You can use your action to exhale destructive energy.

Your draconic ancestry determines the


size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each
creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined
by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier +
your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage
on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th
level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long
rest.

Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per
turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have
advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.

You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it,
that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the
Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.

New products – break-even can be used to predict how many units would
need to be sold, and the business can judge whether this would be realistic
based on their market research
Pricing – break-even can be used to see how different pricing strategies
might affect the break-even point, and the potential profits of a business.
Charging a higher price might increase revenue, and this could lower the
break-even point. However, increases in price can result in lower sales,
which could increase the break-even point.
Costs – break-even can highlight the impact of changes in either fixed or
variable costs. This could help to decide whether to change suppliers
(variable costs), or whether to invest in new premises (fixed costs). If a
business is able to decrease costs then the break-even point will fall.
Production levels – knowing how many units need to be sold in order to
make a profit can help a business to plan production levels. The break-even
level can be used to plan what equipment, and how many staff might be
needed.
 Marketing activities – any marketing activities that involve price reductions
will affect the total revenue received. If successful, such a marketing
campaign may lead to an increase in sales that is sufficient to increase total
revenue. This would lower the break-even point. However, if prices are
reduced and sales fail to increase sufficiently, then total revenue may fall,
resulting in a higher break-even point.
 Changes in costs – the costs used to calculate the break-even point may not
be accurate if they are based on forecasts. Even if they are accurate, there
may be unexpected changes costs, such as the price of raw materials
increasing. Any increase in costs will lead to an increase in the break-even
point.
 Changes in external factors – a change in things beyond the control of a
business can also affect the usefulness of break-even. For example, if a new
competitor launches a better product, the sales and revenue might be lower
than forecasted.

Imagine that you’ve just finished school, gotten a job, worked forty hours all week, and this $1.00
bill represents your whole paycheck. [hold up dollar bill] As your employer, I’m about to hand you
the check, when I stop, tear off 20% like this, give it to Uncle Sam and say, “Here’s my employee’s
income tax.” Then I tear off another 30% like this, give that to him, too, and say, “And here is her
Medicare and Social Security tax.” Finally, I give you this half and say, “Here hard worker, this is
your whole paycheck.” Would that make you angry? That’s your money! Senator Alan Simpson
doesn’t think so. In the last issue of Modern Maturity, he says that unless legislation changes the
Social Security system, 1. our generation will have to pay 20% of our paychecks as income tax,
and 30% as Social Security tax. That means we can only keep 50% of what we earn. Does that
seem fair? But the news gets worse. Remember this 30% [hold up piece of bill] that we paid
Social Security? 2. Well, that won’t be enough money for us to live on when we get to be 65 in the
year 2050. Remember that year, 2050—we’ll get back to that soon. What’s the problem? The
Social Security system can’t insure our financial security. What’s the solution? We have to start
our own savings plans, and the earlier the better. In fact, 3. if we all start saving money as soon
as we get our first paycheck, we all will be able to support ourselves financially in the future
