[QUOTE="dkilgo, post: 520571, member: 8967"] This states exactly what I was trying to say in my post. Perhaps you I didn't make it clera enough for you. Please reread my post. No, I did read into just enough to understand what they were saying. It appears that I may have mistated myself. You did read into it enough. I understand that, now. I guess I should have left the HD part of the post out. I retract that statement. Well, to tell you the truth, I did miss that part of thier reply. No they are not. They are NOT spells! They are psionics. A totally different system. Lets take the Cerebrelith as an example. If you look at the description of the Cerebrelith's abilities then you will see that the Cerebrelith has three different Special Attacks. They are Psionics, SPELL-LIKE ABILITIES, Summon Tanar'ri. The Psionics are kept sepperate for probably more than one reason, but the biggest I could see is that they ARE different. So, hence, psionics and spell-like abilities are not the same thing. Because, if they were then they would have been grouped in the same category. Could you please expalin to me your rationale on this one. I am wondering how you think that a spell-like ability does not require the use of the weave. If you are going to quote text then lets see it. If not what is your reasoning? A spell-like ability, as stated in the DMG on page 71, states that spell-like abilities are indeed magical. Hence, the use of the weave. [i]They need to come out with official feats for psionic-like abilities, and label these creatures powers as psionic-like abilities to make your argument stand with me. [/i] This is what I was trying to say. Not in this post you didn't. You said that, on several occations, in my living room when you came over. Think about it, and you will understand. refer to afore mentioned answer. [/QUOTE]
