Improved Monster Manual

Description
Funnyman Modding Enterprises is eager to present its newest project, commissioned by MrTea: Improved Monster Manual!

This mod features a full, ground-up rework of the item, spawning a unique, permanent familiar based on what room you first activated it in, which you can upgrade with later uses! A list of all babies the book can spawn are the following:

Treasure Room: Thief Baby
Fires Head of The Keeper tears and occasionally drops a bomb on room clear.

Shop: Keeper Baby
Fires triple shot and enemies killed by it drop a fading coin, like Tainted Keeper.

Secret Room: Skeleton Baby
Fires Compound Fracture tears and has a chance to drop a bone heart on room clear.

Library: Bookworm Baby
Has a Book Worm effect on his tears and a chance to drop a key on room clear.

Curse Room: Zombie Baby
Fires like Cursed Eye and has a chance to drop troll bombs, a red chest or 1-3 blue flies on room clear.

Planetarium: Planet Baby
Fires like Tiny Planet and has a Terra effect on his tears.

Devil Deal: Devil Baby
Fires Brimstone beams.

Angel Room: Cross Baby
Fires Trisagion tears.

Other: Wizard Baby
Has a chance to drop a card on room clear.

All future uses of Monster Manual will allow you to upgrade the familiar you created, by choosing between 3 different options, including effects such as Soy Milk, Ipecac, stat increases and various worm trinket effects.

i think the stat ups are for the baby itself, with luck affecting how often the random tear effects happen

Do stat ups work? For example, I had the wizard baby, went to power him up by using the manual again, chose the "Luck up" and my luck did not increase.

it took me like 3 incidents for me to realize that the wire coat hanger option isn't a tears up, it just murders the baby lol
i kept thinking i hit a limit or something but nah i was just dumb

Thats sadly a problem with the modding api, all modded familiars always go last

I adore this mod. One nitpick: it seems to always go to the BACK of the familiar line, even behind things like Angel Deal keys. Makes it extremely hard to manipulate effectively. Any chance this mod is still being worked on? And if so maybe force this to take first position over other familiars?? Just a thought!

I like this mod but I need the level up menu to pause the game. I'll check here until I see it, till then I uninstall

Just for ya'll to know the Eclipsed mod and the Improved Monster Manual mods are incompatible. The Mongo Beggar procs the Monster Manual and interacts weirdly with each other.

I'm getting a mongo beggar sometimes that when I pay it I get monster manual uses. Is that from this mod?
