__TOC__
==Overview==
Despite Waukeen's apparent demise, there exists a sect of her clergy in Sembia that simply refuses to believe that she is dead. The profitprophets continuously preach and portend the Merchant Goddess' return, all the while making lots of money in business ventures.
Lliira now covertly gives these priests their spells and abilities. The profitprophets blindly point to the fact that they use Waukeen's name in their prayers and rituals and still gain spells as proof that she is still alive, or at the very least, not completely dead.
==Description==
The profitprophets are stubbornly determined to keep the customs and vestments of the church of Waukeen alive. They strut around in tunics made of the most expensive materials, covered by heavy cloaks decorated with small in-laid bars of precious metals, gems, and ermine trim. The profitprophets look every bit an affluent and successful priesthood. The visible displays of wealth are meant to assure everyone that the goddess of wealth is still quite alive indeed. Many believe, however, that the profitprophets are the ones who need that reassurance more than most.
==Role-Playing==
Profitprophets walk the fine line between public shows of opulence and private fits of desperate doubt. Publicly, they continue to bless new businesses, advise and make business deals, and amass wealth. Privately, they hope and pray that Waukeen is truly alive, or else they will eventually wind up looking awfully silly, not to mention flat broke.
These priests refuse to face the idea that Lliira now has Waukeen's portfolio. Interestingly enough, Lliira magnanimously lets them have their spells.
Still, old habits die hard, and profitprophets cannot resist a good bargain, a hearty round of haggling, an exciting investment, or a jingling purse full of gold. After all, priests can raise mortals from the grave, so the prophets hope their continued worship may yet restore Waukeen to life as well!
==Special Abilities==
Profitprophets can discern real precious metals and gems from clever fakes. This even includes false valuables created by magical means.
The profitprophets can also estimate, give or take 5%, the cost of any goods or service they can see. Services applies to things like rooms for the night at a particular inn, a smithy's price for forging an item, or even a mercenary's pay rate for guarding a caravan.
The clerics can turn undead.
==Special Disadvantages==
The clergy of Lliira have taken over most of Waukeen's devoted, and the church of Waukeen officially, though unhappily, acknowledges this. As a result, there is friction between the profitprophets and the Lliiran church. Hostilities often break out between the two, even in public places.
If a profitprophet ever experiences spell failure, he must make an ability check using Intelligence. If the check is failed, the cleric believes that Waukeen is truly dead and suffers the effects of a confusion spell. Each subsequent day, the cleric may make another ability check. Once the profitprophet passes the check, the madness lifts and all is well again.
