This spell creates a placing of dragon scales that grow from the priest's epidermis to cover all of the body except the head. The dragon scales give the priest a base AC of 4 or a +2 AC bonus, whichever is better. The spellcaster determines the tint of the dragon scales, but the chosen hue must correspond to that of a chromatic dragon species found in the Realms.

The material components for this spell are the priest's holy symbol and a single dragon scale.

Notes: Granted by the evil dragon god, Tiamat, to human worshipers.
