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.
