Woodland living (Ex): As the starting ability, the Forest keeper gains a +4 fortitude to all poisoness plants, fungi and other naturally occurring poisons, s/he also gains a +4 bonus to hide and move silently checks inside woodlands.

Spellcasting: The Keeper can cast a small number of Divine spells based on their Wisdom score and using the spell progression for assassins. He uses his own spell list:

• 1st Level: Detect poison, know direction, Detect plants, Endure elements, Entangle, Goodberry, and Pass without trace.
• 2nd Level: Plant messenger, Barkskin, Delay poison, Resist elements, Soften earth and stone, Tree shape, wood shape.
• 3rd Level: Meld into plants, Neutralize poison, plant growth, poison, protection from elements, Snare, Speak with plants, Spike growth
• 4th Level: Awaken, Control plants, Dispell magic, Plant plague, Quench, Spike plants, Tree stride, wall of thorns

Spell notes: Detect plants is as Detect animals and plants, but only plants, Plant messenger is the same as animal messenger but A vine or similar plant is used, Meld into plants is the same as Meld into stone, but the cast melds into plants and Spike Growth as spike stone but it only effects vegitation
Barkskin (Sp): Conjuring up innate power, the Forest keeper may now make His/her skin bark like, as the spell.
Sun Sustenance (Ex): Also at second level, the Forest keeper gains the ability to draw energy from the sun. As long as s/he spends at least 4 hours of the day outdoors, s/he can draw sustenance from the sun itself, and thus s/he requires no food that day. S/he still thirsts, however, and needs the standard amount of water to survive.

Plant growth (Sp): Usable 1/day the Forest keeper may cast plant growth, but only the “Over growth” version.

Sense step (Ex): The Forest keeper gains Tremorsense, by sensing the vibrations travelling along Roots and overhead vines. This is effects at a base range of 60ft

Hard as wood (Ex): Due to extensive magic and work with plants, his/her skin hardens, granting the Toughness feat and DR --/3

Thorn chain (Su): The Forest keeper can now create a long, thorned vine from any nearby tree branch. Equal to a +1 spiked chain per 3 levels of the Keeper, this sacred weapon deals 2d4 piercing damage and +1d6 of sacred damage. The keeper is automatically proficient in using this equivalent of the spiked chain, and it breaks no oaths.

Treant Wild Shape (Sp): Beginning at sixth level, the Forest keeper can use wild shape to take the form of a Treant and back again once per day. This ability otherwise works like wild shape. Since a Treant has a voice and manipulative appendages, the Forest keeper can cast spells normally while in Treant wild shape.

Permanent Barkskin (Su): The Forest keeper's affinity of nature has granted him/her toughened skin, And instead of the usual +4 , they gain +5.

Protective briar (Sp): The Forest keeper is, now able to call upon nature and cover himself with a sharp tangle of vines. It has (Wis mod)d8 hit points, and grants 60% concealment, but the Forest keeper is unhindered in his movements, and the briar follows him. The briar fills the square so no other being may enter, and any one without reach/ranged weapon takes 1d4 damage on a failed reflex save of 13.

Gaea's Embrace: At 10th level, the Forest keeper permanently becomes a plant creature, though all forms of wild shape that the character could previously use remain available to him. His/her type changes to plant, and as a result s/he gains low-light vision, is immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and polymorphing, and is not subject to critical hits or mind-influencing effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, or morale effects). S/he no longer suffers penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any aging penalties s/he may already have suffered, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the Forest keeper still dies of old age when His/her time is uup.
