Furtive Chase Suggestions
As a person that played a lot of TCGs back in the day, I honestly love half of Furtive Chase: "When a person rescues your Obsession from the hook, the rescuer becomes your new Obsession." It is a combo extender. It promotes non-tunneling gameplay because if you're doing a "Target Your Obsession" build, you're going to want as many chances to get your Obsession hooked as possible.
It's the SECOND part of Furtive Chase that I take issue with. Specifically the downside.
"Each time you hook your Obsession, gain a token stacking to four times that reduces your Terror Radius by four meters per token while in chase. If your Obsession dies, lose all of your tokens."
This is too big of a flaw for what you get. The requirement of needing to be in chase for the Terror Radius reduction on top of needing to keep track of if you're Obsession is deathook in order to keep your power is a pain in the ass. As such I offer these three suggestions for how to change it.
1:) Keep it as it is now where you only can lose a maximum of 16 meters while in chase, but have it so that if your Obsession dies, it functions like Dying Light and just turns off, retaining your current stacks until you get a new Obsession.
2: Keep the penalty of losing all the stacks, but have the TR reduction always active and not potentially stack with other effects that reduce your terror radius.
3: Keep the penalty, keep the effect only working in chase, change the amount of distance reduced to 25% per token and at four tokens you become Undetectable.
Anyways just wanted to toss this out there and see what stuck.

I think only the first suggestion would work, and it should be like. I don't know why it isn't.
The second suggestion throws Monitor & Abuse right out the window, and even stacks, thus making Killers with 24-meter TRs Undetectable.
The third suggestion could work if it wasn't for existence of Beast of Prey. Please, someone give this perk some love. :(
