Has anyone ever come across a list of ways to pick up Spell Like Abilities? I've seen at least one thread about feats that grant them, but nothing for classes or PC races. Considering that SLAs can be used in lieu of spell-casting to satisfy certain prerequisites, I had thought something like this might already exist, but my google-fu seems to have failed me on this on.

EDIT:
THIS THREAD (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?318492-Feats-that-grant-spells-spell-like-abilities) gives many of the feats.
THIS THREAD (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?125175-3-5-SLAs-and-how-to-get-them) gives a list of base and prestige classes, feats, races, and templates.
THIS THREAD (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?510902-Things-that-gain-more-SLAs-as-they-increase-in-HD) gives a list of templates.

It would be a worthwhile endeavour, but the list would be quite massive: the number of PrCs that give the odd "1/day SLA" here and there is huge.

If I get some time, I'd be willing to pitch in and add some data.


Races
Aasimar (LA +1): Daylight 1/day
Dwarf, Duergar (LA +1): Enlarge Person & Invisibility 1/day each
Elf, Drow (LA +1): Dancing Lights, Darkness & Faerie Fire 1/day each
Fey'ri (RoF, LA +2 or LA +3): Charm Person, Clairaudience/Clairvoyance, Darkness, Detect Thoughts, Dimension Door, Enervation or Suggestion 1/day each*
Kobold (RoTD): Draconic Rite of Passage*
Gnome: Dancing Lights, Ghost Sound, Prestidigitation & Speak with animals (burrowing only) 1/day each
Gnome, Chaos (RoS, LA +1): Daze, Entropic Shield, Flare & Prestidigtation 1/day each
Gnome, Ice (Fr): Dancing Lights, Prestidigitation, Ray of Frost & Speak with animals (arctic mammals only) 1/day each
Gnome, Svirfneblin (LA +3): Blindness/Deafness, Blur & Disguise Self 1/day each
Gnome, Wavecrest (St): Dancing Lights, Know Direction, Prestidigitation & Speak with animals (sea birds only) 1/day each
Gnome, Whisper (RoS): Ghost Sound, Mage Hand, Message & Silence 1/day each
Tiefling (LA +1): Darkness 1/day
Uldra (FR, LA +1): ray of Frost 3/day; Speak With Animals & Touch of Fatigue 1/day each

Well, in terms of base classes, the ones that get the most SLAs are Factotum, Warlock and DFA.

Thurbane, you do recall you (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?125175-3-5-SLAs-and-how-to-get-them)already made a list like this, right?

I also did a similar one (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?510902-Things-that-gain-more-SLAs-as-they-increase-in-HD)focused just on templates

Sweet! Not sure why my Google queries didn't pick these up, but that is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping was out there. Thanks!

I had a vague recollection, but I've been here so long I sometimes forget.

I recall seeing a good one for undead (spellstitched, I think it was. I haven't played in a very long time so My knowledge is fading). Shame I was never able to find a way to get it on a living critter.

Here's a strange one...PH53 under the rules for familiars...it lists a (Sp) ability that allows a familiar's master to Scry on his familiar...

What seems strange about it is that I think the Spell Like Ability is the familiar's ability, not the master's. The way it is set up it looks like the rules grant the SLA to the familiar, although the master is the one who would activate it. So if Scry as a SLA would count as a prerequisite for something I think only the familiar would qualify. Am I crazy, or is that actually how the rules work in this case?

In my signature is an index of spellcasting prestige classes. I've included notes for each one on any spell-like abilities they offer. Well, the ones that mimic spells, anyway—of course a lot of other class abilities are (Sp).

Well, in terms of base classes, the ones that get the most SLAs are Factotum, Warlock and DFA.

Technically, those classes each get significantly fewer than Truenamer. Utterances are SLAs, so a Truenamer 20 gets a total of 29 unique SLAs from their class.
