Stutter-step question

Hi,

The advanced celerity text, states that this is a strike AND a dodge. Take Acrobatics, for example, which says "dodge with an additional strike". This leads me to believe that both effects of Stutter-Step resolve on the same window (the dodge one).

Now, to the question: Since dodges resolve first than strike: combat ends, shouldn't the strike portion of Stutter-Step inflict damage regardless of combat ends?

Thanks for your imput.

SCE has higher priority than dodge in combat.
edit: Wait, do they have the same priority? Not that it matters.

Dodge has higher priority than s:ce, but that doesn't matter for this question since the dodge part of the strike does not do the damage, it is both a strike: dodge AND a hand strike, the hand strike part does the damage and that part has no special priority.

If that’s the case, does this ever have any practical significance?
Are there SCE+other effects out there?
I know there’s a “HS, then end after resolving”-strike too, but I’m assuming that just ends combat after the HS is dodged.

Several. Some examples are Catatonic Fear, Oubliette, Unholy Penanace and Loving Agony.
