Auromancer (5e Subclass)

Auromancer

Warlock Subclass

A king in the past, guided by his greed and yet very kind, met a suffering man and gave him shelter and care, this man was a great friend and follower of the God Dionysus, the God knowing the kindness of the King to his friend gave him the right to a great request, the King guided by his greed ended up asking that everything he touched become gold, this desire proved to be more evil than it could be, when the King accidentally realized that he could never drink, eat or even see his daughter, for the same turned her into pure gold.

The King begged them to take this power away from him, the Gods realized the genuine repulsion and regret of the King, and so it was done, the King would never turn things into gold again, but still wanting to leave the gift to the King, the Gods gave him the option to control the gold that already existed in the world, King Midas was the first Auromancer and soon became the patron of many others.

An Auromancer does not necessarily have to follow a God connected to greed or avarice, or King Midas himself, Gods connected to Fortune or luck can provide these powers as well or you could have learned theses powers with a Devil or Demon.
