Some of Priss's specialty priests are druids. Their abilities and restrictions, aside from changes noted above and below, are detailed in full in the Player’s Handbook.

• Swanmays of Priss must be swanmay humans.
• At 3rd level, Swanmays of Priss can cast Decay (as the 2nd-level wizard spell) once per day. They gain an additional casting of this spell for every three levels gained above 3rd (so twice at 6th level, three times at 9th, etc.).
• At 10th level, a Swanmay of Priss can craft a new feather token for another swanmay. This crafting takes a full month, during which the swanmay must pray and chant over the object. Generally, this process requires a small amount of blood from the individual the token is made for, and the individual must gather ingredients for the device. Each token is made for a specific individual and cannot be used by another, and the swanmay may not make one for themself. 
• At 11th level, a Swanmay of Priss may create permanent Undead servants under their command.This is an evil act so no Neutral Druid can do this without losing their druidic status, though they will after this be specialy Necromancer Druids of Priss, and outcasts from the normal druidic order.

The Stewardesses of The Swanmay Pantheon contain only female Goddesses, the supreme Goddess is Summa, Goddess of Magic, followed by equal in Strenght Goddess of Fertility, Toetha. The intermediate Goddess Priss, The Black Swan, is the Goddess of Death, while the lesser goddess of Fire, Vistess, and the lesser goddess of Nature Åne all have very important parts in this nature oriented pantheon. Finally there are three demigoddesses, the demigoddess of War, Bybah, the demigoddess of the Sun, Custi, and the demigoddess of Agriculture, Kori.
