What does this phrase mean?
E.g. When I summon a bat swarm, the swarm has this as an Ex attack:
Distraction (Ex)
Any living creature that begins its turn with a swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 11 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Fort saves are constitution based. So what does this mean? Isn't it redundant, since the DC fort save is already listed?
The only reason for it I can think of, is that if the swarm's CON is raised, the DC would increase. Is that it? If so, by how much? A +4 from Bear's Endurance would raise it by 2?
