  • (in Afterbirth †)Collectible Crooked Penny icon.pngCrooked Penny: Splits the 50% chance to succeed into a 25% chance to quadruple all items and a 25% chance to duplicate all items while consuming the originals; the latter will make Devil deal and Shop items free.
    • (in Repentance) The 25% chance to duplicate all items while consuming the originals now generates 2 pennies instead.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Sulfur icon.pngSulfur: Will count as giving double Brimstone, giving extra damage and a x1.2 damage multiplier for the current room.

  • Collectible The Bean icon.pngThe Bean/Collectible Mega Bean icon.pngMega Bean/Collectible Kidney Bean icon.pngKidney Bean: Deals double damage, but charms/poisons/petrifies for the same amount of time.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Berserk! icon.pngBerserk!: Will only increase rage duration if no enemies are killed in the first half, effectively only affecting bosses that can't spawn enemies.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Book of Virtues icon.pngBook of Virtues: Doubles the spawned wisps on activation.
  • Collectible Book of Secrets icon.pngBook of Secrets: Activates twice, (except in Repentance) but has a chance to uselessly activate the same effect twice.
  • Collectible Book of Shadows icon.pngBook of Shadows/Collectible The Gamekid icon.pngThe Gamekid/Collectible My Little Unicorn icon.pngMy Little Unicorn/Collectible Unicorn Stump icon.pngUnicorn Stump: Doubles the length of invincibility, but no effect on damage where applicable.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Clicker icon.pngClicker: If the Car Battery is removed by the first activation, a second activation will not happen. Two activations in a row is mostly detrimental, removing two items and possibly cycling through a character that lowers health.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Dark Arts icon.pngDark Arts: Doubles the duration, giving more time to walk through more enemies, if you end the effect before the end of the first second, the item will reactivate itself; allowing to target the same enemies twice.
  • Collectible D4 icon.pngD4/Collectible D100 icon.pngD100: Instantly re-rolls Isaac's items twice, which doubles the speed at which the item pools are exhausted and transformations are achieved.
    • (in Repentance) As items are returned back into the item pool when re-rolled, the item pools aren't exhausted at all. In addition, you need to actively be holding a transformation's respective items to retain them now, so using the double re-roll to gain multiple transformations is no longer possible.
  • Collectible The D6 icon.pngThe D6/Collectible D8 icon.pngD8/Collectible D12 icon.pngD12/Collectible D20 icon.pngD20: Re-rolls twice instantly without any benefits.

  • Collectible Dead Sea Scrolls icon.pngDead Sea Scrolls: Activates 2 random effects.
  • (in Afterbirth †)Collectible D infinity icon.pngD infinity: Activates 2 dice. The second activation die cannot be predicted.
    • (in Repentance) Activates the currently selected die twice.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Dull Razor icon.pngDull Razor: The invulnerability time is not increased, but damage-triggered items will activate twice if applicable.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Eternal D6 icon.pngEternal D6: Re-rolls twice like The D6 (see above), but the 30% chance of the item disappearing is increased to 51%.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Everything Jar icon.pngEverything Jar: Instead of doubling its effect, Everything Jar will spawn a poop alongside its normal drop.
  • Collectible Guppy's Head icon.pngGuppy's Head: Increases range of flies spawned to 4-7.
  • Collectible Head of Krampus icon.pngHead of Krampus: Doubles the damage the brimstone beams deal (for a total of (except in Repentance)880 damage/ (in Repentance)400 damage per use). Doesn't double the brimstone beams' duration.
  • Collectible The Hourglass icon.pngThe Hourglass: Doubles the length of the effect.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Mega Mush icon.pngMega Mush: Makes the effect twice as long.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Metronome icon.pngMetronome: Metronome is activated twice at once as expected, but the item chosen for the first activation is shown raised above Isaac's head, instead of the second one that actually remains active.
    • Moreover, active item effects chosen by Metronome are only activated once.
  • (in Rebirth and Afterbirth)Collectible Mine Crafter icon.pngMine Crafter: Spawns a Movable TNT and instantly detonates it, damaging Isaac.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) This has been changed to spawn two Movable TNT barrels instead, which you can detonate at will.

  • Collectible Tear Detonator icon.pngTear Detonator: Multiplies detonated tears, resulting in 6x more tears than normal.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Telekinesis icon.pngTelekinesis: Grants 7 seconds of protection, effectively giving Isaac immunity to enemy bullets as long as the item is used immediately upon recharging.
