| abstract | - The strength of a Stoning Touch ability is noted after its name (e.g. "Stoning Touch -3"). The negative value indicates a temporary penalty applied to the target figure's File:Icon Resist.png score while the attack is taking place. The higher the penalty, the harder it is for the target to survive the attack. Only one creature in the game possesses Stoning Touch by default: Cockatrices. It is however possible to bestow a weakened version of this ability on Heroes, by equipping them with a Magical Item that has the "Stoning" bonus. Note that a similar ability exists, Stoning Gaze, which makes a single petrifying attack on each and every File:Icon Figure.png in the target unit, prior to melee action. This gaze attack is furthermore only fired once per instance of Melee combat, regardless of how many figures are present in the unit possessing the ability.
