Greed Domain
Mercenaries, nobles, merchants, and kings, many are gripped with greed. None more so however then the worshipers of the gods presiding over coin and commerce. Clerics of greed value gold and riches to a degree that they believe to be sacred, but others view to be over valued and lacking of ethics and honor. Nevertheless these clerics use their gods persuasive powers to further their own wealth through both fair and unfair trade when necessary.

The creatures must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or expend their reaction moving up to their speed towards the treasure.
