Extrapolating it further is your interpretation.The FAQ also says you can polymorph into a templated creature, when the RAW specifically says you can't. I agree that it would have been simple enough to say something to the effect of "increased ability scores do not allow you to qualify for feats", but they didn't. Doesn't prove to me that they meant it and just didn't think it was an often enough occurance to warrant mentioning. They also made LOTS of other omisions and mistakes, otherwise there wouldn't be a FAQ nor Errata. So, in one case, the text supports your idea and in another it supports mine. I can agree with that. No clear answer = do it however you feel is right. You obviously would let it serve as a prerequisite for a PrC, and I would not. Can't we all just get along?Well, I'm not ok with it. I see it as trying to exploit an ambiguous wording of the rules.Except you would never answer ANY of my hypothetical questions leading up to your admission, instead arguing semantics and avoiding the question. Polymorph isn't an enhancement bonus, Divine Power doesn't key on caster level, blah blah blah. I only kept coming up with scenarios to get you to answer the basic question, and it took forever.So, in your view, a DM must specifically insert a rule that defines the word "temporary"?? Then further, you need a rule that says that temporary bonuses provide temporary effects? Noooo, you have no need for "common sense", obvioiusly.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> It's fun to lose a feat in an Anti-magic Shell? It's fun to lose access to the benefits of a PrC because you rolled a "1" on a save and fried your Gauntlets of Ogre Power? Riiiight...../roll</blockquote>
