Ask your DM.

(But my answer is no.)

11-15-04, 04:24 AM Even the lowest of myconids has near-human intelligence. Toss in their plant traits, and that's a very useful and powerful familiar. I'd call it an Improved Familiar, probably with some other house-ruled feat tying the caster's magic to nature as a prerequisite.

Better yet, why not a cohort? They'd be a little lower level than the leadership score would otherwise indicate, but it'd be more appropriate.

11-15-04, 04:47 PM Druids don't have familiars to correct all of you.While this is a true statement; and
the original post mentions that the guy has an idea for a gnome druid;
the thread question is "Can you have a myconid familiar as a 1st level WIZ"

So, your statement is barely relevant.
Your correction is misplaced. :P
