You and your gear are surrounded by a sizzling heat haze. You gain 5 temporary hit points for the duration.
If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take d6 fire damage. If a creature takes damage in this way, on its next turn it must either use its action to put out the flames or else repeat the save, taking a further d6 fire damage if it fails for the second time.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the temporary hit points increase by 5, and the fire damage increases by d6, for each slot.

Posted Apr 4, 2022This is essentially an element-swapped armor of Agathys but with changes to how the damage component works to further disambiguate it from that spell. Since there is no specific fire layer of Carceri (all of the upper layers are somewhat fiery), I decided to name this one for the primordial Kossuth.
Instead of dealing automatic cold damage, this variant allows a Dexterity save to avoid the damage; while the damage isn't that bad on its own (d6 for an average 3.5 compared to 5 cold) it will deal the same damage again unless the target spends an action, so either forcing an enemy to waste its turn, or dealing more damage overall. There is a little bit of crossover with hellish rebuke, main difference being that rebuke deals more damage both on a failed save (11) or a successful one (5) and can affect enemies at range.
I have also released two other variants of armor of Agathys in armor of Cathrys (poison) and armor of Prophatys (acid).
