My brother and i are confused about this type of saving throw, It says it is a reflex save, but the sentence after that says the save is based on Constitution. I have seen this for will and fortitude as well.
Here is an example from PF Bestiary.
"Shocker lizards can deliver an electrical shock
to a single opponent within 5 feet. This attack deals 1d8
points of nonlethal electricity damage to living
opponents (Reflex DC 12 half ). This save DC
is Constitution-based. Additionally, if
two or more shocker lizards are within
20 feet of each other, they can work
together to create a lethal shock once
every 1d4 rounds. This effect has a
radius of 20 feet, centered on any
one contributing lizard. All creatures
within that radius take 2d8 points
of lethal electricity damage for each
lizard contributing to the shock, to
a maximum of 12d8. A Reflex save
(DC 10 + the number of lizards
contributing) halves the damage."
Could someone explain this to me?
