Salt mephits come from the [[SRD:Elemental Plane of Earth|Elemental Plane of Earth]].

Salt mephits are sarcastic creatures who loathe water and moisture of any kind. Each one is about 4 feet tall and weighs about 80 pounds.

Salt mephits speak Common and Terran.
===Combat===
'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|Breath Weapon]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' 10-foot cone of salt crystals, damage 1d4, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 half. Living creatures that fail their saves are tormented by itching skin and burning eyes. This effect imposes a –4 penalty to [[SRD:AC|AC]] and a –2 penalty on [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]] for 3 rounds. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based and includes a +1 racial bonus.

'''[[SRD:Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:''' Once per hour a salt mephit can use ''[[SRD:Glitterdust|glitterdust]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 14, [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 3rd).

Once per day it can draw the moisture from an area in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Living creatures within range take 2d8 points of damage ([[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 14 half; [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 6th). This effect is especially devastating to [[SRD:Plant Type|plant]] creatures and aquatic creatures, which take a –2 penalty on their [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]]. This ability is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Summon Mephit ([[Sp]]):''' Once per day, a mephit can attempt to summon another mephit of the same variety, much as though casting a summon monster spell, but with only a 25% chance of success. Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers the summons that day. A mephit that has just been summoned cannot use its own summon ability for 1 hour. This ability is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell.

'''[[SRD:Fast Healing (Special Ability)|Fast Healing]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A salt mephit heals only if in an arid environment.
