If you join the children of the forest cult, nothing much at all. If one joins the cult at higher stages, then some changes will occur (ie soul sight will reveal some organic about him etc). I doubt this would be very dramatic as humans do not have the elfsense organs to fully experience being part of the forest. Some forests may grown some symbiotic plantlife in the human to help her experience aldrya (swamp thing anyone?) but I think these are special gifts rather than handed out left, right and centre.

He would have the spirit and the mentality of an ogre just as much as one who joins Telmor has the spirit of a wolf. But he wouldn't gain the stats of an ogre as I feel the spirit has to be present in the child's formative years to affect his stats.
