Spell like abilities and components


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

So I know that spell like abilities don't use components, but I can't for the life of me find where in the core book or Pathfinder SRD it says that. A google search brings it up in the old 3.5 SRD. Is the no component thing still the case in Pathfinder or am I mistaken?

Yes it is.

PRD
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.

That's irritating. Punching your qoute into google pulled it up in the monster section. The glossary (and page 554 of the core book) didn't go into detail. I was able to find the part you quoted in the universal monster rules section of the PRD (and now that I know where to look page 304 of the bestiary.)

That's just odd to me that it isn't in the core book.

Thank you for pointing me to it.

It should be in the magic chapter, page 221.
