Unarmed Combat 30%: Bite (1D6–1D6+poison).
Note: The basilisk can attack with both gaze and bite simultaneously in the same action.
Magic
Basilisks do not learn magic.
Special Rules
Corrosive Blood: Any non-magical weapon hitting the basilisk corrodes in the creature’s blood, completely disintegrating after 1D4 rounds.
The basilisk’s poison and corrosive blood are magical effects, which lose their special properties a few minutes after leaving the basilisk’s body, making it virtually impossible to use the creature as a source for making lethal compounds.
Basilisk Venom
Type: Ingested or smeared.
Delay: Immediate.
Potency: 65.
Full Effect: 1D4 Hit Point damage, applies –6 penalty to victim’s CON.
Duration: 6D10 minutes.
Death Gaze: A basilisk can kill with a glance. In combat, the basilisk glares at a single opponent each round. If the basilisk overcomes the target in an opposed test of its Persistence against the target’s Resilience, the target dies instantly. Using the gaze attack costs no magic points, and the basilisk may normally attack in any round in which it uses the gaze attack. This attack penetrates magical defences as if it were a Magnitude 6 Personal Magic spell. If the target successfully resists the gaze attack, they are unharmed, though they may be targeted again.
Bloodweed
