How do I figure what level Hold Monster is?

[0-hr]

Hold Monster is listed as "Level: Brd 4, Law 6, Sor/Wiz 5" but I am gaining the ability via the StoneLord PrC. How do I figure the save DC?

The Stormlord PrC in complete divine adds spell levels to your existing divine spellcasting class. so, I assume that hold monster is in your existing divine spell list.. law perhaps?

The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a cleric’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the cleric’s Wisdom modifier.

Stonelord from Complete Warrior. Sorry, should have said that up front.

The DC is going to be 10 + spell level + CON, but I don't know which "spell level" to use, 4, 5 or 6.

Ahh, yes... you did type stone, not storm...

anyway... I'd suggest using the 5th level version.

I believe (but cannot find the reference) that either the MM or the DMG states that when a class is not specified for a spell, to use sorcerer.

From the Monster Manual, Special Abilities, Spell-Like:

Some spell-like abilities duplicate spells that work differently when cast by characters of different classes. 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.
