Personally I want a Basilisk or Cockatrice of or Medusa whatever to be a process its basically a damage type of stoning it may randomly induce upper or lower body slowing and immobilized if you are already slowed or disadvantage on attacks and then weakness on your attacks if they are already disadvantaged or similar if it takes you down to zero hit points you are stoned
And of course everybody must get.. stoned.

Different tastes.In general it is better to die quickly and roll up a new character than sit and roll death saves.
Terrible rule.
That said, I think the "make a save every turn to end the spell, and it's a concentration spell and might end early anyways" mechanic used with hold person, for example, is a bit much of overcompensation, however. I'd prefer some other mechanism that keeps the spell a bit more dangerous than it currently is. I would not be opposed to having different rules for PCs and NPCs, even.
How does your game implement introducing new characters?In general it is better to die quickly and roll up a new character than sit and roll death saves.
