for some reason i do not get the holy mantle from it..

I feel like that's one of the main utilities of Dogma as an Item. Other than the really neat Damage boost and health up, the ability to preserve flight for the Mines Challenge and even keep Dogma after using Genesis or other Run Rerolls is great.

(Also it doesn't take up an item slot for t. Isaac.)

Alright so its not a bug. Dogma is considered a story item and isnt removed for the rest of the run after you pick it up, but it does make for some interesting situations i have to say...

Hey @Czar Khasm, i dont know if anyone is working on this mod anymore but i have found a major bug. During the challenge in the mines where you get the second knife piece, if you get dogma equipped, the game doesnt remove it from you, making you have flight and pretty much giving you an option to cheese the entire section. Just a heads up.

@jsdecorte yeah but that one only changes lasers and brimstone, and also it changes it in general and not only when having dogma

@Losfrail I mean, the item gives flight, soul hearts, and a one-hit shield that expires after exiting the room; things all entirely worthless to The Lost. If anything, I should've given it the "nolostbr" tag so T. Lost couldn't get it at all

i still do think it's rarity should be increased to be of some use to T. Lost, because otherwise they'll never see Dogma (item) and they'll only ever see Dogma (boss).

Oh and the item if they beat the boss but why would you want to R Key to make use of Dogma at that point?

there is the dogma lasers mod for that

Don't know how hard it would be but could you add the static effect to tears/brimstone?

@The Absolute Radiance iirc, Item Quality has no effect on rarity; the only things it really affects are Tainted Lost and Sacred Orb.
Besides, most items in the Angel Pool have a regular weight, including items that are stronger than Dogma like Sacred Heart, Godhead, Revelation, etc, so keeping it at the same rarity as those makes the most sense to me

I think this mod should also change Dogma's quality. Since Dogma is a quality 0 item, it appears way too commonly, the mod should change the item quality to 4, since it's a very good item and this would make it more rare.

:0

Ah I didn't know that, thanks!

@ASGI202 The Holy Mantle effect only triggers on the room the item is picked up, which is basically never useful, and The Wafer's effect only triggers on Normal mode. Maybe you were playing on Hard?

It doesn't seem to give the Holy Mantle effect and the Wafer effect like it does in The Beast fight.

@Ouef Salad Yeah, I've tried A LOT in the past to try to use that effect, but it seems to be hard-coded to only apply to specific entities/images/whatever

Apparently there is a shade of blue used for Dogma that makes the game apply a static effect. That could be used instead of a gif for the costume

@DamageMaximo Huh. I probably glossed over it, assuming that it was an old mod ported to Repentance because of the [REP] at the front of the title. My mistake!
Gonna keep this one up for the costume tho

i think this one is better because of the costume 'tho

But there already is a mod that does this, it came out soon after rep came out...

@Lightning Fryer I'm actually not sure how to tie items to achievements; I'll do a bit of research on that. If I don't respond again, just assume I didn't find anything

@Caped64 Yeah; the base costume is shared with the Bible, so I added the static to differentiate it

Does this mod give the same costume when obtained in the fight with the Beast?

Kinda strange having it from the very beginning, since it's a very story-heavy item. Maybe you can tie its unlock to beating Beast for the first time (like it is with Delirious)?

Yep! I'd make it a gif, but I'm too lazy to set up outside recording software

Wait does Issac's eyes have a tv static animation? Can't tell from the screenshot.
