Baits are a type of alchemical food made with ingredients specially appealing to draconic creatures, they empower their breath weapons, but come with some side effects. They can be offered as presents, disguised inside cattle or presented directly to some overconfident dragons that may want a challenge.

Breath Weapons

One of the most fearsome abilities dragons have are breath weapons, they can have very widely different shapes and effects, but they usually have Breath in their name, are area effects that cost two actions and cannot be used again in a random number of rounds, but can be recharged by Draconic Momentum or other abilities. In case of doubt, the GM determines what counts as the dragon's breath weapon.
Additionally, any creature can consume bait, but it will only affect dragons with a breath weapon. The GM can choose if an ability possessed by another creature counts as a breath weapon for the requirement of being affected by the bait.

The right kind of bait

Different dragons will require different kinds of bait, as some can provide huge benefits but, for that particular dragon, the downsides can be negligible. In these cases it may seem like the dragon would want to stash these baits and use them as other potions or elixirs, but doing this could plummet the reputation of said dragon, their name being repeated by their mocking kind for ages.
