A manufactured weapon uses racial hit dice for DCs? Never seen that anywhere in D&D before or since. And because it is not stated by RAW, you cannot prove that it does. All that can be proven is that the DC is 17 + Constitution Modifier for both sand giant stat blocks. And that the sand blaster is a manufactured weapon, not a racial special ability. In fact, the stat block for it also does not include the requisite (EX)/(SU)/(SP) that all special abilities have, further proving it is simply a weapon, whose calculated DC happens to be listed in the Special Attacks row on the giants' stat blocks. That the DC appears to be calculated by RHD could be a coincidence.
So, because there is no evidence anywhere else in the game of a non-racial source using RHD to calculate save DCs, it sounds like that is the path to homebrew.
