Quicken Spell-Like Ability (Monster)Source Pathfinder RPG Bestiary pg. 315 This creature can use one of its spell-like abilities with next to no effort.
Prerequisites: Spell-like ability at CL 10th or higher.
Benefit: Choose one of the creature’s spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions described in this feat. The creature can use the chosen spell-like ability as a quickened spell-like ability three times per day (or less, if the ability is normally usable only once or twice per day).
Using a quickened spell-like ability is a swift action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The creature can perform another action—including the use of another spell-like ability (but not another swift action)—in the same round that it uses a quickened spell-like ability. The creature may use only one quickened spell-like ability per round.
The creature can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to 1/2 its caster level (round down) – 4. For a summary, see the table below.
A spell-like ability that duplicates a spell with a casting time greater than 1 full round cannot be quickened.
Spell Level | Caster Level to Empower | Caster Level to Quicken | 0 | 4th | 8th | 1st | 6th | 10th | 2nd | 8th | 12th | 3rd | 10th | 14th | 4th | 12th | 16th | 5th | 14th | 18th | 6th | 16th | 20th | 7th | 18th | — | 8th | 20th | — | 9th | — | — |
Normal: The use of a spell-like ability normally requires a standard action (at the very least) and provokes an attack of opportunity.
Special: This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, the creature can apply it to a different one of its spell-like abilities.
