So, I've read about dessication damage in Sandstorm, and about how aboleths will dry out in a few hours, locking them into the Long Dreaming. Are there any written rules about how aboleths respond to dessication damage?

If not, I've got one:

An aboleth that takes 5 or more points of dessication damage also takes 2 points of dexterity damage, as if it had remained out of the water for an hour. An aboleth whose dexterity has been reduced to 1 by dehydration instead takes additional Constitution damage from further dessication effects.
These effects apply to amphibious aboleths, as well.

Any objections?

I'd just give them Dessication Vulnerability (+50% damage). It's much faster and easier to do.
