Widen Spell-Like Ability (Monster)

The creature can use a spell-like ability with an increased area.

Prerequisite: Spell-like ability at caster level 8th.

Benefit: Choose one of the creature’s spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions below. The creature can use that ability as a widened spelllike ability three times per day (or less, if the ability normally usable only once or twice per day). When a creature uses a widened spell-like ability with a burst, emanation, line, or spread-shaped area, increase its area by 100%. For example, a devil with a fireball spell-like ability (which normally produces a 20-foot spread) that is widened now fills a 40-foot-radius spread. Saving throws and opposed rolls (such as the one made when a character casts dispel magic) are not affected. Spell-like abilities whose area is not a burst, emanation, line, or spread are not affected. The creature can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to half its caster level –3.

For a summary, see table below.

8th 18th 18th 18th 20th
9th 20th 20th 20th

For example, a creature that uses its spell-like abilities as a 10th-level caster can only widen spell-like abilities duplicating spells of 2nd level or lower.

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.
