Monk Style Feats - Extraordinary, Supernatural, or Spell-like?

[ShakaUVM]

There's a number of monk style feats that produce "magical" effects, like Efreeti Touch, which emits a cone of fire, or Marid Coldsnap which shoots a 30' line of frozen water from your fists.

Are these abilities extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like?

[Turin the Mad]

Effects like the ones you mention are (Su). Most feats are (ex), while a few are (Sp). The latter are often specifically called out in the feat description while the supernatural effects are hit or miss.

If nothing else, such effects that draw on a pool (such as ki or rage) are logically classified as the same type/nature as the pool itself unless the ability/effect/feat states otherwise.

[ShakaUVM]

They operate by expending charges of stunning fist or elemental fist, which are (Ex) abilities... but they seem (Su).

It would be nice if the rules actually specified... =)

[Turin the Mad]

It would, wouldn't it? :)

Thus for the FAQ:

Is Stunning Fist a supernatural ability or an extraordinary ability? What about Elemental Fist, Style feats that generate seemingly supernatural effects such as Efreeti Touch and Marid Coldsnap and similar abilities, feats and effects?
