More Biblical Characters

This mod adds 6 new characters (and tainted alts) inspired by people from the Bible. It also adds 2 active items and 5 passive items.

Book of Job
This is a 12-room active that appears in the Angel Room and Library pools.
While held, it turns touched hearts into blue flies, which prevents healing.
When used, it fully heals the player and gives a soul heart for each red heart gained.

Book of Sacrifice
This is a 12-room active that appears in the Devil Room and Library pools.
When used, it removes one random passive from the player and spawns two new items from the sacrificed item’s room pool.
Both items can be taken, and quest items will not be sacrificed.

Sheathed Sword
This is a passive that appears in the Shop pool.
It gives the player limited tears.
When the player tries to shoot a tear without any ammo, the player takes damage and gains Spirit Sword for the rest of the floor.
The player’s tears are stronger when the player is low on ammo.
Ammo can be regained by shooting enemies and campfires and by taking damage.
The maximum amount of ammo the player can have at once increases on later floors.

Hand of Cards
This is a passive that appears in the Treasure pool.
It spawns two rows of items at the start of each floor.
One item from each row can be taken, and more items will appear in each row on later floors.
No other items can be taken (except quest items and items in the boss rush room).

EXP Bar
This is a passive that appears in the Treasure pool.
It spawns an item every time the experience bar is filled.
No other items can be taken (except quest items and items in the boss rush room).
Gain experience by killing enemies.
Bosses and champions provide more experience.
Enemies give more experience on later floors and less experience each time you fill the bar.

Rechargeable Mantle
This is a passive that appears in the Shop and Battery Bum pools.
It provides a shield that can be recharged with batteries.
It can be upgraded 3 times with mega batteries.
It also has synergies with Battery Bum items.

Makeshift Mantle
This is a passive that appears in the Shop, Key Master, and Bomb Bum pools.
It provides a shield that can be refilled with up to 2 keys and up to 2 bombs.
Each hit will target either the bomb half of the shield or the key half of the shield.
A hit will only hurt if the part of the shield it targets is empty.

Check the Stand-Alone Versions for details. I can’t fit any more text here.

This mod should be compatible with any mod that adds a character with the same name (e.g., Job) because the name of each character in this mod is different in the code. Unfortunately, the miniboss splash text uses the internal name of the character, so you’ll see stuff like "MBC_JOB VS ENVY" rather than "JOB VS ENVY". I figured that compatibility was more important than this brief flash of text.

If you’d rather have the text look right, try the stand alone-versions. Don’t use both this mod and the ones below.

Job
John
David
Peter
Adam
