Remove the crab backpack from costume creation if we cant use it

[Galaxy Brain]

So, this broke my heart to make a costume with the crab backpack... only to load the character into mercy and see that I could not use it since I'm a brute.

 

To avoid confusion, can it not appear on the menu if you cannot use it? (Or better yet... allow it to be unlocked or something? :D )

I was also pretty heart-broken to make a character, which needed something like the Crab Backpack to work (Something arm-like on the back that comes up over the shoulders). Without seeing the code, I'm not sure why the restriction to only show it for Crab Spiders is even necessary. I get why it's necessary to be sure that Crab Spiders always have a backpack (for Crab power animations), but it doesn't seem like it would be problematic to do the opposite; just have it be there and do nothing like it's handled in the character creator. At the very least, it should be hidden for archetypes that can't use it.

So far as I can tell, you cannot make any sort of Wolf Spider without the pack. I find that odd.

 

I think (if what I've gathered from other posts is correct) there's a limitation in the code with build branching where if you've ever taken a Crab power ever, you're forced to always wear the Crab Backpack because it's necessary for some of the powers to function.
