Favored enemy (plants)
At 1st level, the Dwarven tree-slayer gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of the plant type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against plant creatures.
At 4th level these bonuses increase by 2, dwarven tree-slayers automatically overcome DR of plant-creatures, and ignore the hardness of objects made primarily from wood.
Rage
At 1st level, the Dwarven tree slayer can fly into a rage once per day. This feature functions exactly like the barbarian feature. At 3rd and again at 5th level teh dwarven tree slayer gains an additional use per day of this ability.
Tree-slayer's mount
The Tree slayer gets a Dire beaver (https://koboldpress.com/our-dire-and-native-beaver/) that functions as a loyal mount. The dire beaver gets bonus HD, bonus natural armor and bonus strength equal to your class level. If the Dwarven tree slayer has the 'special mount', 'animal companion' or a similar feature, the dire beaver mount can be designated as the special mount, gaining all the benefits associated with the feature.
At 5th level, you can choose to gain a giant woodpecker as your mount instead. Use the giant eagle statblock and add the 'cleave trees' and 'spit splinters' abilities from the dire beaver.
If a dwarven tree-slayer loses their special mount, they need to perform the ritual of mighty blows to attract a new companion. To perform this ritual they need to find a mighty arboreal foe, with a trunk at least a meter in diameter, and fell it in single combat using an axe of their choice. Succeeding at this ritual will attract a new mount that will serve the dwarven tree-slayer loyally.
Timberrrr!
At 5th level, the Dwarven Tree-Slayer gains the ability o inflict critical hits on creatures of the plant type and the threat range and critical multiplier of all axes used by the dwarven tree-slayer against an enemy of the plant type is increased by one. In addition critical hits scored are confirmed automatically.
