Strength Check

Last night I threw a bunch of Blaspheme's against the party.
The Blaspheme Entomber has the following attack:

+17 vs AC; 2d6+5 necrotic damage, and the target is knocked prone until it succeeds on a DC 20 Strength check to stand up.

The part about a Strength Check caused a bit of a stir at the table. Several of us interpreted it as D20 plus your strength modifier. Several others thought it should include the 1/2 level bonus like other skills.

So I pose the Rules Masters here, which is it and where is it defined?

For the record, the affected player and I both agreed on D20 plus strength mod, so we went with that.

Thanks.

Oddly nearly this exact question is on one of the Herald level DM exams for being "certified" to DM RPGA/LFR events, so at least WotC feels that it comes up often enough.
