No, same reason you don't go in with 24 spells because there are 6 elements.

[adarazrad]

you can only take one relic with you to start a run.

you can hold up to 10 relics, but only start with 1.

[marharols]

you should be able to have more than one to start with

[adarazrad]

and run with consistent broken combos right off the bat?

starting off with sunglasses + katana for example is a very simple combo that will allow you to clear runs very consistently without issues.

there are many more examples out there, more than 1 is not needed.

and getting an overcheated beginning ? Yeah sure...

You can only *START* with one relic, but you can collect enough to fill out the inventory space during a run.

I get the idea behind the way it is, and I don't have a problem with it, but I want a post-game mode where I can load up on all the relics and arcana I want and pre-buff with vendors. I mean, once I've unlocked it all, why not? I can make it harder on myself by choosing not to use stuff, so can't I have a Steam Roller mode where I get to go nuts and feel overpowered?

having a mode like this that locked you out of getting achievements and crystals would be fine, but id rather have them finish the wind expansion first.

it's roguelike/lite - if you were able to start with too much then it would destroy the point of the game. 1 relic is plenty. in fact, starting with 1 attack, 1 defence, and 1 misc would be entirely broken. you could have 3x crit chance (dark katana) with vampire glasses (heal when you crit) and still run with the rocket so your overcharge doesn't deplete. it would turn the entire game into a joke. the 1 change i would like to see, however, is allowing us to forego having a signature arcana and, instead, have 2 standard arcana (doing this would mean you can't use overcharge signature during your run, but would result in many interesting arcana builds.

Yeah, just realised you are wrong, I've got more than one relic in my inv and they're active.

When you start a run, no you don't. Yeah, just realised you are a spanner short of a toolbox.
