Suggestion: lower Book of the Dead charges back to 4 #341

with all the nerfs Book of the Dead has gotten, it's become hardly worth it for a 6-charge item, so I'd suggest keeping all the nerfs intact but lowering the book's charges to 4 (The Pinking Shears, The Necronomicon, Scissors and Crack the Sky are all more powerful than Book of the Dead while all having 4 charges)

That's a nah from me personally. It hardly required any thought in its usage at 4 due to how snowbally it is, and it's definitely still plenty strong at 6. None of the other items you mentioned have a lingering, self sustaining effect. Most of them don't provide both offense and defense at the same time, either.

I used to not value this item at all, but then I found Book of the Dead is a life-saver for glass cannons like Tainted Lost and Tainted Keeper. Now I prize it highly. 6 is fine.
