It's complete warrior, page 16... it's spelled out clear as day:Meeting Class Requirements: It’s possible for a characterto take levels in a prestige class and later be in a positionwhere the character no longer qualifies to be a member of theclass. An alignment change, levels lost because of characterdeath, or the loss of a magic item that granted an importantability are examples of events that can make a character ineligibleto advance farther in a prestige class.If a character no longer meets the requirements for aprestige class, he or she loses the benefit of any class featuresor other special abilities granted by the class. The characterretains Hit Dice gained from advancing in the class as well asany improvements to base attack bonus and base save bonusesthat the class provided.Having 13 Str is a requirement for certain prestige classes because 13 str is a requirement for power attack, which is a requirement for prestige classes.It says "An alignment change, levels lost because of characterdeath, or the loss of a magic item that granted an importantability are examples of events that can make a character ineligibleto advance farther in a prestige class."Note: "Loss of an ability". Even if you still have the feat power attack, you no longer have the ABILITY to power attack. If you lack the ability you lose the class.</blockquote>
