I agree that Hunteds (to coin a hero system term) is an excellent planning
hook, but its important that the GM use discretion when hounding his players
or resolving the hunted will quickly become A number one priority. This is

other is because the players have become annoyed at being hounded and want
to get rid of the hounder.
