Someone asked me about playing a Groot-like character in another game he's playing in. They are using the marvel universe as the setting and the DM is bad with homebrewing races.

Flora Colossus (Aka: Groot)

+4 Constitution, +2 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma. Flora colossi are extremely hardy and have above average intelligence; however, they have a difficulty relating to others and tend to be foolish.

Plant Blood: Flora Colossi are of the humanoid (plant) subtype.

Medium: Flora colossi are medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Slow Speed: Flora Colossi have a base speed of 20 feet.

Tough Bark: Flora Colossi receive a +1 natural armor bonus and energy resistance to fire 5. This stacks with any future energy resistance gained through other effects.

Naturally Psionic: Flora Colossi gain the wild talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If a Flora colossus takes levels in a psionic class, he instead gains the psionic talent feat.

Flora Colossus Psionics: Flora Colossi gain the following psi-like abilities: The manifester level for these effects is equal to 1/2 the Flora colossus's level (minimum 1st), unless otherwise noted.

1/day — compression, expansion, natural healing.
1/month — astral seed (ML 15th, takes the form of a tiny plant sapling, instead of a crystal of ectoplasm).

Psionic Aptitude: When a Flora colossus takes a level in a favored class, it can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.

Repletion (Su): A Flora colossus can sustain his body without need of food or water. If he spends 1 power point, a Flora colossus does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.

Languages: Flora Colossi begin play speaking only their racial language, known as groot. Flora Colossi have difficulties mastering other languages and must spend four skill points to gain another language, rather than one skill point

Have you taken a look at the pathfinder race Ghoran (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/more-races/advanced-races-11-20-rp/ghoran-19-rp)? It almost screams Groot... True it is only a medium-sized creature, but there are several ways for the character to get the power expansion (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/e/expansion). I mean seriously, a single level in Psychic Warrior would do the trick...
