Tyranny

Adapted from SerNurp

The draconian ruler whose word is law, the powerful crime lord who controls a city’s underworld with fear and violence, and the merchant monopolizing crucial commodities all worship at the altar of Tyranny- whether they realize it or not. Those who choose to follow tyrannical deities believe it will strengthen their own authority and power as they seek to dominate the world around them. While clerics of such gods will obey the will of those who are stronger, they will often happily overthrow such rulers or gods for the chance to take dominion for themselves.

Tyrant's Command

1st-level Tyranny Domain feature
You are the embodiment of cruel leadership. As an Action, you command your Allies to attack one creature you can see that dares to stand within 10 feet of you. Any Ally creature who hears your command can choose to obey or disobey your command. If they obey, they can immediately use their Reaction to move 10 feet towards the target creature. Until the end of your next turn, any Ally that obeys your command gains Advantage on Attack Rolls against that creature and Disadvantage on Attack Rolls against all other creatures. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
