Bum Friend

Effects

• Spawns a familiar who follows Isaac and picks up coins on the ground. (He does not fill up a familiar "slot".)
• After picking up 6 coins, Bum Friend will drop a pickup.
• After that, Bum Friend has a 67% chance to drop a pickup after picking up 3 coins and a 33% chance to drop a pickup after picking up 4 coins.
• (Added in Afterbirth) This item belongs to the Super Bum set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac's bums into Super Bum.

Notes

• Bum Friend cannot pick up Sticky Nickels.
• Bum Friend can pick up Lucky Pennies, but it will simply count as a regular Penny and will not grant luck.
• From a scoring perspective, Pennies that Bum Friend picks up count towards your Schwag bonus on daily runs.

Synergies

• BFFS!: All future drops will happen every 3 coins. If the next scheduled drop at the moment of acquiring BFFS! requires more than 3 coins, the amount will not be lowered.
• Mitre: Red Hearts that Bum drops can be converted into Soul Hearts.
