"name": "Immortal Nature" - "desc": "As soon as a creature within 30 feet of the gorgon sees the gorgon's face, it may make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a success, that creature may use a reaction to shield its eyes or avert them. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, or if the creature is unable to react, the creature is instantly [petrified](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#petrified). Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained). The [restrained](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#restrained) creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming [petrified](../../../Compendium/rules/conditions#petrified) on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is unpetrified by a god.If the gorgon sees its own face reflected on a polished surface within 30 ft. of it and in an area of bright light, the gorgon is, due to its curse, affected by its own visage.This trait has no effect if the gorgon's face is not its normal flesh state.
