Tainted Jacob Rework
This mod makes Tainted Jacob gain broken hearts instead of immediately turning into the lost.
I liked the idea behind Tainted Jacob, but I dislike that his gimmick is that he turns into a harder preexisting character when you get hit by Esau. Now contact with Esau will remove a heart and grant you some broken hearts instead of ending your run. If you have no more hearts to give, then it will revert to turning you into the lost. For balancing, every floor you complete will also remove 1 broken heart.
You can also get some value from those broken hearts because Jacob now starts with Heartbreak, even if you haven’t unlocked it yet.
The hope is that Tainted Jacob becomes a more fun and unique character to play, maybe even one to go back to after completing all the achievements.
Let me know if you find any bugs or if you have any comments/suggestions/think its too easy.
