[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 5724128, member: 6684996"] I guess I'm (#1) mostly but to be honest I haven't used gaze attack mobs as wandering monsters or anything either so generally the party has some idea that hey, there is probably a Medusa or Basilisk or something in here long before they ever encounter it. Like they're specifically here to kill that thing as a boss or at least they see the statues and I'm pretty graphic about it and everyone gets the idea pretty quick. If your asking about player knowledge versus character knowledge then sorry I'm not much help because I haven't used weird obscure gaze creatures so I figure everyone knows that looking at a Medusa will turn you to stone and I haven't had any players who didn't so it hasn't come up. I would probably try to keep everyone honest for character knowledge but I'd also feel like a jerk dropping some crazy monster no one in the party had ever heard of into the dungeon if it could kill them or turn them to stone with one look now charming or something like that is different, its less extreme and they can learn the hard way lol.
