About Hunger
Hunger comes from:
The decrementation of satiation per turn via the following causes:
[*] A Ring of Hunger increases this value by 3.
[*] Being under the effect of Regeneration increases this value by 3.
[*] Being under the effect of Haste increases this value by 5.
The decrementation of satiation by a fixed amount via the following causes:
[*] The use of Evocations items (up to 550 hunger).
[*] The casting of spells (up to 1,000 hunger).
[*] The use of Invocations (up to 1,200 hunger).
The decrementation of satiation by a variable amount:
[*] Being hit by an enemy with the hunger brand (up to 3,000 hunger).
Hunger may be reduced by:
The decrease in decrementation of satiation per turn via the following causes:
[*] A ring of sustenance decreases total hunger by 60%.
[*] Worshipping Cheibriados decreases hunger per turn by 1.
The incrementation of satiation by a fixed amount via the following causes:
[*] Using the Vitalization Invocation (500 nutrition).
[*] Eating chunks (1,000 nutrition).
[*] Drinking potions (40 nutrition).
[*] The Porridge effect (6000 nutrition).
The incrementation of satiation by a variable amount via the following causes:
[*] Eating permanent food.
A player may have approximately 6,000 nutrition in food saved per level, if they are fortunate. This food may be stockpiled for use in dangerous situations, particularly for the casting of hungering spells or the use of rods.
The most common source of nutrition is chunks.
To increase the use of chunks:
[*] Acquire resistance to poison (gives access to nutrition from poisonous corpses, largely contaminated).
[*] Acquire the gourmand intrinsic (via an amulet of the gourmand).
[*] Acquire the carnivore intrinsic: via mutation. (Allows you to eat successively higher amounts of chunks.)
[*] Acquire the saprovore intrinsic: via mutation as a Demonspawn or increase in magnitude as an Ogre, Kobold or Hill Orc. (Allows you to eat rotting chunks up to the threshold of the carnivore intrinsic).
Decreasing the use of chunks:
[*] Nausea makes it impossible to eat chunks unless at Near Starving. This status is caused by eating contaminated meat. There is a 50% chance of acquiring this status. If a chunk is eaten at Near Starving and it would cause Nausea, it instead causes the Sick status.
[*] Paralysis prevents the eating of chunks.
[*] Being unable to eat prevents the eating of chunks.
[*] Having the Herbivore intrinsic at level 3 prevents the eating of chunks.
