### Mass Irritation (Su)
An old or older nickel dragon can use this ability twice per day to irritate the skin of living opponents by creating a field of corrosion. The targeted creatures must be within 30 feet per age category and must succeed on a Fortitude save or suffer the listed effects. The nickel dragon can choose from one of the following effects. Itching: The nickel dragon can affect a number of creatures equal to its age category with an intense itching sensation. This itching imposes a -4 penalty on Armor Class and a -2 penalty on attack rolls and Dexterity-based checks for 1d4 rounds. Additionally, an affected creature must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) to cast a spell. An affected creature can spend a full-round action to scratch itself, thereby ending the effect. Rash: The nickel dragon can cause a number of creatures equal to half its age category to break out in red welts that cause severe itching. These welts impose a -1 penalty on Charisma-based checks and a -1 penalty on Dexterity-based checks. Each day, the rash spreads, imposing an additional -1 penalty on Charisma-based checks (to a maximum penalty of -10). The effect is permanent but can be dispelled or removed with a remove disease spell or similar effect.
