Rider Evolutions

Rider Evolutions

Adds an annihilator evolution to ride on your mecharachnid forever, unlocking new talents.
Will make a golem version for alchemist in the future, maybe.
Would a writhing one ride on their WtW? Does that make any sense?

Doesn't work without Embers

Found another problem: if Embers of Rage isn't enabled, the addon chokes trying to modify the nonexistent Miasma Engine talent. Which I guess wasn't a problem before you added the Golem Rider evolution. ;)

Mecharachnid cat point not refunded?

Another thought: you make a point of refunding the talent points spent in the Steamtech/Mecharachnid tree when the player takes the Mecharachnid Rider evolution — but Steamtech/Mecharachnid is a locked tree for Annihilators, so the player is also spending a category point to unlock that tree, and that point isn't being refunded. Now, I could see that cat point being considered part of the "cost" of the evolution; if so, though, I'd encourage mentioning that explicitly in the description.

(Oh, and as a complete non sequitur, there's already precedent in the Mecharachnid Piloting talent for displaying the mecharachnid tile on top of the player tile, and I think it would look cool to use that for this evolution too.)

...oh.

...ah, sorry, hadn't actually activated the evolution when I posted that. :-} Double width is impressive looking. Wish there was a way it could show up on the online character sheet, though...

Um... 5 points in what talent?

So, this looks fun, but… one of the requirements for the Mecharachnid Rider prodigy is "invest 5 points in Mecharachnid Rider" — and I can confirm that no such talent exists, by that name or by the T_MECHARACHNID_RIDER talent ID you use internally. I'm guessing you meant 5 points in Mecharachnid Piloting?
