Question on the DC for an Aasimar's Spell-Like Ability

[Kara Zolis]

Hello everyone. Recently got the Aasimar boon and decided to make an Azata-Blooded Aasimar Swashbuckler. But I am a little confused on how i determine the DC for her Glitterdust Spell-Like Ability. Here is the Spell-Like Ability section for a regular Aasimar:

Spell-Like Ability (Sp): Aasimars can use daylight once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level equal to the aasimar's class level).

And here is the section for the Azata-Blooded Aasimar:

Alternate Spell-Like Ability Musetouched gain glitterdust as a spell-like ability.

Now Glitterdust is a level 2 spell and and Daylight is a level 3 spell. Now as I understand it, the DC should be 10 + spell level + ability modifier associated with casting. So would the Glitterdust Spell-Like ability have a lower DC than the Daylight Spell-Like Ability?

Anyway, thanks for any help or information you can provide. Have a great day and happy gaming.

You have it correct. For spell-like abilities, the relevant ability modifier is Charisma (unless otherwise specified).

So in your case, 12 + your Charisma modifier. ^_^

Thank you. I was hopeing for the off chance that it was fixed being 13 + my modifier (since Daylight was 3rd level) but it all works good. So my save DC would be a 15.

Thank you again for the info. If I could get one more to double confirm this that would be awesome. Have a great day and happy gaming. :)

If no caster level is specified, the caster level is equal to the creature’s Hit Dice. The saving throw (if any) against a spell-like ability is 10 + the level of the spell the ability resembles or duplicates + the creature’s Charisma modifier.

Bonus triple confirm. Kalindlara and Bobcubed are spot on as usual.
