Trial of David

Description
David
David has the power to siphon the energy of his most powerful foes, so when he beats the floor's boss he gains a 7% stat bonus to all offensive stats. However, getting hit causes him to lose some energy, losing 2% to offensive stats.
David starts with Slingshot, a 2 room active item which upon use throws a magic rock that bounces between enemies and inflicts weakness. Bosses take a percentage of their max health as damage instead.
He also starts with Promised Crown, which generates a couple minisaacs whenever he kills a champion.

Tainted David
David lost control of his power and now loses 8% of offensive stats every time he goes down a floor. However he can still siphon energy from his enemies. Killing a boss grants a 4% stats bonus and killing a champion grants a 1% bonus. However, he can only siphon from a champion once every other room.
Tainted David starts with a gulped Purple Heart and he also brought Jonathan with him, his trusted plushie. Jonathan can only be used once per floor, and upon use it reveals the boss room, or grants +3 luck if he's already there.

erm he should use a sling, not a slingshot (nerd emoji)

Hello, for some reason David's active does not fire a shot? Is it a known bug? Is it conflict with other mod(s)? Any suggestions would be appreciated before i start unsubscribing one by one. Many thanks in advance!!

too weak, i don't feel too incentivized to use the slingshot very much and just end up throwing it away for something else later like maggies yum heart. the minisaacs feel underwhelming and getting hit just 3 times to lose the majority of your stat boosts for the floor just feels way too punishing. the slingshot gaining power equal to the amount of minisaacs you currently have and reducing stat losses to 1.5% would probably tie the character together more (i know jackshit about game balance, i just wish he was more than a worse tainted samson that works better in the late game)

what causes characters to not load? it's not just this mod that doesn't load the characters for me
