Fire Breath is a staple of monsters, beasts, demons, and all sorts of creatures, and yet it's inherently locked in with the other fire powers in this game. I'd like the option to make a dragon or a demon or whatever who went around smashing things randomly and could then occasionally let loose with a blast of Fire Breath.
To deal with this, I simply suggest adding Fire Breath as an option to Pyre and Blaze mastery. I don't feel that the overlap with Breath of Fire is such that it would necessarily need to be locked out any more than Fireball would have to be, and I think it would be an important option for those scrappers and tankers running around as half-dragons and demons who don't want the whole slew of fire attacks but just want to be able to breath fire because they're dragons. Flavorwise, Fire Breath fits as your "only" fire attack far better than anything in the current masteries do, as it's most usually seen alone.
Alternatively, a seperate power pool could include Breath of Fire, or a weakened version thereof. In such a power pool I would suggest...
6 - Fire Resistance: Auto Power, 10-15% Fire Resistance (depending on AT)
6 - Fire Spit: Fire Blast, with a variant animation
14 - Breath of Fire: Breath of Fire
20 - Smog: Similar effects to the Smoke power, but a 40 foot cone with the Fire Breath animation.
