Also in All the Weyrs of Pern they quantify that they can Hold their breath for 10 minutes easily, 15 minutes with major Fatigue

Given their HT, this Sounds like Breath-Holding 4 [8]

Breathe Fire (Innate Attack (Burn) [2d], Jet, +0%; Trigger (Firestone), -20%; Nuisance effect (Firestone/breath Reeks), -5%) [8];

So is ^ enough to to strafe and burn of greenery? (possibly requiring a Wing of Dragons) Considering both Rang and Damage? Considering Oldtimers though they could pull off on planted/logged forrests.

I think you want a Cone or an Area Effect to get whole hexes at a time. Range doesn't have to be particularly long.

The damage should be okay for setting fires. An incendiary attack needs to inflict 10 points of damage to immediately set something like seasoned wood on fire, but there's lots of more-flammable kindling in a forest that would catch fire first, then spread to the trees, so that's fine.

Forgive me if this has already been addressed. I searched for "Extra legs" and did not find the term.

Since the firelizards and Pern dragons are derived from a hexapodal creature (six legs: two wings and 4 legs), shouldn't both write ups have the advantage Exrta-legs (4 legs)?

No just like a Human getting an extra set of wings, This is Covered by Flight (Wings)
