Can constant spell-like abilities be used on others?


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Might be something I'm missing, but I checked the Magic chapter in my Rulebook and the Spell-Like Abilities text in Universal Monster Rules, and I can't work out if constant SLAs can be cast on other creatures.

Context: I'm building a winter witch who gets endure elements (cold only) as a constant SLA from his Cold Flesh ability*. I know I can renew this SLA as a swift action (presumably on myself), and that it should last 24 hours - but can I cast it on other people in my party? Would it still be a swift action to cast it on them?

*Now that I look at it, cold flesh is extraordinary yet somehow grants a spell-like ability???


I think the implication is that it is completely passive, and affects the Winter Witch exclusively. Calling it a spell like ability seems confusing, but other than that, it appears to be Extraordinary and I feel intent is to treat it as such. (Undispellable, functions in antimagic, etc)


As the text reads, it works only on the witch, since it is an effect of her condition.

Cold Flesh is a state of being,therefore (ex), since you cannot remove what someone is. From that state the witch gets several benefits, which are defined as SLA/(su).
