Hexen Table machine

Hexen Table is an unlockable machine in Kicks and Giggles, a mod for The Binding of Isaac.

Description

Has a chance to spawn inside Curse Rooms and Sacrifice Rooms.

Always spawns in the starting room of each floor during the Nothing but Skills challenge.

Hexen Tables always spawn alongside a random rune.

Consumes Isaac's held rune upon contact.

If a registered Soul Stone rune is consumed, Isaac learns a passive Hexen Table skill associated with the consumable.

If an unregistered Soul Stone or a regular rune is consumed, Isaac gains a permanent stat bonus, randomly chosen from the following:

• +1 Empty Heart Container.
• +1 luck.
• A small non-flat damage bonus.
• A small non-flat fire rate bonus.
• +0.15 speed.

Attempting to learn an already learned Hexen Table skill grants a random permanent stat boost instead.

How to unlock?

Obtain The Necronomicon in 5 different runs.
