I keep looking in older threads around here, and a lot of them say that supernatural abilities do not cost XP. Where is the text that says this? The SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#supernaturalAbilities) says:
Supernatural Abilities (Su)
Supernatural abilities are magical and go away in an antimagic field but are not subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or to being dispelled by dispel magic. Using a supernatural ability is a standard action unless noted otherwise. Supernatural abilities may have a use limit or be usable at will, just like spell-like abilities. However, supernatural abilities do not provoke attacks of opportunity and never require Concentration checks. Unless otherwise noted, a supernatural ability has an effective caster level equal to the creature’s Hit Dice. The saving throw (if any) against a supernatural ability is:
10 + ½ the creature’s HD + the creature’s ability modifier (usually Charisma).
...but it says nothing about XP costs, meaning that any spell converted to a supernatural ability would retain any such costs it might have had.
Am I correct on this, or is there a passage somewhere proving my suspicions incorrect?
