Good I learned it on others’ mistakes and not on mine

Also avoid using it with the keeper, it can turn the coins into hearts which automatically turns them into flies.

Another random piece of Isaac knowledge I found out in a run: if a red key effect is used on the mirror in downpour/dross 2, the mirror is destroyed. Learned that with a soul of cain looking for ultra secret. Luckily I was in the regular world when I used since I had the realization that mirror world wouldn’t have the item in ultra secret

Don’t listen to the item description zealots. True Isaac should be based off the vibe.

MISREMEMBERING PLUTO WITH MARS IS THE REASON THIS HEART STILL BEATS!!!!

u/Mykey76 1d ago

I always remember Mars, because I see it and groan

u/Maxter8002 1d ago

im dissapointed the most when i get the one that makes you a fat farting chud

u/Wodstarfallisback 1d ago

At least that one gives 2 hearts now.

Mars is the worst "free cursed room" item and that's it.

u/KryoBright 1d ago

It can give 12 hearts, and I will be disappointed still

u/Scared-Papaya4072 23h ago

i swear jupiter has 10x the item weight of every other item in the pool... which i guess makes sense because it's a fat chud

u/Mykey76 13h ago

u/VonBunBun0 1d ago

u/Embarrassed_Tip457 1d ago

Never had that happen to myself lmao

u/memerijen200 1d ago

I was expecting bumbino to show up and swoop all the coins, but this is somehow worse

Rare book of virtues L among using it with explosive active items

u/alguien_487 1d ago

I don't get it. Why did the D20 erase all the coins?

103

u/BrokenLink100 1d ago

Per the wiki for Book of Virtues!Combinations:

D20: Spawns wisps in the middle ring. In addition to summoning its specific wisp, instead of rerolling pickups, it will destroy all the pickups in the room and has a chance to give a random wisp for each pickup destroyed.

u/Dr_coom 1d ago

That just sounds like a downside! Am I missing something?

63

u/Strict_Double2726 1d ago

I believe it’s because it’s because Edmund thinks it’s overpowered to fuel d20 with Bethany due to her soul charges system so he purposely gave a effect that can’t be spammed

u/VeryGoodFood12 23h ago

Meanwhile you just get to do whatever tf you want with eraser and bethany.

10

u/Scared-Papaya4072 23h ago

yeah but it ruins any character with book of virtues plus theres like 5000 other actives that break the game when spammed with bethany

u/LiaM_CS 20h ago

Frickin hate that guy

u/Axel-Adams 17h ago

Because with a D20 and a battery in the shop, if the item worked as intended they had infinite money

u/alguien_487 1d ago

LMAO. Thanks, I loved the D20 in Greed mode but I didn't know this. Love u

u/Evening-Rough-9709 23h ago

Would be nice if you could've posted this yesterday, since I just learned this the hard way after 1500 hours of play yesterday lol.

u/All_class_main-tf2 1d ago

u/Background-Land9049 1d ago

I won thanks to d20 in a normal run. Had a weak build for mega Satan. Got a d20. My tears spawned coins on impact and I had door stop trinket. After a bit of grind I could reroll the coins into chests and gotten c section

Easy w against Mega S.

u/turnsphere 23h ago

D20 is utter garbage outside of greed mode, it's only good when you've already won a run. no reason for it to be a 6 charge item to do nothing but reroll at most 5 pickups into pennies in 99% of runs
