I'm thinking to add the ability to Detect Greed (much like Detect Magic or Evil) to the Sihedron Medallion and Sihedron Ring.
This serves two purposes:
To further explain how Karzoug and his agents picks his targets for sacrice.
To introduce the characters to the Sin System earlier than the Runeforge.
Would it be weird this early in the campaing? The first one the group finds it's with Nualia.
I'm thinking of limiting it somehow, maybe only work like this to those who are also greedy, and maybe only 3x per day.
It would facilitate for the group to make the connection to the Skinsaw Man murders and greedy ppl, and maybe even try to ambush him using someone greedy as bait.
What do you guys think?

How do you plan on this working?
Detect Magic only for the presence of Transmutation? When invoked, does it grow warmer when pointed at someone who's currently being materially selfish, or do people appear to glow? Will it also detect generosity?
I just think it'd be easy for PCs to either forget that this is a thing, get really bogged down in semantics, or just wave it at everyone and accuse anyone who comes off as too greedy as being in league with The Current Villain/their next target.
If you want to explain more about the sub-plot of harvesting greed, the clues are all there, mainly if the PCs make lists of the victims and try to figure out if they have anything in common. Plus, there's Lucretia's letter to Xanesha, and stuff they can find out at Jorgenfist.
