Does ability "Panpipes" can last to next turn?

Panpipes (Su)

Three times per day, a faun can use its masterwork panpipes to augment its spell-like abilities. Doing so is a swift action that increases the DC of the next spell-like ability it uses on its turn by +2.

I search the Nethys and there are two monsters uses a swift action to active its ability , but both of them have a sentence like "(if it is cast that round)" "the obcisidaemon uses that round"

Faun's ability just said "the next spell-like ability it uses on its turn" (not "this turn")

So,does ability "Panpipes" can last to next turn or even longer?

Thanks


Based on that wording, I would say that it does need to be the same turn.

Ok...sounds like I have to strong my grammar...

So, where can determine it on "the same turn" ?

more thanks... (I have to explain to my PC).


It's not grammar, it's content. Basically, if it didn't mean "on the same turn" it wouldn't bother to say "on its turn" at all. I can't think of anything in game that cares whether you use a SLA as an AoO.

However, it is definitely sloppy writing on their part and should have said "...it uses that turn by +2."
