Base Class: Cleric
Gods and Goddesses of the Desire Domain take many forms, but all wield power over the feeling of raw desire, whether it be desire for money, food, fame, love, drugs, and even darker delights. Some deities of this domain are known as Gods and Goddesses of lust or beauty, such as Aphrodite or Freyja. Others are known as deities of wine and hedonism, like Olidammara (Greyhawk) or Dionysus. Some are respected lords of commerce, like Waukeen (Faerun), and others reviled masters of greed and thievery, like The Keeper (Eberron).

Honeyed Words
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn the friends and vicious mockery cantrips, which don't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know.
You also gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Performance, or Persuasion.
Deception Proficiency
You gain proficiency in Deception.
Performance Proficiency
You gain proficiency in Performance.
Persuasion Proficiency
You gain proficiency in Persuasion.
Disarming Presence
Also at 1st level, you gain the ability to hamper your enemies with blessed charm. When a creature within 15 feet of you that you can see targets you with an attack but before the attack roll, you can use your reaction to attempt to beguile it.
The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the triggering attack misses, and the attacker cannot attack you until the end of your next turn. An attacker that can't be charmed is immune to this feature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Charm of the Gods
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your channel divinity to briefly change what another creature deeply wants. As an action, you choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed saving throw, the target is charmed by you until the start of your next turn. While it is charmed in this way, you can dictate how the target takes its turns. For example, you can designate a location that the creature must try to move toward, or you can designate another creature that the target must take hostile action toward. The target will not take obviously lethal action such as walking off a cliff, jumping into lava, or engaging a pit fiend in single combat. If it is forced to attack its allies, the attack has disadvantage.
One Man's Trash
Starting at 6th level, your deity grants you the uncanny ability to sense that which people value and desire. You know when an object worth 200gp or more is within 60 feet of you, and you know how many. This does not inform you of the location or full value of the object or objects.
An Offer You Can't Refuse
Also at 6th level, you gain the ability to strengthen your divine magic by using nothing more than your words to weaken your enemies' resolve.
When you use your Disarming Appeal or Charm of the Gods class features against a humanoid that can hear you and shares a language with you, you can make your choice of a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check contested by the target's Wisdom (Insight) check. If you win the contest, the target has disadvantage on their saving throw against the triggering class feature.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Widsom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Untouchable
Starting at 17th level, you can use your Disarming Appeal class feature an unlimited number of times without having to rest, though it still requires you to use your reaction.

Yes, this has been noted. Thank you. This is an older subclass that will receive updates when the compendium releases.
Disarming Presence vs Disarming Appeal. Seems there was a change not fully updated across the document. Please revise. It seems a fun subclass, however it would seem a desire cleric should be able to have access to longer term effects. But spells should be able to pick up that slack.
