PoH Roguelike Mod?

[Jith03]

While playing through Torghast (different game from HK), I was thinking of what would happen should the final pantheon in Godhome have randomized charms after killing/defeating each boss, like Torghast's Anima Powers. All of the charms would be too much for the title post, so it will be in a comment.

After defeating/killing each boss, a randomized charm would drop to the floor, and Godseeker would only move on after you pick it up. Each charm would have two effects, a "base effect" after picking it up for the first time, and a "stacking effect" for each subsequent copy picked up.

the overpowered Wayward Compass: Base affect: your damage done and running speed is increased by 100%. Stacking affect: your damage done is increased by 50%.

Gathering Swarm: Base affect: a swarm of gnats attacks anyone who gets near you for 2 damage, and has a 5% chance to stagger them per hit. Damage increased to 10 for enemies that can't stagger. Stacking affect: stagger chance is increased by 10%.

Stalwart Shell: Base affect: when you are hit, you stay invulnerable for 1.75 seconds. Stacking affect: invulnerability time is increased by 1 second.

Soul Eater: Base affect: when you generate more SOUL than your vessels can hold, the excess SOUL bursts in a circle around you for 1 damage per unit of excess SOUL generated. Stacking affect: the excess SOUL damage is increased by 3 per unit of excess SOUL.

Mark of Pride: Base affect: whenever you are hit, a Mantis Warrior is called to your side with 20 health. They don't deal contact damage to you, but deal 13 damage to enemies. Stacking affect: Mantis Warrior health and damage increased by 20% rounded up.

Fury of the Fallen: Base affect: when you are reduced to 1 mask, all damage done is increased by 75% rounded up. Stacking affect: when you are reduced to 1 mask, your nail damage is increased by 60% rounded up.

I'll finish the charm list in a few hours. I also forgot to mention that all charms you have equipped will be removed at the start of each run, and the charms gained during the run have no charm notch cost attached. After each boss, there will be a break room that only serves to allow you to look at the charm that you got, and all of your buffs; there is no bench, hot spring, nor Lifeblood cocoon. The cocoons still appear at their normal frequency as in a normal PoH run.

Despite the feeling of power you get over the course of your run, AbsRad has made preparations to make the run challenging. Each of the bosses has health and damage values equal to their Ascended forms in the Hall of Gods.

I'm aware that this mod idea is incredibly ambitious, and not all of it may be possible. If you can code, perhaps you could attempt to mod some of it?
