Hydroplane (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero has a kind of oneness with nature, a gestalt allowing him to live in harmony with it. This allows the hero to do amazing things in cooperation with it, the most notable being flight over bodies of water.
The hero is able to ride across bodies of water, shooting across the top of it like a hydroplane. This presses the water flat as he does so, leaving a clear trail behind the hero. He must move to avoid boats and ships, as the power must be over unobstructed water.

Flight Speed: The hero's MEX20mph, plus 20mph per level
Bonuses in Flight:
+4 dodge if hovering or flying under 60mph, +6 over
+1 attack per melee round
+4 damage for every 20mph of flight speed
Altitude: The hero's ME number in feet, plus one foot per level
Limitations: The flight ability is only possible over water such as lakes, rivers, oceans and such. This power is useless on dry land.
Other Abilities and Bonuses:
The character only takes only half damage from water based attacks.
The character enjoys +10% to swimming and +5% to all nautical skills
