[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6170438, member: 17106"] As [MENTION=6701124]Cadence[/MENTION] notes, Sp abilities were different from regular spells to begin with, so they don't necessarily have to be converted. However, it would be interesting to do so, but for monsters with lots of them, it would make them more powerful. Creature's with several spell-like abilities would gain the ability to spam one. In many cases, it would make no difference. It's common for creatures to have just one spell-like ability, in which cases, converting the uses to spell points would not change anything. It's also common particularly in PF for monsters to have at-will or constant abilities, which I assume would remain as such even in the case of a conversion. In fact, I'm seeing that even the high level outsiders have entries like this: If those uses per day were converted to spell points, the creature would receive a modest boost in flexibility, but most of his abilities are at-will anyway.
