Start Configuration Reference
These options control what you start with when the game begins.
If selected, which items you start with will be shuffled. Each item checked will always be a starting item. Each unchecked item has a 25% chance to be a starting item.
Options: No limit / 1 / 2 / 4 This option limits the number of starting items to the indicated amount. Any checked items will be guaranteed, and additional items are 25% likely to be starting items, up to the cap. Note this may cause less items than the limit to be starting (if not enough items are selected at 25%). If more items are selected than the limit, a random selection of items equal to the limit will be used.
If selected, which spells you start with will be shuffled. Each item checked will always be a starting spell. Each unchecked spell has a 25% chance to be a starting spell.

Options: 1-8
Adjust the minimum / maximum starting hearts. The actual starting hearts will be a random value between the min and max inclusive of both values.
Options: 1-8, +1, +2, +3, +4, Random
Adjust the total number of available heart containers. +1, +2, +3, +4 will always make the maximum number of containers that many greater than the starting container count. Random makes the maximum number of containers a random value between the starting container count and 8. If there are fewer than 8 containers, any removed containers will be replaced with a minor item. If the number of total containers is more than 4 greater than the number of starting containers, minor items will be replaced with heart containers until enough are available.
