[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 2792687, member: 18093"] Where have I ever stated anything to lead you to believe I think that it won't??? Let me say it again, in case everyone missed it the first 50 or so times I've said it: Temporary modifiers to a character do not/should not/will not enable a character to qualify for a permenant ability. Race, ability score, ability to cast a certain type of spell or certain level of spell, having a set rank in a skill, class level, NONE of these prerequisites can/should/will enable a character to take a feat/PrC unless the baseline, unmodified, "naked" character sans items or spells in effect, could do so. There is no Power Attack feat to take away with a Ray of Enfeeblement if the target of the spell never had a base strength of 13 with which to qualify for the feat in the first place. [B]IF[/B] (and that's a big "if") I ever agreed that were it possible to do so, I would certainly agree that losing the magic item that put the character's strength to 13+ in the first place would, yes indeed, [U]would [/U] result in losing the feat until something modified it's strength score back above 13. If the minimum score for these types of feats were only require to make the feat work, instead of the level required to simply choose the feat, they wouldn't call them "PRErequisits". In such case, you could choose a feat with any ability score at will, and just not be able to use it until such time as you, through magic or otherwise, gained the minimum score of said ability.
