| Ability-2-Description = Creatures struck by a basilisk's Stoning Gaze suffer the effects of the attack, as above. They then must make a Fort save versus a DC of {{#var:Special2SaveDC}}. Those who succeed suffer no further ill effects. Those who fail their save gain the [[Torpid]] condition until the end of the encounter and are placed [[Status_Conditions#At-Risk|at risk]]. If they are struck again by a basilisk's Stoning Gaze while Torpid, they must make a new Fort save each time, DC {{#var:Special2SaveDC}}, or they gain the [[Entangled]] condition until the end of the encounter. If they are struck again by the Gaze and fail a save (same DC) while Entangled, they become [[Petrified]], which is a permanent condition until cured. | | Ability-2-Description = Creatures struck by a basilisk's Stoning Gaze suffer the effects of the attack, as above.

:Petrification is a spell-like ability, in that it can be resisted with Spell Resistance, but since it is delivered via Stoning Gaze, which is a supernatural ability, no concentration checks are ever required. | :Petrification is a spell-like ability, in that it can be resisted with Spell Resistance, but since it is delivered via Stoning Gaze, which is a supernatural ability, no concentration checks are ever required. | ||
