Your eyes glow with a pale green incandescence, hinting at concentrated malice.

Your look turns one creature per round to stone permanently. Once each round, you can choose to look at a creature as a standard action. The creature must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw or be turned to stone.

Creatures can avoid the need to make a saving throw by not looking at you. On its turn, a creature chooses whether it is looking at you normally, averting its eyes, or looking away.

  • Averting Eyes: Your opponent can attempt to avoid looking at your face, and instead look at your body, watch your shadow, track you in a reflective surface, and so on. Each round, an opponent has a 50% chance to avert its eyes in this manner, avoiding the need to make a saving throw against your eyes of the basilisk power. However, you gain concealment against that opponent.
  • Looking Away: An opponent can look away or cover its eyes (such as with a blindfold) so that it cannot see you at all. You gain total concealment against that opponent.
