Ok so I had someone bring to me this idea, it was a player who sometimes pitches me ideas for event bosses or just random and fun ideas.
Ghoran
Which by itself is cool.
He suggested that the party might run into an area where a guardian of the forest or grove exists. Something with some serious power to knock the players around a bit. This is not for the game he is in, I am running a concurrent game with other players (Most of the same party, he cannot play in that game so he helps out.)
So I thought that was cool I figured a Groot like character a Lame Wood Oracle would be nice and have some power. Maybe add Advanced onto him to make him a little stronger along with just being a higher level.
Then he shows me Green Warden
The stats are not as good as Advanced but the abilities are insanely powerful.
Would this be worth it for a boss fight (Non-lethal most likely) with the creature having 1 less level then the party but having all these abilities? I don't want them to just kill off the boss in a few rounds, I want it to become clear that this thing is using non-lethal on them and figure its just trying to keep them away from something or is misunderstanding their intentions.
20 point buy as the party has a 25 point buy. Level 5 to start currently I might hold this off for a few levels.
What concerns me is the Spell-like abilities like Treestride as an at-will. Good lord that could be a TPK set up in a forest setting. You would have more luck fighting Nightcrawler from the X-Men then this guy.
Honestly would be a bad-ass PC for the next time I PC rather then game but again holy hell the power boost of this guy for a CR +1. I know its third party but it is a clever idea if nothing else.

Never heard of it.
