Granted Powers

Specialty priests of Waukeen can command and turn undead as clerics.
Specialty priests of Waukeen have the appraising and gem cutting proficiencies at no cost. These can be improved normally.
Specialty priests of Waukeen have the ability to discern true metal from false. They cannot identify metal per se, but can determine if a supposedly gold coin is truly gold or a gold-plated lead fake, or even if it was created magically (say, by a djinn). They do this by hefting the item in the hand and thinking of what the material should be. For mixtures they will get a "partial" result for those metals which are a significant component of the alloy.

Other Notes

The ceremonial garb of Waukeen's followers are gaudy, ornate, and overdone. A heavy, baroque cloak loaded with plates and wheels of different precious metals covers rich tunics, tabards, and trousers of fine material in vibrant colors. The high priest of the local temple carries a magical staff also decorated with precious metals and gems. These staffs are usually <staffs of curing>, but can be of other varieties.

Moneylending is one of the ways the church of Waukeen stays prosperous. Temples usually have a sizeable amount of money available to lend to merchants and other followers of Waukeen at reasonable interest rates. The priests take this business very seriously, though, and protect their interests well. Woe to he who skips town instead of paying his loan from Waukeen!
