Can i use gear to meet a feat stats requirement

[Thormind]

A feat requires 13 int. If i have 11 base int and +2 from a headband, can i take the feat? Say the answer is yes, if later my Int drop below 13 because i unequip de headband, what happens with the feat?

Tks!

1) Yes.

2) You still have the feat, but it is unusable.

BBT is right.

Permanent Bonuses: Ability bonuses with a duration greater than 1 day actually increase the relevant ability score after 24 hours. Modify all skills and statistics related to that ability. This might cause you to gain skill points, hit points, and other bonuses. These bonuses should be noted separately in case they are removed.

Prerequisites

Some feats have prerequisites. Your character must have the indicated ability score, class feature, feat, skill, base attack bonus, or other quality designated in order to select or use that feat. A character can gain a feat at the same level at which he gains the prerequisite.

A character can't use a feat if he loses a prerequisite, but he does not lose the feat itself. If, at a later time, he regains the lost prerequisite, he immediately regains full use of the feat that prerequisite enables.

If the feat is granted by a class feature that says you gain the feat even if you do not meet the prerequisites (or that you can ignore the prerequisites, etc), then you can still use it even if your Intelligence drops.

Oh, and Intelligence is properly called an ability score. In Pathfinder, a stat block is a condensed collection of all of a creature's capabilities, not just ability scores.
