These feats all have at least one prerequisite that is not normally available to player characters, such as three arms or the ability to fly. If you are playing a creature with a monster race your DM may allow you to choose one of these feats, although the power ratings are based on their use by NPCs and may be dramatically unbalancing for player characters.
