Sounds kinda like a death curse.

If this power Takes Out a character, the take-out result reflects the nature of the attack (generally turning them to stone).


Do you think the gaze should deal mental or physical stress? It didn't seem appropriate for physical armor to defend against a basilisk's gaze, but should stuff like Tower of Faith work instead? Maybe so.. but I could see treating it as a physical attack as it's a physical transformation.

Pretty sure you could do this with Incite Effect.

I think it'd work either as a physical effect or as a mental one. Worn armour is subject to narrative limits on its applicability, so it's easy enough to just ignore it when attacking with something like a petrifying gaze. And to me it seems okay for Toughness to work against the gaze.

Rossbert:
So I created a couple new faerie style creatures for a bit of Irish campaign.  Just a super rough outline before I head to work that I can flesh out more with aspects later.
