Since the basilisk is a low-CR baddie, these can be quite the threat for a first-tier party, but pretty easy to avoid at later levels. Its their petrifying gaze that strikes fear into the hearts of adventurers everywhere.Īnybody that starts their turn within 30 feet of these buggers and fails a Constitution check starts to turn to stone. Of course, that’s not what really gets PC’s excited about basilisks. They aren’t terribly bright, but they’re pretty tough with a 16 and 15 in Strength and Constitution respectively. In D&D lore (at least in 5e), basilisks are portrayed as large lizards with eight legs. Long story short, someone gets bit, turns to stone, and wham-o: you’re in jail, bubba. In the adventure that came with the box set, the narrative hook–the one that made it so your players ended up in Zanzer’s Dungeon–was the delivery of a basilisk to… someone. I was just 10 back then, but I was totally hooked by it.
Way, way back in 1991, TSR published The NEW Easy-to-Master Dungeons & Dragons boxed set. Er, anyway, it’s time to cover basilisks.
