Cruel Cage of Steel - Combat Advantage

[brendan candries]

Does this power grant CA, due to dazed/stunned condition applied by the power itself, while being executed?

e.g.

1st attack: no CA, hit, opponent dazed
2nd attack with CA (same opponent) ...

or do the status effects get applied at the end of the power execution? In case of CCoS, after 3 attacks?

really, noone?

I'm going to say "no", but I'm not expert. If they were secondary and tertiary attacks as part of the same power the condition would apply during the first attack and be there when you make the second attack, third attack, etc. With this power, it is not broken down into 1st. 2nd and 3rd, so it's all happening at once. Though I'm sure someone on here can explain it better given time.

You might want to post the source and text of the power. Not everyone uses the Character Builder, and there's 7000+ powers out there -- I could even have the book, have seen the power before, but not remember it due to the bloat.

All of the status effects are applied at the very end. The order of text in a power is a rough guideline for how things happen. In this case, you make three attacks, and depending on how many hits you get on what targets, apply status effects accordingly.

If the power lists the 3 as
Target: one creature
attack: x vs y
hit: z damage, target is immobilized
effect: make a secondary attack against the target
secondary attack: x vs y
hit: z damage, target is dazed
effect: make a tertiary attack against the target
attack: x vs y
hit: z damage, target is stunned

Then yes, each subsequent attack would treat the target as being under the effect of the previously inflicted statuses.

If, however, it's listed as

Target: one creature
attack: 3 attacks vs X
hit: Y damage
effect: if the target was hit by 1 attack, it is immobilized. If it is hit by 2 attacks, it is dazed. If it was hit by 3 attacks it is stunned.

Then you perform all three attacks before applying any statuses.

This.


However, you're a ranger. Why aren't you attacking with your bow?
