Invaders should be at a disadvantage (for lore reseaons)
Whenever I hear people make comments about how invaders "deserve to" or "should" be at a disadvantage, it's always coming from a place of salt and bad (red)manners , but I feel lore wise it fits.
whether as a bloody finger or Recusant, you're using fingers to invade people's world, the same method which the Golden Order encourages that good old jolly cooperation, which is why you can usually only invade people who have already summoned (or used taunter's tounge to give you the Golden Rasberry).
It's no excuse for the completely bland invasion system though, like come on Fromsoft, why can't we do more to differentiate Bloody Fingers from recusants. Make the Fingers like the Bone Mounders and let them get rewards for killing ANYONE, even other invaders. Give recusants a temporary rune arc effect when killing summons, or maybe let them summon more recusants instead, don't let Mogwyns simpletons get all the cool invader effects, it won't take away from your desired underdog fantasy either!
