Last book of the AP, Emperor of Scales and Hollow Serpents.
The Emperor has an ability, the Maddening Hiss, that is not referenced in the stat block itself under special attacks, spells, defenses or special qualities. I'm sure he's supposed to have it, but just making sure, because....
The Hollow Serpent has an ability in the stat block, 'dissonant hiss', that is not explained as a special ability. I'm wondering if he's supposed to have it at all.
Also, the Greater Hollow Serpent, the second ability uses the language 'The save DC is Constitution based' for one of its energy drain abilities. The Save DC is 26, and the snake is undead, so I assume its a cut/paste error and it was supposed to be Charisma based.

I can't say anything about the other stuff, but the ability is still Constitution-based, only undead creatures use their Charisma bonus when calculating Con-based DCs. The ability itself does not change to Charisma-based.

(first bullet point under traits)
I brought it up because the prior ability in the same stat block is also an energy drain ability, and uses the Charisma language.

I apologize, didn't see that. Then it's just sloppy statwork.

The Emperor of Scales's maddening hiss ability is listed in his stat block under "Aura" near the top, because it is a constant ability with an area effect.
The hollow serpent's dissonant hiss ability was cut in development, I believe, but it looks like it was missed in the stat block itself, so just ignore that.
The hollow serpent's desiccation aura is Charisma-based, though as mentioned previously, undead use Charisma instead of Constitution anyway, so it's still technically correct (although it probably should have been changed in the stat block). Channel negative energy uses the Charisma-based language because channel energy's DC is based on Charisma, whether you're undead or not.
Thanks!
