Message: <blockquote data-quote="reiella" data-source="post: 1734591" data-attributes="member: 160">There are many ways to become unable to "perform actions", beyond simply hitting a 0 point in an ability score.  And while it might be fun to extrapolate that being dazed or dying should reduce the character's strength to zero and somehow become an object because they can't take action.  It's not really too reasonable.Also interestingly enough, if you read Hypersmurf's other comments on this thread, in 3.5 there is nothing to restrict a dead critter from actually acting.Typically, I ignore any attempts at rules obfuscation that occur as a result of splat books.  They try to clarify, and ultimately end up just confusing the matter further with nonsensical versions that conflict with usually itself, the RAW, and common sense (The silliness of Complete Divine and 'the soul' being a good example there of).However, for this instance, loss of strength would not precipitate a loss of requirement.  You still have the feat in question, you just can't use it.  Unless the prestige class in question has an ability score requirement (very rare) this becomes moot.  The requirement rule primarily is for alignment restrictions, virtual feats, and magical qualification (ie, requirement Cleave feat, and you have a weapon that grants you the Cleave feat while you wield it).</blockquote>
