The basic Kuo Toa is a 2 HD creature with the following stats: Str 13, Dex 10, Con 13, Int 13, Wis 14, Cha 8.

The basic formula for DCs for monsters is 10 + 1/2 HD + stat mod.

The DC for Kuo Toa adhesive is 14, and it doesn't mention what ability is tied to it (this DC is Con based, this DC is Cha based, etc).

So, based on HD, the DC is 11 + stat, but Kuo Toa don't have any +3 stat mods to get to 14. Is the DC just arbitrarily fixed at 14? Would advanced Kuo Toa have stickier goo? I'm statting up the City of the Glass Pool and need some help on this.

Yeah I would actually assume that they just gave it a fixed save rather than have it scale with anything.

I agree, looks like it's not supposed to scale. Based on the way it's presented, my guess is it was supposed to be like an alchemical item, with a fixed DC, rather than a true special ability.
