Detritus Assimilation
Matthias can exert the will of his consciousness over dead plant matter of any kind, once he makes contact with it. The drier the plant, the easier it is for him to assimilate. Matthias is able to freely manipulate about fifty pounds without draining himself. His weight limit is about two hundred pounds - though manipulating that much drains him quickly, and makes it hard to keep a coherent form. Detritus Assimilation allows Matthias to assume different forms depending on how much plant matter he has assimilated.
50 lbs | Base Form
Corn Stalk - (1) Matthias extends his arm, increasing the range of his current weapon by a single class. (Short becomes Medium, Medium becomes Far, etc.}

Hay 'Bail' (!)
Matthias ditches his current body as a small mass of straw, hopefully to be carried away by a kind breeze. This ability reduces Matthias to 1 stamina.
Equalizer
Matthias keeps a vivid range of explosive devices inside of his straw body as an insurance against flames being used against him. If he takes fire damage, roll a d10: 1-9 nothing happens, however, a 10 causes Matthias to explode one round after taking said fire damage. The thunderous explosion can be heard up to three hundred feet away as it deals 2d10 fire damage to anything within a short distance of his body.
