Item Ideas Thread (I.I.T)

[Jolly]

Welcome!

Not an "item" exactly, but a Mod idea...

Keeper's Table.

A Shopkeeper, seated at a table, with a Key and a Bomb on it. Works like the Shell Game guy, that you walk into it to use it, by touching either the Key or the Bomb. Allows you to sell Keys and Bombs for 2 Cents each.

If used enough times in a run (randomized), may self-destruct (like Slot Machines, etc.), giving one of the following:

1 Penny (most common), a Troll Bomb, Store Credit, A Quarter, a Homing Troll Bomb, Credit Card, A Dollar, Head of the Keeper, or Steam Sale (most rare).

Name: Canadian Loonie
Type: passive (like the quarter)
Effect: Gives 75 cents
Desc: Maple syrup, eh?

Re: Alternate Reality item...

I think I figured out a way to avoid hard-code to give the Lost, Keeper, and ??? actual Red Health. I'm not entirely sure if this will work, because I don't know exactly how characters are coded, but it might be possible to make a separate character file, like Dark Judas. Dark Judas seems to be a separate character by stats and appearance, but it still unocks Judas' achievements.

It could be possible to create LivingLost, LivingKeeper, and LivingBaby characters that use all the characters' animations, have their items, and cue their achievements, but still allow for actual health by not using the same character file.

Can someone who makes mods tell me if that's doable?

Item Name: Muddy Shovel
Type: Active (4 Room Charge)
Description: Bury the darkness

Effect: This item will destroy all rocks/skull/poops/etc... in a room much like the Hagalaz rune; however, if their is a hole (pit) adjacent to the rock destroyed, it will be filled in. (A single rock is able to fill in multiple holes, it doesn't select one over the other.)
Synergies:

• Lucky Rock (Trinket) - All rocks destroyed while holding this trinket will drop a coin each.
  
• Card Against Humanity - Will spawn a poop in each grid square of the room which can then be destroyed all at once with this item.
  
• The Poop - Will spawn a single poop that this item can destroy.
  
• Pertrefied Poop (Trinket) - Any poops destroyed by this item while holding this trinket will retain the increased drop rate.
  
• Shiny Rock (Trinket) - This trinket can be used to find tinted rocks which this item can destroy.

Item Pool: Shop, Treasure, Secret Room
Item Apperence: Would look just like "We Need to go Deeper" but mud would reside on the head, with a mud palm print on the shaft and mud finger prints on the handle where the hands would grip.

I'm glad this thread got revived. Anyways, back to ideas.

Name: Mind Stabber

Type: Transformation

Appearance: Isaac gains a giant knife through his chest.

Items that can get this transformation (3 required): Wire Coat Hanger, Guillotine, Mom's Knife, Sacrificial Dagger, Betrayal, The Mind, Backstabber, Spoon Bender, Crown Of Light (Those tears are pretty sharp looking ok?) (there may be more stabbing-related items I missed, if so, please tell me).

Effect: Upon taking damage for the first time in a room, Isaac fires out 8 tears similarly to Varicose Veins or Tammy's Head, and the knife flies out of his chest, giving him a knife familiar similar to a Ludovico Mom's Knife, but with must less damage. It is still controlled the same way as the Ludo Knife, and gives enemies the bleed effect.

Synergies: Ludovico Technique + Strange Attractor (the knife will constantly be attracted to the center of your tear, effectively making it a damage up), BFFs (increases the size and damage of the knife).

Name (I'm not a fan of the genre, by the way, but just to make it funny): It's a Guitar!
Desc: But does it Djent?
Apparence: Electric guitar
Type: Passive
Item Pool: Treasure Room
Effects: When firing there's a chance of a zig-zag electric tear that if it hits an enemy it shakes up the current room and kills all the enemies in the current room. If a boss gets hit by this special tear they will lose 15% of their health.

This is a brilliant resource for modders stuck for ideas.

That seems a bit too good, especially against tanky bosses like Hush and Delerium.

Maybe it could be ineffective against mega bosses?

Or maybe it could just do 5x your regular tear damage?

Dark Angel Room

Randomly (10%) the Devil Room will have an Angel Statue instead of the Devil Statue.

Instead of Devil Deals, the Angel will sell Angel Room items, in exchange for Soul Hearts. Better items will cost 2 Soul Hearts, while the less useful items will cost 1 soul heart. He will not accept Red Hearts.

If the statue is bombed, it will spawn the dark versions of the Angel from the Mega Satan fight. Upon defeat, he will drop the opposite Key Piece that the normal Angel would (Key Piece 2 for I versions of floors, the Key Piece 1 for II versions)

EDIT: I just realized that this thread is only for items... I still like the idea, though. If nothing else, it makes Angel Items more accessible.

Eh, don't worry about it, people have suggested other things too. The way I see this thread as is a place for modders to come when they're out of iteas; they may find something they like and wish to build on it.

High Roller
"Do you feel lucky?"

- Whenever you get no reward from a Slot Machine or Fortune Teller, automatically re-roll once for another chance.

- +5 Luck for the purposes of activating the effect of one of your passive items.

Item Pool : Slot Machine, Shop

Multi-♥♥♥ - “More than what it seems”

Activated Shop Item, use any time. Costs 30 Cents; 15 on Sale, 7 for Sale on Sale, and still 0 with double Steam Sale.

Looks like a red robot toy on pedestal.

Isaac now has 3 forms: Robot, Car, and Helicopter, which can be cycled (1, 2, 3; 1, 2, etc.) at any time with the spacebar.

1) Robot Isaac (starting form) gets +2 Base Damage and -0.2 Speed.
2) Car Isaac has Speed 3.5 and is immune to contact damage (including fire and spikes) but not to projectiles, and cannot attack except by ramming enemies (like Aries). This works both as an almost-Gnawed-Leaf for non-projectile enemies, and as a way to back-track without wasting too much time or hitting spikes you forgot about.
3) Helicopter Isaac has Flying and gets -2 Fire Rate (breaks cap), and +0.3 Speed.

Note: Transforming is a 1/2 second animation which leaves Isaac volnerable.
