I'll admit that I haven't read all comments in this thread. I just wanted to throw in my very quick and simple answer to the question of how Fire Breathing works. It's best to think of Fire Breathing as a two-step process:If a Monster with Fire Breathing attacks (i.e. resolves 1 or more claw results on the dice), the following steps occur:
1) The Monster deals damage to its normal target(s) equal to the number of claws showing.
2) The attacker's "neighbors" (the players sitting to the left and right) each take 1 point of damage. This is "extra" or in addition to any damage they might otherwise be taking, either because the neighbor was also a target of the attack or because of other effects.
Fire Breathing says "when you deal damage", not "when you deal damage to that neighbor".
