Shotty's Stranger Megapack

Description
So many Strangers...
Includes 450+(!) new roles for Sinsthar’s amazing character mod, The Stranger!
You will need to subscribe to it for this add-on mod to work. The new roles can then be found in the Tainted Stranger's character list.

Now features the ability to quickly scroll through roles!
Pressing Up/Down on the analog stick or W/S on keyboard skips ahead 10 roles at a time, all scrolling is now uncapped so holding a directional input will speed up role selection.
The Bomb button will also roll to a random Stranger, for those who are a bit indecisive.


Big thanks for Sinsthar for implementing these additions to the base Stranger mod!

About The Roles...
The main objective with my Tainted Strangers is to provide fun, gimmicky synergies that would otherwise normally require luck to experience, or typically can't be initiated early on a fresh run. I had a few goals in mind when making these roles:
  • Use less seen or focused on items to create cool synergies
  • Have characters focus on a specific theme and feel unique
  • Make them look cool/appropriate for their gimmick
  • Try to keep them relatively balanced through stats or cost
Note that not every Stranger included can be considered “balanced". The goal was fun first and some roles are going to be objectively better than others. Compared to base Isaac characters, many roles can generally feel a bit strong to start with simply due to the nature of synergies. A handful of Strangers here are deliberately designed in a trolly or steamroll strong way. These are a small minority and are only here for silly fun and unique challenges.

Strangers aren’t listed in any particular order save for the most expensive and meme worthy roles being pushed towards the back.

Reminder that you can try any role without using boss tokens by typing "freeroles" into the debug console ( https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Debug_Console ).
You will not earn completion marks this way but will be able to test run a Stranger before committing to using your tokens. Have fun!


Special Thanks...
Big thanks to my friend Mono Romero for playtesting these and helping with overall balance and cost! If it weren’t for him it would have been much harder to create this and make decisions for many of the Strangers included.

Big thanks as well to HalvedDead for helping with many role ideas and creating costumes for the big update! His help was greatly appreciated and I would have likely gone insane without the assistance!

And of course huge credit is due to Sinsthar for making this Stranger add-on possible and providing very helpful documentation on creating custom content for his awesome mod!

I just want a character that starts with Chaos and nothing else. Basic Isaac stats. Maybe called "The ‽‽‽"

it would be really cool if we could see all of the roles on something like isaacguru

Hi, it's a shame that the "freeroles" command disables the completion marks for the characters because the 99 boss token characters are hell to do just because it costs too much and when there are only expensive characters left to do it's annoying to have to farm the boss tokens with the gratis or triplet terrors, I hope you will see this message and that you will change this command a little
Thanks in advance

the stranger mod seems to work well with the new repentance+ patch so i think everything is fine now :3

and also dataminer and delirious

understandable, but some of these item buffs are really cool
mega bean and lil portal instantly come to mind when it comes to new stranger role potential

It's mainly up to Sinsthar to update the base Stranger mod, I can notify him but also don't have much say in the matter unfortunately. You can likely still use the mod when not using the Rep+ DLC however

gay cat Nov 19, 2024 @ 10:33am
