[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9317122, member: 7030563"] RAW they can breathe, but they are not affected by aging, so I would say no. Since they do not age while petrified they can not drown. 4 minutes after they are tossed in water their body is still in the same state it was before they were thrown in. Their body did not age 4 minutes without air. That is debatable though and some may rule you can drown them. You can certainly damage them, to include psychich damage. Objects typically are not affected by psychich damage. No this is in the rules from the petrified condition: [LIST] [*][I][I]The creature is immune to [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Rules:Poisons?expansion=0#content']poison[/URL] and [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Rules:Diseases?expansion=0#content']disease[/URL], although a poison or disease already in its system is suspended, not neutralized.[/I][/I] [/LIST] Absolutely 100%. They are resistant to psychic damage but not immune, again this is covered in the condition: [LIST] [*][I][I]The creature has resistance to all damage.[/I][/I] [/LIST] Yes. They are still a humanoid so even cure wounds still works. It depends on how they were petrified. If it was from the Flesh to Stone spell yes, from the spell description: [I]If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state.[/I] If it was from a medusa there is nothing RAW that would make it so. This is going into territory outside the rules. If you are tied down on a torture rack and an adversary cuts your finger off, do you lose it? [/QUOTE]
