[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2885438, member: 31734"] INA does not apply to a 'type' of weapon, it applies to [I]this natural weapon[/I]. I commented earlier about the 'claw' vs. 'claws' distinction. I don't read INA to be applied to a generic type of natural weapon that should the creature ever possess any similar type of weapon, the feat applies. Note that types of natural weapons are clearly defined, yet INA does not use that terminology. If it did, I would agree with you. The difference in our opinions comes from the use of the word 'forms'. You interpret that to mean 'type'. And that's a reasonable choice. In fact, I guess I would have to concede to your interpretation based on the M-W definition "the component of a thing that determines its kind." That's closer to 'type' than a specific thing. As an odd example (because I can't think of a better one) to better explain my rationale, and without the books on hand at the moment, I'm sure there's a Graft of some sort that gives a creature a claw attack. If you add that graft to a tiger, the tiger does not gain INA with the graft IMO. IYO, it does. [/QUOTE]
