## <span style="font-size: 35px">D</span>IABOLIC <span style="font-size: 35px">C</span>ONTRACT 
### <span style="font-size: 27px">P</span>ROSPECTOR

*The gold diggers of hell, the Prospectors serve Mammon, and will go to any length to bring wealth to themselves and their master.*

Mammon is the Lord of Pluton, the City of Greed. While already the richest being in existence he sends his illriggers to scout out yet more wealth for him, whether it be through thievery and subterfuge, or through shows of force and strength.

While his contemporaries may wish to crush him, Mammon seeks to win his endless war against his fellow Lords of Hell, though much more peaceful means. When a Painkiller is sent to defeat attack his armies, he simply smiles and makes them a better deal. After all, anything, anyone, can be bought for the right price.

##### <span style="font-size: 20px">T</span>ENETS OF <span style="font-size: 20px">P</span>ROSPECTION

The Prospectors swear an oath to Mammon when they join the Order of Desolation. The oath commits them to serve only two things, Mammon himself, and the coin.
___
<span class="bold">Greed is Good.</span> Many people may need your help, never give it without a reward.
___
<span class="bold">Everyone has a Price.</span> Everyone has something they want, I will use this reliance to my own ends whenever possible.
___
<span class="bold">Fealty to the Coin.</span> I will follow the money, if my enemy offers more to help them, I'll follow wherever the payout lies.
___
<span class="bold">Death is Cheap.</span> People make more money alive than dead, and those I let live are in my debt. However if my death means more for my Lord. Then it shall be done.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">C</span>ONTRACT WITH <span style="font-size: 20px">M</span>AMMON

Mammon's perfect swindlers must be effective not only in the field of battle, but too in the tavern, making deals over a pint of mead.

<span class="bold">Invoke Authority: Silver Tongue.</span> As an action, you invoke the cunning of Mammon, forcing one creature within 30ft. of you of your choosing to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma Modifier). If the creature isn't hostile it has disadvantage on this roll.

On a failure, the creature becomes charmed by your for 1 hour, until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it, after which time the creature realizes that you used magic to influence its mood and may become hostile.

<span class="bold">Invoke Authority: Bejeweled Blood</span>  As a bonus action, your blood begins to almost glow, sparkling as it catches the light. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to twice your illrigger level.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">A</span>LL THE <span style="font-size: 20px">S</span>IGHT <span style="font-size: 20px">T</span>OUCHES

When you choose Mammon as your archdevil, you learn the spell *alabaster's adjacent acquisition <sup>Arcadia #5</sup>* and can cast spell this a number of times equal to your charisma modifier.

If you do not have Arcadia #5, you can use another spell of a similar level, such as *unseen servant*, instead.

You regain all expended uses of this feature when you complete a short or long rest. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Charisma.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">C</span>OIN <span style="font-size: 20px">F</span>LIP

At 7th level, Mammon gifts you a magical coin that may help, or slightly hinder you. The coin is of course rigged in your favor, the house does always win after all. if you lose this coin before it's used, you may recall it to yourself as an action.

As a bonus action, you flip this coin, issuing a silent challenge to a creature that you can see within 30ft. of you, as you do. The outcome this has depends on the dice roll.

<span class="bold">Heads (even). </span>Your next attack is at advantage, you may reroll one of the dice once, and the opposing creature's next saving throw is at disadvantage.

<span class="bold">Tails (odd). </span>Your next attack is at disadvantage.

Once you use this feature the coin vanishes, reappearing on a short or long rest.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">W</span>HAT'S <span style="font-size: 20px">Y</span>OURS IS <span style="font-size: 20px">M</span>INE

At 9th level, when you place a seal on an enemy, you can attempt to steal one item that it's holding in it's hands. It must succeed a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma Modifier) or have one item it's holding, flung towards you, landing softly at your feet.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">G</span>OLDEN <span style="font-size: 20px">S</span>KIN

At 13th level, you can temporarily draw from the gold reserves of Mammon's horde.  As an action you can coat yourself in gold (or another precious metal) for a minute, granting you +1 to your armor class, and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical sources.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">L</span>APIS <span style="font-size: 20px">L</span>IES

At 17th level, you become immune to the charmed, and frightened conditions, and can add your Charisma modifier to all Insight checks.

You can also cast the spell *zone of truth<sup>PHB</sup>*. When you cast it in this way, you and any creatures of your choice are not affected, and creatures that are affected do not immediately know they're under the spell's effects.

Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot cast it again until you complete a short or long rest.

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">A</span>VARICE <span style="font-size: 20px">I</span>NCARNATE

At 20th level you can use your action to become a gold devil for a minute. During this time you are permanently under the effects of your Golden Skin feature, you can use any spells you've learned through this subclass at will, and the single creature limit on your Spell Stealer Interdict Improvement is removed

#### <span style="font-size: 20px">I</span>NTERDICT <span style="font-size: 20px">I</span>MPROVEMENT

As your prospector levels up, Mammon’s interdiction carries more power.

<span class="bold">Gilded Strike.</span> At 6th level, when the seal is consumed, silver pieces, equal to the necrotic damage dealt, fall to the floor around the stricken enemy.

<span class="bold">My Kill!</span> At 10th level, if you are the one to damage the interdicted creature, causing the seal to be consumed, the attack deals an extra 1d10 necrotic damage. This counts as an extra die of damage from your seal.

<span class="bold">Spell Stealer.</span> At 18th level, when you seal a creature, if it is under the effects of any spells or magical effects, you can choose to duplicate your choice of the effects it's under onto yourself, until the effect ends on the interdicted creature, or the seal is consumed or evaporates.

You can only benefit from this effect on a single interdicted creature at any one time.

## <span style="font-size: 35px">L</span>ORD <span style="font-size: 35px">M</span>IDAS

In the great halls of Tyche, the palace in which Mammon resides, looking over his domain, live many a prospector, each more greedy, more ambitious, than the next. And above them all is Lord Midas, the king of greed.

Lord Midas would make a powerful foe, to any adventuring party, or a powerful ally, for the right price. At the start of combat, Lord Midas uses his Golden Skin feature, shortly followed by his Bejeweled Blood feature, his appearance becoming almost that of a statue with ruby red veins glowing, barely visible beneath his golden skin. Once his defences are up Midas will target those wearing shields, using his Baneful Interdict to place seals on them, and rip away their defences, then hitting them before they have a chance to retrieve their protection.

While more than capable of fighting on his own, he's often accompanied by devils and gem dragons or wyrmlings (see Strongholds & Followers).
