Metal Skin (Wizard Spell)

This spell transforms the skin of any creature touched into a gleaming steel-hard surface. The spell recipient's Armor Class becomes 2 for the duration of the spell, but the character becomes slow and stiff. The character moves at half his normal movement rate and always acts last in combat. The character's skin is considered ferrous metal for the purpose of spells with magnetic effects. Rusting attacks reduce the Armor Class of the affected area to 10.
The material component for this spell is a small piece of rhinoceros hide swallowed by the caster.
Notes: Common in oriental settings or for alchemists; otherwise very rare.
