Re: extrude circular face out of cylinder?

I assume you're talking about a poly cylinder, here.

The 'extrude' command should do what you're looking for, without needing to increase the number of divisions on the caps. Just extrude the faces, then scale the newly extruded faces down, then extrude them again--that will provide the 'stair-step' or 'telescope' pattern you're looking for.

Alternately, you could set the cylinder to have a high number of divisions on the cap, then select all but the largest ring and extrude... deselect the next largest ring and extrude again... and repeat for as many stages as you want.
