The standard Svirfneblin ranger has 3 SLAs. The DC for blindness/deafness for him is 12. Usually the DC of SLAs is calculated: 10 + CHA-mod + spell level of equivalent spell.
In the universal monster rules it's stated that by default you take the sorcerer/wizard spell level which would be 2 for blindness/deafness.
When I calculate the 10 -1 (CHA-mod) + 2 (level for blindness deafness) I'm at DC 11, not 12. Are the svirfneblin special in that regard somehow or is this just a mistake?

I am thinking since they are rangers, the DC is calculated on their Wis (10) instead of Cha. Might not make as much sense, but it is my theory.

Perhaps it is a misapplication of the +1 DC from Svirfneblin magic?

Why would you consider that a misapplication?

Because it adds to illusion spells, and blind/deaf is necromancy.
