5.3. BATS CHAPTER 5. B
– Slow: Basilisks have a Pace of 5 and only roll a d4 for running.
– Size +3
– Stone Gaze: The basilisk can turn those who meet it’s gaze to
stone. Anyone surprised by the basilisk meets its gaze automatically.
Anyone engaged in melee combat with the basilisk meets
its gaze automatically unless looking away; those who do choose
to look away take a -4 to their Fighting rolls, while the basilisk
gets a +2 to hit them. Using a mirror, you can cut this to a -2
to your Fighting roll, and give the basilisk a +1, though this precludes
the use of a shield. Those who meet its gaze must immediately
make a Vigor check or be turned to stone; they’ll remain
in this state until the basilisk chooses to release them or until it
is killed. Use of the Greater Healing spell will also return a stone
character to normal, though it will not simultaneously heal any
wounds they might have received prior to being petrified. This
power only works against opponents within melee range, and it
does not work in complete darkness.
