Paintscape (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"What a beautiful landscape."

This power allows the superbeing to step into the Paintscape, a dimension normally only accessed through Painter Magic, becoming a Portrait, a being resembling himself but appearing to have been painted (HP and SDC combine for new SDC). Only Painting Spells work within the paintscape, so none of the character's other powers will work while there. The character can use this power to travel in the paintscape and can immediately locate a nearby Framework and exit. If a Portrait, a being native to the paintscape, is in the way, he may push past to get out.
If the character is not out of the paintscape before the duration of the power is up, he will be forcibly pushed out of the nearest Framework and made to exit, although he will probably be nowhere near where he expected (see Navigation below).

Range: The superbeing must touch a painting to pull himself into the Paintscape. For each foot traveled in the paintscape, the character can travel to a painting up to one mile away.
Duration: One hour per level of experience.
Attacks: Entering or leaving the paintscape uses two melee attacks/actions.
Weight Limit: The character can take himself into the paintscape and up to 1000 pounds of equipment.
Navigation: The character automatically knows his way around the paintscape and can navigate himself to a desired painting Framework to exit with a skill level of 45%, plus 5% per level of experience. For every 1% off/over, the character is displaced by 1d10 miles (roll a 1d8 to determine direction, with 1 being north, 2 northeast, etc.).
