The bestiary for a creature that has the Charm Monster spell as an SLA and a +5 mod caster stat is listed at DC 18. Charm Monster is normally a level 4 spell which would make it a DC 19 spell as stated in an editor's note below. However, on the Bard and Summoner spell lists, Charm Monster is a level 3 spell.
When dealing with a monster's SLAs that can be found on several spell lists, which one are you supposed to use? Would this be a DC 18 as listed in the bestiary, or DC 19 as the editor's note states?
A monster’s spell-like abilities are presumed to be the sorcerer/wizard versions. If the spell in question is not a sorcerer/wizard spell, then default to cleric, druid, bard, paladin, and ranger, in that order.
Thank you. Clears it up nicely.
