Once donned, this skin pulses with occasional bursts of energy the color of flame.

A skin of fiery response answers the first melee or ranged attack made against you in each round with a targeted blast against the attacker. The blast of fire emits from the skin at the start of your next turn, making a ranged touch attack against the attacker if within line of sight and line of effect (up to a maximum distance of 40 feet). You must also be able to identify the source of the attack. For instance, if the attack comes from a foe that is hiding or invisible, the attacker cannot be identified and is not targeted by the effect. The ranged touch attack uses your base attack bonus plus either your Dexterity modifier or the key ability modifier of your highest-level spellcasting class (your choice) and deals 4d6+4 points of fire damage.
