Flurry, Duo, Steal Energy, or all of the above at the same time
Hello
A quick check : now when you use Flurry (or HSS or the Duo Attack) you get to finish your action (making the second attack with Flurry for example) even if the power is gone before resolution ends.
Now I want to make sure how this works with effects like Steal Energy
The rules says (emphasis' mine):
Quote
Game effects remain a part of the game only as long as the character continues to possess the power or ability. If a power or ability is countered or lost, all game effects of that power or ability immediately end, but any actions already in progress are resolved normally.
The question is : If I start an action using, let say, Flurry and Steal Energy, and then, because I healed 1 damage with the first attack I loose both Flurry and Steal Energy, can I (must I?) still use Steal Energy with the second attack ? The second attack is a free action but it is part of the original close-combat action.
Quote
FLURRY Give this character a close combat action. After the close combat attack resolves, it may make a second close combat attack as a free action.
BTW you do use the new combat value each time right ?
Edit : Oh ! and while we're at it, what about the Perplex ?
Quote
PERPLEX Give this character a free action to modify by +1 or –1 any combat value of a target character until the beginning of your next turn. A character using this power must be within range (minimum range 6) and line of fire to the target. If a target character is damaged or healed, the effect of Perplex on that character ends immediately.
Does the effect stops after the first attack in that case or does the above rule applies ?

I would say that once you lose steal energy after you heal you wouldn't get to use it again when you resolve the flurry/duo attack. My reasoning is that the action your resolving is flurry/duo attack NOT steal energy, but I don't really know for sure. As for the perplex I think even though you resolve the action you would lose the perplex since your dial changed, and you would use the current click your on for the attack not the click you start the attack with.
Flurry
Any powers that are not in use when the first attack is made with Flurry can‘t be used for the second attack. Any powers in use for the first attack are in use on the second attack unless the power has been lost.
So if you lose Steal Energy, then you don't get to use it again.
Same logic can be applied any instance of multiple attacks.
