Message: <blockquote data-quote="Visigani" data-source="post: 5698271" data-attributes="member: 6676235">Some feats have prerequisites. Your character must have theindicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus,or other quality designated in order to select or use that feat. Acharacter can gain a feat at the same level at which he or shegains the prerequisite. For example, at 3rd level, Krusk, the halforcbarbarian, could spend 1 skill point on the Ride skill(gaining his first rank in Ride) and select the Mounted Combatfeat at the same time.A character can’t use a feat if he or she has lost a prerequisite.For example, if your character’s Strength drops below 13because a ray of enfeeblement spell, he or she can’t use the PowerAttack feat until the prerequisite is once again met.Bold is mine "Use the Power attack feat". This includes using the power attack feato to qualify for prestige classes.Failing this, use the smell test. Can someone who is feebleminded and unable to cast high level spells on account of being a drooling idiot still use that caster level to acquire that prestige class?The plain answer is "No". If you're slobbering on yourself and unable to, you know, form a coherent thought, then you shouldn't be able to turn around and take a level in arch mage.Do you still "have" those caster levels? Yes. However, you are unable to use them due to your lowered ability scores and therefore cannot qualify for the prestige class. Because of this you lose the class features and the like that prestige class offers.</blockquote>
