlethal gaze attack one gets from the Scalykind domain?
Venomous Stare (Sp): You are a true lord of reptiles, able to induce pain, panic, and confusion with a mere glance, and your mesmerizing eyes can even drive weak creatures into unconsciousness. As a standard action, you can activate a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. This is an active gaze attack that can target a single creature within range. The target must make a Will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier). Those who fail take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage + 1 point for every two cleric levels you possess and are fascinated until the beginning of your next turn. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.
At 4th level, the Dragon domain grants a breath weapon. Besides the Noxious Bite feat and an acidic breath weapon, what can be done to optimize this or at least give it more options?
Dragonbreath (Su)
At 4th level, you may use a breath weapon once per day as a standard action. When you gain this ability, choose acid, cold, fire, or electricity—this determines what kind of damage your breath weapon deals. Once you make this choice, you cannot change it later. Your breath weapon fills a 15-foot cone, and deals 3d6 points of damage—this damage increases by 1d6 points at every even-numbered level you gain beyond 4th level. A creature hit by your dragonbreath attack can attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier) to take half damage. At 9th level, you can use this ability two times per day, and at 1 4th level you can use it three times per day.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and input!
