In the game, basilisk attacks by looking at their target (projectile type). Sometimes, they go melee with their claws.
Wouldn't it more logical that they always melee, and those who look at them would roll or be petrified? (they would autocast a spell every round that would affect nearby enemies) I have already done this thing for the death gaze of the tanari. I remembered a fight between Drizzt and a basilisk in the underdark. Basilisk was attacking him with his claws but Drizzt has protected his eyes with something. |

I think that you're absolutely right about this. It seems logical that looking straight into the basilisks eyes would be a requirement for saving against petrification.
Instead, basilisks can petrify you even if you're looking away from them. Not fair...So my suggestion is to apply exactly the same condition that come with the Tanari's gaze and let them attack melee. The gaze should not be an active but a passive attack, so to say... It's all completely different of course with other monsters like Beholders whose gaze is instead very active...
