Summary

0011372: Yellow draconian breath targeting is misleading.

Description

Firstly the breath hits the first target in a line, whereas the targeting screen suggests it is smite-targeted, able to go over enemies in front. (In other words this breath weapon uses beam targeting, like flame tongue, but the targeting screen suggests it uses splash smite-targeting.)

Secondly the targeting screen suggests that the glob of acid will reliably hit all 8 tiles around the location targeted when there are enemies there. As far as I can tell the acid glob will only ever hit 1 enemy and doesn't even try to splash as shown.

Notes
(0032056) NormalPerson7 (reporter) 2018-01-27 11:06	The first screenshot shows the targeting screen where i am intentionally targeting the furthest away yak, and the yak adjacent to me does not appear to be getting hit. However, the second screenshot shows the result of the breath, where the front yak is the only yak that got hit.

(0032058) NormalPerson7 (reporter) 2018-01-27 11:24	This seems inconsistent - sometimes it will hit surrounding tiles (but never smite-targeted), but it should display the tiles around as non-guaranteed hits (pale yellow) instead of guaranteed hits (bright yellow).
