Go forth and aid the weak!
Henzell says...
  1. Base hunger rate is 3, always at least 1. Fast metabolism increases hunger by 1 per level of the mutation, slow metabolism 1 or 2 decreases by 1, slow metabolism 3 decreases by 2. Trolls have hunger rate increased by 3 in addition for a base hunger of 9. For comparison, a {chunk} gives 1000 nutrition.
  2. Other effects: haste +5, invisibility +5, regen spell +4, regen ring +3, troll leather armour +1.5. Regeneration effects and items only increase hunger rate while you are injured. If worshipping Cheibriados, multiply result by (3/4).
