If you have the Devouring ability, eating corpses can be an excellent way to gain an early game advantage. Undead corpses give no benefit, though they still provide nourishment.
Needs:
-Experience formula ?
-Eating what gives what resistance?
Eating corpses of:
Aether Sponge gives permament pure magic resistance, may give poison poison resistence as well
Elves gives permament fire and cold resistances
Sprites gives inherent bonus to charisma
Shadow Ooze gives permanent Fire, Cold, Poison, Psychic Damage, Sonic Damage resistence [v.0.6.9H]
Shocker Lizard gives permanent Lightening [v.0.6.9H]
Shrieker gives permanent poison, psychic, disease resistance [v.0.6.9H]
If you do not have the Devouring ability, the best result you can get is a small meal, but with or without the skill, you will need to make a wilderness lore check, with an increasing DC the more stale the corpse. Failure indicates the contraction of a Disease.
