Achilles Heel: King Midas Curse

Achilles Heel: King Midas Curse by Dragon blaze 99

King Midas was a very kind man who ruled his kingdom fairly, but he was not one to think very deeply about what he said. One day, while walking in his garden, he saw an elderly satyr asleep in the flowers. Taking pity on the old fellow, King Midas let him go without punishment. When the god Dionysus heard about it, he rewarded King Midas by granting him one wish. The king thought for only a second and then said I wish for everything I touch to turn to gold." And so it was.
The beautiful flowers in his garden turned toward the sun for light, but when Midas approached and touched them, they stood rigid and gold. The king grew hungry and thin, for each time he tried to eat, he found that his meal had turned to gold. His lovely daughter, at his loving touch, turned hard and fast to gold. His water, his bed, his clothes, his friends, and eventually the whole palace was turned gold.
King Midas saw that soon his whole kingdom would turn to gold unless he did something right away. He asked Dionysus to turn everything back to the way it had been and take back his golden touch. Because the king was ashamed and very sad, Dionysus took pity on him and granted his request. Instantly, King Midas was poorer that he had been, but richer, he felt, in the things that really count.
The character can turn any non living thing he touches with direct skin contact, the item is worthless with no value (other then a neat item) and is weakened and very fragile, the item is reduced to AR of 5 and 1/3 the normal SDC. Only 4 or 5 lbs are changed every melee action, and can be used as an attack to cause gun to malfunction etc. but it can not be turned off making life hellish. The item will return to normal after 1 year per level of the character. The character or GM chose if effects the hole body or just the hands etc.

This flaw will take a lot of work on the GM’s part and my not be suitable for all gamers.
