If nothing good comes from guessing the right threat, then players could actually be dis-incentivized to guess...after all, a wrong guess causes the threat to gain a terror ability. So why guess at all?I describe it as an alternative mechanic, because for some groups this just wouldn't fly. Such groups would probably be content either leaving mechanics out of horror altogether (leaving it up to storytelling) or using the fear/horror mechanics in the DMG and calling it a day. Nothing wrong with that.</blockquote>
