HI all, so thanks to those who gave me feedback on my questions about options for a low level campaign. I have decided upon a Totemist, we are starting at 1st level. Any recommendations for first feat? Also does anyone know where besides MoI I can find Soulmelds? Is there an list somewhere of all of them?

Totemist (Low Level) questions

You can find a few in Dragon Magic. Word is, they aren't all that impressive. Never saw them used, though, prove me wrong.

Plenty. There's Improved Natural Attack, (Improved) Multiattack, Beast Strike, Sanctify/Vile Natural Attack, just to name the most prevalent ones.

Basically when you play a totemist, almost everything you'll need is in Magic of Incarnum. They're a very fun class to play.
Kruthik Claws was the meld I saw most often from low-level totemists who wanted a melee build.

Would Share Soulmeld work with a Wild Cohort? If so, pick something you can ride that has claws.

Strictly speaking it doesn't seem like it would since Wild Cohort doesn't grant any spell sharing ability. However, I imagine a willing DM could OK them working together.
