About this mod
'Flavor' version of my Background Bonuses mod, which gives each background its own unique bonus with the goal of adding some flavor to each of the different vanilla backgrounds. While each bonus is positive, their effects are scaled to be easy to ignore with very little impact on vanilla gameplay.

This version of this mod was made to be 'vanilla+' (easy to add without it overly changing the game from the typical vanilla experience). If you would like to play the original version of this mod that has stronger bonuses, with the purpose of enabling new builds and synergies, you can find it here.
All background bonus effects will show up in the tooltips of each bro's background. Bonus effects also listed below:
List of background effects of 'normal' backgrounds:
List of background effects for those backgrounds that can only be acquired once per run via event:
Should be safe to add or remove mid-run, and compatible with most other mods (though will not have any bonuses for backgrounds added in other mods).
Suggestions for alternate bonuses or any opinions on bonuses that are too strong are welcome! Please list any bugs encountered under 'bugs' page.
