That is an interesting scenario, probably not the most effective, and a failed save will eventually break the chain., but I see no reason mechanically that it wouldn't work as each time creates a new turn, even though it's within another turn.

Basically it ends up being just like the "never-ending" cycle of djem so attacks - the "only way out" is a failed save.

So in your estimation, the "infinte loop" could not occur due to stacking?

1) Sly Moore, on her turn, activates Joruus via Dominate. Her turn is not over.

2) Joruus takes his turn (nested within Sly's turn). If he activates Sly Moore via commander effect at the end of his turn.

3) Sly Moore goes again, althought it is STILL her original turn:

Sly Moore
--->Joruus
------->Sly Moore

Since Joruus has already been affected by Dominate on this turn (technically, Sly's initial, still-unresolved turn), it cannot be used on him again.

Yes?

I personally don't see it that way as Dominate and Joruus' CE Each state the target takes a turn, which while nested within the initial turn is still a seperate turn in and of itself.

To illustrate how much of a new turn that is consider abilities that last until a characters next turn are deactivated when a character is dominated (which means this would actually be a very useful tactic when facing Bastilla), therefore the turn is an entirely seperate entity from any previous turn, it's just that it's position in the round has been altered from the norm.

That's a much better way of explaining it!

Afterall If you have Sly and a B'omarr Monk in the squad, Sly can dominate someone and the next activation the B'omarr can dominate that same character because they are 2 different turns - dominate/Joruus' CE creates a BRAND NEW turn for the targetted character so the way I see it stacking doesn't apply in this regard.

Valid reasoning, however, I must say that at the end of Joruus's turn he is no longer benefitting from Dominate (as his dominated turn ended) therefore he is susceptible to another dominate during the CE-induced turn of Sly Moore.
Just because the original turn hasn't fully concluded doesn't necessarily mean the benefits gained from that characters turn are still active.

As an example of abilities being concluded at anytime during a turn I offer:
If Joruus Force Dominates Xizor who attacks (which is reflected/Riposted/djem so/counterattack - depending on which Xizor - defeating the prince), Joruus cannot then use his CE to again activate Xizor (as he is defeated), nor if he used it on an Aqualish Assassin could they benefit from Xizor-induced black sun Grenades (as the loss of Xizor invalidates that ability).


In that regard Force Dominate or multiple uses of Dominate would not work for stacking purposes, however since Joruus' CE takes place after his turn concludes that reasoning doesn't apply.

The interesting question to ask is what does it mean CE's dont stack with themselves. Does that even apply to abilities that grant extra turns? The other point is that this CE has a SPECIFIC point of application. At the end of Joruus's turn couldn't the argument be made that when the NEW instance of the CE is applied to Sly, that it overwrites the OLD instance since CE's cannot stack with themselves? Hence Sly would only ever have 1 defeat waiting for him at the end of his turn. I can see both sides of the argument here.
