Huge creatures and Basilisks


Rules Questions


Had the party druid turn into a huge creature and get petrified by a basilisk's gaze attack. He nat 1 it. So how many basilisk's does it take to turn him back? A basilisk blood can cover 1d3 medium size creatures. So how many basilisk's would it take to turn him back to flesh before we rolled to see how many medium size creatures are covered?

4 mediums are a huge, i figure since tents imply two mediums make a large

I will agree with Shadow that a Huge creature counts as four Medium creatures. Although I arrived at it by looking at the various spells (e.g. teleport, feather fall) usually state that: "a Large creature or object counts as two Medium creatures or objects, a Huge creature or object counts as four Medium creatures or objects, and so forth."

So, the answer is it will take a least two basilisks and as many as four basilisks to get enough blood.


The size progression combinations of the broodmaster summoner archetype support the 1 to 2 logic. When the broodmaster buys the huge evolution, he gets two larges, or four mediums, or combinations so forth.
