Petrifying Glance
30 feet.
Trigger A creature within 30 feet that the basilisk can see starts its turn.
Effect The target must attempt a save. If it fails, it's Slowed 1 for 1 minute as its body slowly stiffens.
Petrifying Gaze
The basilisk stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. That creature must attempt a save. If it fails and has not already been slowed by Petrifying Glance or this ability, it becomes Slowed 1. If the creature was already slowed by this ability or Petrifying Glance, a failed save causes the creature to be permanently.
A creature petrified in this manner that is coated (not just splashed) with fresh basilisk blood no more than 1 hour old is instantly restored to flesh. A single basilisk contains enough blood to coat Medium creatures in this manner.
