Whats a Charater?

[Semanar]

Your sarcasm WAS detected and appreciated, rest assured .
Declarations aside, problem is, when you Run, you are Harried. Does it apply here too?

I would say that they are Harried, starting on their turn after the successful Effect Test, until they roll a successful Wil test or are out of line of sight. Although, I've never had anyone target the guy that was screaming and running for the hills.

The target would have to declare Running on the next turn. So this usually doesn't come up the first turn. Especially if the target already acted.
Note the Harried only starts the moment you Run (at Initiative), so doesn't apply if you declare Running, but make a WIL Test and aren't affected any more.

In the interest of keeping it simple, you can skip all the formalities of declaring etc., because usually, no one's going to run after the target and attack at the same time etc..
