[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 9492101, member: 6748898"] Yes, the multiclass rules specify that the unspecified "level" requirements of cantrips apply to total levels for multiclass characters but they don't specify that this is true of feat prerequisites. A point in favour of it is that multiclassing is complicated but the multiclassing rules are only 2 pages long plus the "as a multiclass character" section at the beginning of each class. One can infer then that they didn't have the space to specify these sorts of things. A point against it is that multiclassing is lopsided. The tradeoff to gaining the low level abilities of other classes that make great combos with another class is that you don't get high level features of your main class. Gaining extra epic boons isn't going to help out the person who wants to make a multiclassed character for thematic reasons because that character is already terrible and probably discarded by that point. So all it helps is the person who has figured out the combo that makes them stronger and then they get even stronger. If you are creating NPC characters using PC rules then you are locking yourself into an unnecessary box and that probably shouldn't be considered when evaluating the rules as you are effectively house ruling NPCs.
