Limited Use Spell-Like Abilities


Rules Questions


Apologies if this has already been asked, I couldn’t find it on the forums.

My question is how the daily uses of a creature’s spell-like abilities works.
For example, if there is a creature that has “3/day- ethereal jaunt, greater invisibility” listed under spell-like abilities, does this mean they can use each one three times a day, or that the daily uses of each can’t exceed 3 (e.g. two uses of ethereal jaunt and one use of greater invisibility)? My guess is the second one, since that’s how spells are listed for spontaneous casters, but I wasn’t quite sure.


For SLA's, you can use each of them that many times each day. completely separate from all of the others. So, your example creature could use Ethereal Jaunt and Greater Invisibility three times each.

Spontaneous casters have everything tied into slots by level, but SLA's are better thought of as their own unique powers. If you get a new SLA, it generally doesn't interact with any others you have (off the top of my head, I can't think of a single example where they do).
