📋 About This Mod

Adds the Wild Companion class feature to Druids from DnD 5e that makes them able to cast Find Familiar at Level 2. The spell is Always Prepared. Also adds Flock of Familiar from 5e Spells mod to Druid spell list. The spell has the same cost and rules of the usual Find Familiar (it doesn't cost a Wild Charge like in 5e because that doesn't make sense in BG3's game balance context).

At level 2 you will gain the Wild Companion passive that grants you access to the Find Familiar spell:

Additionally, the spell Flock of Familiars from 5e Spells mod will be added to the appropiate Druid spell list (level 3 as it's a Level 2 Conjuration spell) if you have that mod installed, load my mod after that one:

This mod DOES NOT require 5e Spells to work, if you don't use that mod everything will work fine regardless (besides the obvious fact you won't get Flock of Familiars becaue it's from that mod).

Installation

Just drop use a mod manager to install the .pak (or put it manually where it should go if you know how to do that). Remember to install requirements (Community Library, Compatibility Framework and ScriptExtender).

Compatibility

Compatible with anything.

Some of my other mods

OneDnD - Eldritch Knight - War Magic and Improved War Magic: my OneDnD War Magic and Improved War Magic mod. Built on top of Argelia's OneDnD Fighter mod (that implements War Magic of OneDnD), this mod applies many bugfixes and upgrades to Argelia's War Magic implementation and additionally adds a new implementation to also include Improved War Magic (learned at lvl 12 of Eldritch Knight).

Dragonborn Breath Weapon Enhanced: pairs well with Eldritch Knight Dragonborn. This mod reworks the Breath Weapon of Dragonborn inspired by Fizban's Treasury of Dragons book and some additional adjustments of my own. New abilities, charge-based system, create elemental surfaces and apply status, comaptibility with Extra attack and more!

Eldritch Knight Plus! - New Passives, Rebalancing and MORE!: my big mod of changes to Eldritch Knight to make it a more balanced, fun and specially viable class in the context of Baldur's Gate 3's game-balance. A lot of changes, chief among them a rebalanced spell progression and new passives. Compatible with this mod and Argelia's OneDnD Fighter 2024 mod.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod adds the DnD 5e Wild Companion feature to Druids, allowing them to cast Find Familiar at Level 2 as an always-prepared spell. It also integrates Flock of Familiars from the 5e Spells mod if installed. A niche utility mod for Druid players seeking familiar companions.

✨ Key Features

  • Always-prepared spell means no spell selection hassle—just cast it when you need it.
  • Integrates with the popular 5e Spells mod for extra familiar variety.

⚠️ Cons

  • Low endorsement count (33) suggests a niche audience—may not be widely tested.
  • Requires the 5e Spells mod for the Flock of Familiars feature, which is an extra dependency.
  • Last updated in November 2024—could be outdated if the game has since patched.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the 5e Spells mod installed if you want the Flock of Familiars integration—otherwise the spell won't appear.
  • Find Familiar is always prepared, so you can cast it anytime outside combat without needing to swap spells.
  • Use the familiar for scouting and utility—it can distract enemies and grant advantage in combat.
