Wounding weapons - what's the save DC?


Rules Questions


I might just be an idiot and can't read, but I can see which save type you need to make with Wounding weapons, but not how you calculate DC.

Surely it can't be against damage dealt, because that's an insane requirement for such a detrimental effect.

WEAPON SPECIAL PROPERTY AND CRITICAL HIT DCS wrote:
Some weapons that explode or cause critical hit effects (see page 182) allow the target to attempt a saving throw. The DC of such a saving throw is typically equal to 10 + half the weapon’s item level + one of your ability modifiers. Unless stated otherwise, the ability modifier corresponds to the ability score you’d normally use to make an attack with that weapon (Dexterity for a ranged or thrown weapon, and Strength for a melee weapon). Any penalty you would normally take to your weapon attack roll also applies to this DC, including penalties from the weapon’s range increment.
