Cave Druid: "Ooze master"


Homebrew and House Rules


Inspired by the old 3.5 “Ooze master” and the excellent Galeena character (of Tony Moseley’s “Mount Zogonia” fame), I’d like to include either a small ooze or a animated mushroom as an animal companion.

Oozes with no anatomy, lack of intelligence and ability to squeeze anywhere may be a tad too much. I need to know what would be the stats for an animated mushroom companion for my cave druid? Perhaps a small myconid? Have those been included in any Pathfinder beastiary yet? I know if it comes from Paizo it would give some weight to my case to my GM.

Anyone up to stating this in a balanced way?

The Exchange Kobold Press

There are small ooze familiars and an ooze bloodline/subschool in Kobold Quarterly #20. Might be a start.

Awesome I like that! Thanks

Any idea how to build a mobile Myconid that is balanced as a companion?

Why not just use the Plant Companion rules from the Advanced Race Guide?

Because I'm broke? :(

Kidding: I didn't know there was such a thing it it.
Another party member just got one. I'll look into that. kudos!

All the crunchy bits are on line as open content -- the Plant Companion rules were on the Paizo blog some months ago, and are also on the PFSRD site.

I didn't even think of checking the SRD; I was too sure no such thing existed.

Shows what I know. :p


There's an "offical" paizo one at paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd
and an expanded one (including Advanced Race Guide and 3rd party material) at www.d20pfsrd.com/

Happy gaming!


Yeah, a friend was just telling me about the ooze master in Kobold 20.

Now I want to play one so badly it is threatening to disrupt all my PC plans for the current campaign.


got approval by my gm to have a mushroom companion; woot!
