SpliceHack contains many new items. The probabilities of vanilla items have been adjusted to make room for them, but efforts have been made to keep things balanced. For example, the probability of identify scrolls is unchanged. Note that the artifact wishing success chance in Splicehack has been changed from the number of artifacts previously generated to the number of artifacts previously wished for.
