    Breathe Steam (16): The dragon turtle breathes out a blast of extremely hot steam, dealing thrust 8d+2 non-incendiary burning damage as large-area injury. This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 15 yards (ST/5). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10). This attack works identically in air and underwater.
