But, it would seem that there should be no difference between the two.I do not think you can use this to argue that WotC did this intentionally. I think it just slipped through the cracks since early PrC acquisition tends to be a lot more potent and potentially game unbalancing than individual feats. They also put item cost and wealth by character levels in order to balance out treasure as well. Some aspects of the game are just more likely to be abused than others. I think the reason people are comfortable with items being used to assist in the prerequisites for feats are that feats in general are not typically viewed as unbalancing.</blockquote>
