The feat Quicken Spell-Like Ability states:
The creature can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to 1/2 its caster level (round down) – 4.
Does this mean a spell-like ability that does not duplicate a spell (such as a cleric's domain power) cannot be used with this feat? If not, what spell level does the domain power count as?
Any ideas? (I have been searching hard for any way a Luck domain cleric can effectively buff himself with Bit of Luck.)
Though I have not looked over all of the domains most of them are not spell-like. Most are SU. The few that are SP all seem to in fact be duplicating a actual spell.
To be more clear the only domain powers that are spelllike abilitis are those marked (SP).
From the FAQ:
Cleric domains, sorcerer bloodlines, wizard schools, and certain other class features give spell-like abilities that aren't based on spells. What's the effective spell level for these abilities?
The effective spell level for these spell-like abilities is equal to the highest-level spell that a character of that class could normally cast at the level the ability is gained.
For example, a 1st-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental ray as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 1's highest-level spell available is 1st, that spell-like ability counts as a 1st-level spell. A 9th-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental blast as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 9's highest-level spell available is 4th, that spell-like ability counts as a 4th-level spell.

Since a Luck-domain cleric gains the bit of luck ability at 1st level, when the highest level spell he can cast are 1st-level spells, the ability counts as a 1st-level spell.

The one I'm most interested in is Bit of Luck from the Luck domain, which is listed as spell-like but doesn't seem to duplicate any spell. Several other domains also have spell-likes that do not duplicate spell:

Awesome, thanks for the citation!
