Jacob and Esau: Blessed and Cursed

Description
Jacob and Esau: Blessed and Cursed!

I really do not enjoy playing the standard Jacob and Esau - as they are strong but they are very clunky. My main complaint is their tendency to spread apart when I'm navigating rooms with obstacles. So this mod looks to make them a bit more smooth to play, with a small tradeoff in damage:

- Both Jacob and Esau now start with flight!
- Jacob and Esau have 0.25 less starting damage
- Jacob and Esau have a 90% damage multiplier (all damage ups are slightly less effective)
- Jacob and Esau have a 110% tear delay multiplier (all tear ups are slightly less effective)

Author's Note: This mod isn't supposed to be perfectly balanced. I'm sure some people would like a harsher tradeoff (or no tradeoff at all) for the addition of flight. I'm happy with these values so far in my play, but your mileage may vary!

You're not the first to comment that and I'm a bit confused where it is coming from.

Jacob does not kill Esau in the Bible. In fact, Jacob dies before Esau. Everyone in this thread seems to be confusing Jacob and Esau with Cain and Abel.

Esau is seen as "godless" because he sold his birthright to his brother (Jacob) in exchange for food (Red Stew).

since Jacob kills Esau wouldn't it be the inverse since he's a murderer

Still working for me on the latest Repentance patch. I have not tested this mod with other mods, perhaps there is a conflict.

The flying isn't working on Jacob for me

nice mode, feel balanced and mor eimportantly make those two less infuriating to play
as other said a neat change would be swapping the wings around
