Death Armor

When you cast this spell a black aura erupts from your body, and all who can sense it know it will be painful to attack you. Any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee attack—or any creature that hits you with its own natural weapons or unarmed strike as a melee attack, regardless of distance—suffers 2d8 damage. Beasts and plants are terrified of you and will not attack you unless they are magically compelled to do so. If you die while your death armor is active, your body immediately starts to decay and you are treated as if you have been dead for a whole day.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage the spell deals increases by 1d8 per slot level above 2nd.
