Can you make scrolls with Spell Like Abilities?

[Mark Hoover]

I have a half-elf with Magic Fang 1/day as an SLA. She is also a Wizard 1 with Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat. Can she make scrolls of Magic Fang?

[Kalindlara]

I would think so. If it were constant or self-only or something, I might be inclined to quibble, but I believe that what you described is fine.

My question is, can a skald use Spell Kenning to make scrolls? ^_^

[RedDogMT]

I would think not actually.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): Spell-like abilities, as the name implies, are magical abilities that are very much like spells...Spell-like abilities can be dispelled but they cannot be counterspelled or used to counterspell.

SLA are like spells, but they are not spells and the rules only talk about putting spells on scrolls, not SLA.

You are going to get different opinions from different GMs. Some, like me, would say no; you need to know the spell to write the scroll. Others may not care to split hairs or think it's perfectly ok.

[Nefreet]

Yes, you can.

But the next FAQ says that they wouldn't be able to use the scroll themselves as a spell completion item... at least without using UMD to do it.

[Nefreet]

Yup.

Bonkers, isn't it?

[Mark Hoover]

Good thing I took UMD as a class skill through a trait and have a high Cha.

I think Domain/Bloodline spells were technically in the same boat at one point, until a recent FAQ clarified that class-derived "off-list" spells are added to your spell list, so you can use wands of them etc.

[Mark Hoover]

Can you cite the faq please?

[Owly]

I have to agree with RedDog, Nefreet's answer notwithstanding. An SLA is not a spell. And the definition of a scroll is "a spell that has been stored in written form."

[_Ozy_]

Uh, what? Nefreet pointed to a FAQ that specifically answered the question. What is there to disagree with?
