If a creature gains a template that grants spell-like abilities (such as half-fiend), would it be able to use those abilities if it's newly modified Int and Wis are both 11 or less? I know they are able to use higher level spells than their caster level may normally allow. In the case of ability score minimums, the only thing the template says is "a half-fiend with an Intelligence or Wisdom score of 8 or higher has spell-like abilities depending on its Hit Dice". According to that sentence it would be able to use all of them.
The creature in question would be gaining everything up to and including Horrid Wilting. If it was a spellcaster, this would require it to have a Wisdom of 18+ in order to cast it. Its Wisdom score is 11. Does it still get to use all of these spell-like abilities, and if so, is that fair compared to a spellcaster of the same hit dice and ability score, who could not cast those spells?
