Does paladin provoke attacks of opportunity when using detect evil as move action?

[JohnnyR]

Spell like abilities usually provoke. But they are also usually activated as a standard action.

[Johnico]

The Paladin would provoke, yes. If you look in the Magic section, the only casting time that never provokes are spells cast as a Swift action. Move action casts still provoke as normal.

[The Dandy Lion]

The detect evil class feature is a spell-like ability, so yes, it does.
