The Tower: Tower challenges/modifiers

About tower challenges/modifiers:

Players should be able to pick different challenges before entering the tower that'll modify the tower in different ways. These challenges won't be purely negative modifiers, but they'll be mostly negative.

The challenges could consist of stuff like this:

• Player deals 50% less damage, but mobs are 25% slower.
• Mobs deal 80% more damage, but player has invulnerability/ghost form on roll.
• 3 vexes constantly spawn around you to attack you every 10-15 seconds, sort of like night mode but only 3 vexes spawning.
• The player cannot use ranged weapons, however has electrified enchantment equipped, and artifact cooldown is decreased by 33%.
• The player cannot use melee weapons, however has infinite amount of arrows, and artifact cooldown is decreased by 33%.

Obviously, these are just examples, and ideas on how wild these challenges could be.

These challenges, when completed, will reward you with more options to pick from at the end of the tower. For example, you normally have 3 items to pick from when completing the tower, but if you complete one of the challenges, you'll have a 4th item that you can choose. If you complete two at once, you'll have 5 items to pick from, and if you complete 4 of them at once, you'll have 7 items to pick from etc. You'll still be able to take only one item, however this should make tower a bit less rng in terms of rewards, and should provide a lot of replayability.

  Great stuff. Problem is, how would players pick these challenges, and where do they come from?
  Also this is similar to the idea a friend of mine had about tower cards: these essentially come as bonuses whenever you clear a floor and act a lot like Raid Captain banners (except positive) where they add a modifier to the next floor. They come in rarities which dictate the ability, such as a common card that gives you 10% more damage on the next floor or a rare one that makes all mobs on the current floor return on the next floor as allies or ultra rare ones such as a summoned pet that consumes all consumables in a large radius around the player to save time.

  really interesting idea. this combined with different floor types such as parkour floors or survival floors could bring a lot of life to the tower. i especially would like something that at the very least reduces the amount of rng from tower rewards, and extra options coming from optional modifiers sounds really good.
