If you lose access to the ring, or to the feat you may no longer use power attack. If power attack is a qualifier for the prestige class you are no longer qualified for that prestige class.Saying you HAVE power attack you just don't have access to it is the same as saying you HAVE a ring of power attack it's just been temporarily broken into pieces. In either case, item or intrinsic ability you NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO POWER ATTACK. You may not use it as a feat, whether to qualify for a prestige class or in combat.</blockquote>
