Greed Domain
The Greed Domain turns avarice, theft, cheating and the acquisition of wealth into divine power. Its original published form is D&D 3.0 supplemental material from Book of Vile Darkness; the old page incorrectly labelled that source as 3.5e.

Edition Applicability
The mechanics below originate in D&D 3.0. For a 3.5e campaign, the official conversion guidance changes the old Pick Pocket skill reference to Sleight of Hand; the underlying domain concept and spell list otherwise remain an older supplemental rules package rather than a core 3.5e domain.

How the Greed Domain Plays
Greed is a utility-and-control domain centred on getting into protected places, taking valuable objects and manipulating other creatures into giving up what they possess. Its granted power reinforces the mundane skills that support those goals.
Who Grants the Greed Domain?
Mammon is the source-associated patron. Other powers should receive the domain only when avarice and acquisition are genuinely central to their established identity.

The Greed Domain originates in D&D 3.0’s Book of Vile Darkness. Later 3.5 conversion guidance updates Pick Pocket to Sleight of Hand. This page no longer mislabels the original book as a 3.5e publication.
