Is there a specific point in which the requirement for a feat is checked for it to be used or must it always be met?
To be able to use the Twin Takedown feat the requirement is "You are wielding two melee weapons, each in a different hand", and it says "[...]. Make two Strikes against your hunted prey, one with each of the required weapons. [...]"
Now, if the user were to have two shortswords to start, struck with the one in the first hand but lost it for some reason would they still be able to continue with the second strike, even if they wouldn't meet the requirement anymore?
What if instead the user had two daggers with a returning rune on each? It would meet the requirement at the start (and also doesn't specify whether the strike is melee or ranged) but as soon as the first strike is made the thrown weapon would become ranged and "fail" the check. Then as the strike ends the dagger would fly back in the hand of the user, becoming a melee weapon again and thus the requirement would again be met for the second strike.
So, if the requirement must be met for the whole duration then you wouldn't be able to strike again in the first case and you wouldn't be able to throw the weapon in the second case, but if this weren't the case and the condition must be met only at the start you would be to make the second strike and use a thrown weapon.
