Hexen Table is an unlockable machine in Kicks and Giggles, a mod for The Binding of Isaac.
Has a chance to spawn inside Curse Rooms and Sacrifice Rooms.
Always spawns in the starting room of each floor during the Nothing but Skills challenge.
Hexen Tables always spawn alongside a random rune.
Consumes Isaac's held rune upon contact.
If a registered Soul Stone rune is consumed, Isaac learns a passive Hexen Table skill associated with the consumable.
If an unregistered Soul Stone or a regular rune is consumed, Isaac gains a permanent stat bonus, randomly chosen from the following:
• +1 Empty Heart Container.
• +1 luck.
• A small non-flat damage bonus.
• A small non-flat fire rate bonus.
• +0.15 speed.
Attempting to learn an already learned Hexen Table skill grants a random permanent stat boost instead.
Obtain The Necronomicon in 5 different runs.
