Depending on your type of outsider a Fortitude check for nausea or sickening might be in order, or it may even be poisonous or caustic ( channeling "alien " here). Since the Dire Weasels are Pseudonatural though, we might assume slightly altered sense of taste (GM's call ) which might just be up to swallowing the vile stuff.Of course, given the fact that basic Dire Weasels only have bite damage of 1D6+3 (1d6+5 with Augmented Summoning) they will usually be hard pressed to even yield a damaging bite on most outsiders, given that these tend to have DR 10/whatever or better.no actual damage = no secondary effects from bite like con drain.Another tactic for the outsiders may be using fire shield (magic) or immolate themselves with some kerosene (they are pretty likely to be immune to that, while the Diie Weasels are not ). Aura of Cold (greater and lesser ) from Frostburn will be veryeffective in ckilling of the weasels, especially if energy substituted. As will a point blank range fireball (given their commonly excellent saves and elemental resistances most outsiders will take no damage ).And with "Complete Arcana" waiting in the wings (and the Alienist as confirmed content ) it's a rather safe bet that the pseudonatural template may see a revision pretty soon. If is anything like the "ice beast" template from Frostburn, all specuial attacks of the summoned beasties will get replaced (hence no con drain abuse ). So maybe check out that book, once it hits the street,Oh, as a last "house rule" resort - as the pseudonatural template alters the metabolism and origin of the Dire Weasels, assume that their usually ravening appetites get replaced by something else - aka swap out the hunger driven blood-drain with something else...</blockquote>
