Message: <blockquote data-quote="FCWesel" data-source="post: 803206" data-attributes="member: 5222">When your characters run into a beastie that has the Petriftying Gaze ability, how do you have it affect the PCs in your games?Do all of their posessions turn to stone, or just their flesh and body?  Would you or do you allow items they are carrying to make saves? (Maybe for only magical or story-driving piece of equipment or gear?)I can see both being interesting, but it seems a tad more logical to me that only their physical selves (ie: flesh, blood and bone) turns to stone, leaving poessions on and about their statue-sk forms.Perhaps turning gear in addition to flesh is a "greater petriftying" ability that could be be a power for higher HD creatures?ALSO.  How do you roll out the "look into my eyes" part?  If a character attacks the beast he must look at it, or it is treated AS IF it were invisible, right?  If they do look at it, do you have a INT check or WILL roll to avoid looking at its eyes?  Obviously there can be bonuses to this roll if the hero has prepared, gause "blind folds", special visored helmet, etc.What about Darkness.  What if one of the two is in darkness and the other cannot see in that enviornment but one can?I ask this because the heroes in my FR/SL game are going to be encountering a nest of Basilisks.Also, I am considering giving them a DR *something*/10.  I am thinking about using "darksteel" (a special material in the FR book)  as the type of material thier DR works for.   The group has one or two items of this type.Is this enough to actually increase thier CR rating, do you think?  What additional boost should I give them if it does not?Thoughts or Ideas?</blockquote>
