Sure, it says so right on my character sheet!You don't lose a feat just because you don't fulfill a prerequisite anymore. You just can't use it for as long as that prerequisite remains unfulfilled. Nowhere in any PrC's requirements does it say "must be able to use all the feats that are listed above RIGHT NOW".If I'm a Blackguard and get Str damaged by a Shadow, so now I'm Str 12 until I get a Lesser Restoration. I can't use PA for the time being, but I sure as hell can use my Blackguard class features (spells etc.)! What's more, if I happen to gain enough XP to level up, I can take another Blackguard level just fine RIGHT NOW, because I do have the PA, Cleave, and Improved Sunder, even though I can't use them until that cleric gets his butt over here. Heck, he doesn't even have to cast Lesser Restoration, a simple Bull's Strength would be just fine. Or maybe he can lend me those Gauntlets of Ogre Strength of his, and I'll be great.[funnily, by RAW I couldn't take the Great Cleave feat RIGHT NOW even if  my levelup permits me to choose another feat. But no sane DM would  disallow it, I wager]Another question to you: do you really want to introduce even more bookkeeping into effects that temporarily change ability scores?</blockquote>
