  • Poisonous Bite*: Saves vs. Con or lose 1-3 (1d10 divided by 3, round down) points of Speed and Dexterity. See description below for more details.

 

The Cockatrice looks like a cross between a lizard and rooster, and its length does include its long scaly tail. It is covered in small scales, and its wings are feathered.

The Cockatrice is feared because its bite delivers a poison that calcifies the flesh and bone of the target. If the victim fails his Save vs. Con, he loses points of both Speed and Dexterity. Boon Points earned by the bite attack can be used to increase the TN of the Save by 2 for every Boon Point spent.

Once a target reaches zero in both Speed and Dexterity, he is fully turned to stone, but his items and equipment are not. He may then, once per day, make a Save vs. Con (same TN as the original Save) to recover from the petrification. Should the target fail this daily Save 3 times, the petrification becomes permanent.

Any creature restored to flesh normally does so with a Speed and Dexterity of 1. They will then naturally regain 1 point of each stat per day until they are at their former levels. Some types of magical healing can also restore the damage to the stats as well.
