Requirements

What does it do?

It fixes/improves the starting hand algorithm to give you a better starting hand. Normally the game will have you draw 2 cards, and if none are 0 or 1 blood cost, then it will put a bones card or 1 blood cost card into your hand. This bone card would often stay in your hand and be unable to be played for a long time. Now it will only put a bone card in your hand if you can afford to play it in the first 2 turns. If playing act 2 brittle cards such as skeletons are factored in. If playing act 1/Kaycee's mod all that matters are Bone Lord boons, meaning you will only draw a bone card you can play turn 1.

Changelog

1.1.0

Now checks if Bone Lord Boons will allow a bone card to be playable.

1.2.0

Fixed a NullPointerException in the Grimora fight in act 2 if your deck had specific arrangements of cards.

1.2.1

No longer requires Kaycee's mod. If you use this version with Kaycee's mod then it will not check bone lord boons for whether a card is playable properly. Use version 1.2.0 instead if you use Kaycee's mod, this version is only for those who do not use it.
