True, but he'll have spent 20 Hero Points on it, so it had better be useful.

10 per option seems punitive. After all, he started off with 15 in the ability (I did character generation slightly diferently for this campaign), so he'd have almost no chance of guessing right between only 3 options untill he'd spent more than 10 HPs.
On ballance, I think 5 per is about right.
