When his Dex restores itself in a few days, he would then get the abilities of the PrC.But, if he permanently lost Dex, then I would not allow it until he reacquires that Dex (e.g. Restoration spell). To me, this is no different than wanting to change class into Paladin and the day before you made level, your alignment gets changed. Until it is back to LG, you just cannot take the Paladin class.The rules state that if you lose a requirement of a PrC, you lose the special abilities. Personally, I do not think that feats should be an exception to this rule. The lose of the use of the feat is tantamount to the lose of the feat for this purpose IMO.</blockquote>
