Description: This creature can use one of its spell-like abilities with next to no effort.
Prerequisites
Description: Spell-like ability at CL 10th or higher.
Benefits
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.
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.
