Any monster with a psi-like ability will have it listed whether they're 1 or multiple times per day, or at will. And they're also automatically augmented according to the monster's manifester level.

They are instead augmented for free up to max manifester level of Psi-like ability (usually listed what manifester).

jlpinli40 01-24-08, 11:07 AM	thanks for all the imput i know that creatures with psi like abilities dont have power point ,but iam working on a project and need suggetions on how to figure out power points for these monsters .
Mindolin 01-24-08, 11:22 AM	That's the point they do not have ANY power points, unless specified in the monster's stat block, and if they do, they are listed as manifesting as an "x level Y", where X is the level, and Y is the class. In that case, they gain power points exactly as a member of that class.

It would probably help to know why these creatures with psi-like ability need power points.
Bacris 01-24-08, 12:00 PM	Multiply their ML by the number of times per day they can manifest the power. Of course, this only works for those with per day abilities. Example: phthisic, ML 6 6 3/day abilities - 108 pps 2 1/day abilities - 12 pps 120 pps total Of course, not all powers "scale" to 6 power points, so it's a quick and dirty way of doing it and, as above, doesn't work for at will abilities, since that makes them, for all intents and purposes, infinite pps.
