This let’s me play as a snarky faery, what’s not to like?
The vampire companion seems interesting. Looking forward to seeing this world developped some more.
Can I just point out that if you have a whole house full of trapped witches, making them brew potions. . and then selling them. . . does not seem to be the best way to get Midas-stinking rich.
Actually, you could say he had a fifty fifty chance of going down a hero, or a golden fool:
According to some accounts, Midas had a son, Lityerses, the demonic reaper of men, but in some variations of the myth he instead had a daughter, Zoë or “life”.
Having a rep as the guy that turned ‘death’ into gold anyone? Oh yeah!
I still wonder how he managed to eat or drink if everything he touched turned to gold. I’d say anyone with those powers would be dead within three days.
There’s not a whole lot of nutritional value to it, so they’d still starve. (and if they were a glutton be super heavy because of all the gold in their intestines)
You do realize that ‘touch’ also includes the mouth and even the esophagus, right? All food, no matter how carefully fed will at one time touch such a person’s body somewhere.
