05-07-05, 05:28 AM If a summoned monster has an ability it can only use a limited number of times per day, would it always have that ability available when you summon it?

For example, suppose I summon an Avoral (using SMVII) because I want it to heal me using its Lay On Hands supernatural ability. This ability is only 1/day for the Avoral, so surely there is a possibility it might have already used it up on its home plane?
