| 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 (due to Point-Blank Master feat).  When it hits, stoning gaze inflicts normal ranged attack damage ({{#var:RangedDamage-StdAtk}}) of positive energy damage, and the target must make a saving throw against Petrification (see below).

| 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.

:If a creature is reduced to zero hit points or fewer by Stoning Gaze damage, they are immediately Petrified without benefit of save.
: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.
