Bag o' Stuff

A consumable that spawns a random pickup on an adjacent tile, with a 5% chance to break when used. Essentially a gamble — the pickup could be anything from healing to useful items, making it unreliable but worth using when you have nothing better to do with your action. The small break chance adds mild tension to each use.

The random pickup mechanic is the core of Bag o' Stuff's value — it can generate healing items, consumables, weapons, or other pickups that would otherwise require finding organically. Each use has an average 5% chance to break the item, meaning it typically lasts about 20 uses before breaking, though it can fail much earlier or much later due to variance. The random nature means you can't plan around specific outputs, but the expected value is positive since any useful pickup is worth more than an unused consumable slot.

Bag o' Stuff is best used between fights or when your main consumable has already been spent — generating extra pickups before difficult encounters can provide unexpected advantages. Use it on any turn where you don't have a better action to take. The item is particularly interesting on builds that benefit from specific random outcomes, or in runs where your consumable economy is depleted and any pickup is better than nothing. The self-break risk is low enough to use freely without hoarding charges for a 'perfect' moment.
