Scalespray

Sleeping on a cold stone floor or rolling around on a pile of treasure is rough on the hide. The frequent pokes and prods from weapons, stalagmites, and the remains of yesterday 's armored lunch often cause a dragon's layered scales to become loose and fall off in places. And that says nothing for the coins, gems, and the occasional halfling thief mashed up in there! Scalespray takes advantage of this condition by hurling the loosened scales, gems, coins, bones, and so forth away from the dragon's body as missile weapons. When the spell is cast, all creatures in the area of effect are showered with these projectiles, suffering 1d6 points of damage per age category of the dragon to a maximum of 10d6. A saving throw vs. breath weapon reduces the damage by half.

This spell does not see as much use as might be expected, since many dragons like the idea of having bits of treasure stuck to their hides—it makes them look more impressive. Thus, the spell's usefulness is often outweighed by the dragon's own vanity.
