| Ability-1-Description = Stoning Gaze is a ranged touch attack that is treated as a ray. Stoning Gaze may be used in melee without provoking attacks of opportunity. When it hits, stoning gaze inflicts normal ranged attack damage ({{Ranged-Dmg}}) points of {{dmg|positive}} damage, and the target must make a saving throw against Petrification (see below). | | Ability-1-Description = Stoning Gaze is a ranged touch attack that is treated as a ray.

| 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 {{Save-DC}}. 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 {{Save-DC}}, 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.

If a creature is reduced to zero hit points or fewer by Stoning Gaze damage, they do not die, but are instead Petrified without benefit of save, and have 1 hit point. | |||
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. | |||
