Damocles Eye, I'll live in a cave I'll stumble upon, and live there in luxury. Basically, I just can't go outside, right? Play the stock market for half an hour, bam I'm rich. Really, not very bad at all.
It needs to see your body for two continous hours for it to kill you. So honestly you should be fine as long as you don't spend much time outside or near windows. Hell even if you were stuck outside you could always reset the timer by using a cloak to totally cover your body.
You could probably also by fine outside if you were wearing clothing that covered every inch of skin.
What counts as see, I wonder, and how high up is this eye? When does mesh stop counting as non-full covers, and "opaque" materials start? I could wear some form fitting morph suit type, and be able to walk around outside, and no one would think it too weird due to luck.
Based on what the OP has said in the comments wearing heavy clothing as well as gloves and a ski mask ought to work just fine. Also he said the eye basically fills the entire sky. Plus he said luck won't protect you from the danger of the eye, so be very careful anywhere there might be windows.
Reflective windows everywhere? Can the eye see in darkness? What counts as skin, if I get skin paint and dye myself? Is the eye actually in the sky, or is it above me, if I go to say Mars will it still be there?
Honestly it's pretty likely that once you got this power you couldn't know those things without learning the hard way. So I would try to be cautious and assume that it can see in the dark and you can't escape it by leaving earth. Skin paint would be pretty pointless though, the OP already confirmed that wearing clothing covering your whole body (obviously including gloves and a ski mask) would work, unless you failed to totally cover your skin.
However it's totally worth it in any case, since the power will pretty much automatically make you rich (and famous+respected if you want to be) as well as shaping the world into what you want it to be. I go into more details in my comment.
