is the ability if a feat an effect... ie does improved natural attck work for a monk? if so then does the shifter feats that improve unarmed dmg improve a monks unarmed dmg?

A monk can get Imp Natural Attack, but it would be pointless to get Shifter feats. The reason for this is that the Shifter feats set what the damage is, while a monk's blows gain in power as they level. ImpNatural Attack just makes the damage one step higher.

ok shifter razor claw increases your unarmed dmg from 1d3 to 1d4 due to claws now if you apply the same theory to a monk then it would also increase his dmg!

Don't have the feat in front of me but if it sounds like it's giving you a claw attack, which isn't the same thing as an unarmed strike, which means it doesn't scale with monk damage and isn't a monk weapon.
