Question regarding the Draco Rune, and this may extend to other pieces of gear/equipment/runes that are similar.
When I use this rune for the effect that deals 3 Harm to all enemies, can I choose to have this Harm apply before enemies have dealt Harm to me?
The core RUNE rulebook, page 32, seems to indicate that any actions that aren't moving or attacking can be resolved before or after Harm is dealt from the attacks of the current round. So my question can also be worded as this: does activating a Harm-dealing rune count as one of these other actions that takes place whenever I want during this phase of combat; or must I apply this Harm simultaneously with all characters' attacks as usual?
My thinking: activating a rune which deals Harm means it should also be applied simultaneously with other attacks. I've been playing it the other way and thinking it was unbelievably powerful, but if my realization is correct, then it's a bit more reasonable in power level (although still very strong imo).
