I would like to hear of more evidence to prove that the King of the Dead was as you say just a scare tactic figure, & not capable of causing harm to the WK, who himself is neither living nor dead. Were not the Dead Army cursed by Isildur until they returned to fight against Sauron when the need next arised? It seems that there is more to this than you mention. I think it would be very difficult to answer what the Dead King was truly capable of.
