So if I have the Aberrant Mark of Contagion feat (-2 penalty to saves for ongoing damage) and hit an enemy with Destructive Salutation, a spell which inflicts a stunned (save ends) and ongoing 10, but both are keyed to the same save, is the penalty for ending both? I'd say yes, but what're your opinions?

If they're both keyed to the same save I'd say yes.

the answer is a definate yes. As part of the (save ends both) there is a ongoing damage componant to it

correct. Similar to how if a dwarf was hit with that, and it was poison ongoing damage.

If it is:
10 Poison damage (save ends)
Stunned(save ends)

The dwarf only gets the bonus to the 10 poison damage

If it is:

10 Poison damage and stunned (save ends both)

Then yes, the dwarf would be at +5 saves. So just rearrange it all and you see how the aberrant mark works.
