Bookish Rogue and Quickened / Empower SLA


Rules Questions


I have an Unchained Rogue who has taken the Major Magic Rogue Talent and the Bookish Rogue Feat; and has a sufficient enough effective CL for Quicken Spell-Like Ability.

If I have Major Magic Selected for Shield, and take Quicken Spell-Like Ability for Shield, what happens when I use Bookish Rogue to change Shield?

Does the new Spell-Like Ability (Vanish) gain the Quicken Ability instead, swapping out the separate QSLA Shields for these? Do I have my copies of the Quicken Shield SLA still despite the Bookish Rogue feat swapping out my Shield SLA for Vanish? Do I lose QSLA altogether?

Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

In before Monster Feat stuff, I don't care for that, only what would happen.


It seems you make the choice when you select the feat. So I think it would only apply to the one you chose (in this case, Shield). If you switch it out, you still have the feat, it just doesn't do anything until you get Shield back.

Similar to having Power Attack and having STR get reduce below 13, you still have Power Attack, you just can't use it.
