The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +6 racial bonus. #16 two, in fact! :) but I think it should be more similar to the giant slug: Vulnerability to Salt (Ex): A giant slug is highly susceptible to salt, taking 1d8 points of damage per pound of salt it contacts. Ergo (with a bit of a grammar change): Vulnerability to Salt (Ex): A THING is highly susceptible to salt, taking 1d6 points of damage per pound of salt it comes into skin contact with. maybe something like… (it was really just the tanglefoot bag description, essentially) Breath Weapon (Ex): 30-foot line, once every 1d4 rounds, entangled (as tanglefoot bag), Reflex DC 20 negates.
