Spell-Like Abilities & Use Magic Device


Rules Questions


So, if a spell is on my class spell list, I can use a scroll/wand of that spell without the usual UMD check (ie cleric using a wand of clw without a check). Does having the spell as a spell-like ability allow the same thing?

This is all I can find atm. Which would mean that SLA does not allow you to ignore UMD. I'll dig further to confirm.

EDIT: Here's the relevant FAQ, which says "no".


That was my conclusion also, but I figured there might be someone who remembered some ruling in some obscure book about it. Thanks for the effort.

Edit: thanks for the faq link as well.
