What happens when a creature wielding an Aegis of the Raven Queen gets breathed on by a fire-breathing...

I know this looks very similar to this question, but I asked it to indirectly solve what I'm about to ask now (a bad idea).




The Aegis of the Raven Queen (from the module "CCC-BWM-03 A Tale of Two Towers") is a special shield, which does not exist in D&D 5e by default but does exist in Adventurers League play. It has the following passive property:




While holding this shield, nonmagical flames are extinguished within 30 feet of you as the shadow lashes out at the flame.




I also know that breath weapons are considered nonmagical.



What happens when a dragon breathes fire on a creature wielding this special shield?




  1. The breath gets extinguished (and thus doesn't affect the Aegis-wielding creature)

  2. The breath weapon works as normal, since it doesn't really emit "flames" in game terms (and thus the Aegis-wielding creature is forced to make the Dexterity saving throw as normal)

    I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to. Through googling "Aegis of the Raven Queen", I found it listed in this log as being from "CCC-BWM-03 A Tale of Two Towers". The item and its description are shown in the full-size preview.

The dragon's breath is extinguished



A fire-breathing dragon breathes actual fire



If you look at red dragons' breath weapon ability - for instance, a red dragon wyrmling's Fire Breath action - it says:




The dragon exhales fire in a 15-foot cone.




Fire and flame are synonymous, thus if you had some sort of effect that continuously extinguished flame, a dragon's fire breath would also be extinguished.



A dragon's breath is nonmagical



According to the Sage Advice Compendium, which has this to say under "Is the breath weapon of a dragon magical?":




Determining whether a game feature is magical is straightforward. Ask yourself these questions about the feature:




  • Is it a magic item?

  • Is it a spell? Or does it let you create the effects of a spell
    that’s mentioned in its description?

  • Is it a spell attack?

  • Is it fueled by the use of spell slots?

  • Does its description say it’s magical?


If your answer to any of those questions is yes, the feature is magical.




Since a dragon's breath weapon meets none of the guidelines, it is not magical.



Thus, since the breath weapon creates a nonmagical flame, there is no reason why this item would not extinguish it.

    That is definitely pleasing to read. I don't think it will come up in actual play (fire-breathing dragons are rather scarce to encounter, I think), but nice nonetheless.
