Spell-like abilities require spell components / focus?


Rules Questions


Do the spell-like abilities that monsters have require spell components or focuses in order to use if the spells themselves state that they require such?


Generally speaking SLAs do not have components.

Spell-Like Abilities: Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability's use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component.

From the Universal Monster Rules:

Quote:
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp) Spell-like abilities are magical and work just like spells (though they are not spells and so have no verbal, somatic, focus, or material components). They go away in an antimagic field and are subject to spell resistance if the spell the ability is based on would be subject to spell resistance.
