Thematic problem

[HoneyBadger]

I've wondered about that one too. I mean, it's not too much of an advantage to be able to devote your Pretender to the Void, as a Void summoner, is it? Considering it won't be able to cast spells, research, etc. while summoning. Ofcourse, R'lyeh LA is already far too powerful, but it seems a small benefit.

Personally, if it were up to me, I'd tie the Void to the life of the Pretender, and the Pretender to the life of the Void-as in, the Void doesn't function unless your Pretender is alive, and if your Pretender dies, you can't revive your Pretender-priests can't pray for Pretender resurrection-without holding on to the Void-lose your Capital, and you'd better get it back, in other words. Would make R'Lyeh that much more unique, and balanced.
