Incarnum and feats

[Andor]

Many of the Totemists powers grant natural attacks. Claws and bites, even tentacles and tails.

Can a Totemist gain and use feats that require natural attacks? For example could one learn Multiattack for use with Girallon Arms?

I don't see why not, but that's just my opinion. Since the soulmeld grants natural attacks, it technically meets the prerequisite of the feat. Others may disagree on the basis that a soulmeld is like a permanent magic item, and they don't like the idea of using magic items to qualify for feats.

The real question is, will this re-open the whole "Can monks take Improved Natural Attack?" can of worms again?

What can of worms? The FAQ says "Yes".

Not that it has any basis in the ruling, but I would certainly allow it. It's not overpowered on its own and you can't use it when you don't qualify for it. Actually, it seems like a sub-optimal choice to me, so have at it IMC.
