Hunt Domain
From Artemis to Diana, Skadi, and Wōden - all gods of the hunt relish the chase. They promote the ideals of a journey: finding a quarry, learning its habits, and finishing it with a swift, precise blow. Clerics of these gods might bless nobles before a hunt, work as mercenaries tracking dangerous monsters through the wilderness, or be employed as scouts within armies. They are adept at finding their prey and, once located, use their magic to ensure they are never outrun. Such priests teach that all useful materials must be harvested and consumed to properly honour a quarry, and to ensure the gods’ blessing during the nextforay into the wilds.

You have a number of uses of this feature equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.- Kill.

The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
