The Fungus Druid character project

Hi there!

I'm about to create my very first druid after 6-7 years of gaming (it's about time!), and I have decided that this character should have some relation to fungi (fungus? whatever). Basically, I have two keywords: fungus and druid. Now I need your help. What to do? Any ideas how to develop this idea?

I sort of have this picture of an old halfling in a very deep, dark green forest walking in a slimy swamp just to collect a rare magical mushroom, so he can pulverize it and create magical dust that will do wounderful things. :)

I don't think the idea is completely worthless because of spells like "infect disease" or various clones. There are some fungus monsters you can summon, perhaps (if not, you can use slimes). I also think I can use the fact that most fungi are very good at "disintegrating" (decomposing perhaps... don't really know how to put it) other organisms.

The campaign is sort of "disturbed heroic", or "light-cthulhu". It's not a horror campign, but its not your typical Forgotten Realms high-fantasy campagn either. The party level is 4, so this guy should be 4th level too. Although I don't really need help with stats and rules, It would be very nice if you happen to know some prestige classes, skills, spells or anything that might suit this character.

Thanks!

I'll second Oozemaster from Masters of the Wild, it sounds very much like what your looking for. I'd also think about stuff like profession: herbalism and alchemy.
 


Oozemaster is very interesting, however you have to be able to cast 3rd level spells, so a druid would have to be 5th level before even starting it. If he wants a 4th level druid i don't think there will be any PrC for him.

But he can aim and set upm his character so he can take it really fast.
