Heel: Fear of success by Pepsi Jedi and Dragon blaze 99
The hero had something in his past that makes him fear success. An abusive parent, lovers that berated him, whatever, to the point he "Knows" he can never succeed, so in the heat of the moment, he somehow self sabotages himself.
System: When the character has just succeed with a major roll they must roll again with a 60% penalty do to the heroes fear of success if the second one succeeds then and only then does it work if the second one fails then it is as if the first failed.
When the character gets the upper hand in combat and has his opponent "on the ropes" he is stuck down with the penalties found under bad karma under the major Karmic Power.
