Riding Crops (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 a kind of flight.
The hero is able to ride across tall grass and grains, shooting across the top of it like a hydroplane shooting across the water. This presses the grass flat as he does so, leaving a clear trail behind the hero.

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 grasslands and wheat and grain crops and fields.
Other Abilities and Bonuses:
The hero can leap twice his normal distance if jumping from tree to tree.
+2 or +5% to balance checks when standing or walking on tree branches
The character can walk on tree branches and atop hedges as if half his normal weight.
The hero only takes half damage from wooden weapons and arrows, as well as any weapons fashioned from plants or inflicted by opponents in an APS: Plant type form.
