A barbarian can fly into a rage a certain number of times per day. In a rage, a barbarian temporarily gains (...)


See that (Ex) up there? That means the ability is extraordinary, which means it is not (Su) supernatural, and also not (Sp) spell-like.

Rage is fun in that it is not a spell like ability so much as it is an ability that is like a spell.
