"Grand Scale"? "Dragon Scales"? Ick bad pun! bad pun! (like I'm one to
talk ;)

Hmmm... I would use the stats for normal armor (clothing - security
armor, maybe Milspec if you're feeling particularly generous [and I mean
*real* generous!]) the big thing would be the ability to use the scales
as radicals or whatever (maybe Virgin Telsma or Arcana?) in enchanted
(see grimmy). Ya might want to get some one more familiar with
Enchanting.

Of course, what's another dragon gonna do when he/she sees you walking
down the street wearing kin's skin?
