 == Eating Corpses ==
-You now have a shot at all resistances a corpse can give. If a corpse has a 1/3 chance of giving cold resis, a 1/3 of giving poison, you can now get both of those with a 1/9 chance, in addition to getting one or neither.
+You now have a shot at all intrinsic a corpse can give. Each intrinsic is rolled separately, so you can get some, all, or even none.
-Some resistances obtain by corpses now time out after 5000 turns.  These are Fire, Cold, Shock, Sleep, Acid, Displacement, and Drain resistance. Resistances received from leveling up, racial bonuses (i.e. half-dragon breath) and from crowning do not time out. You will receive messages when one times out, and you can use the self-examination command (Ctrl-X) to receive clues about your current resistances.
+The intrinsics possible to obtain are more or less the same as vanilla - fire, cold, shock, sleep, poison, and disintegration resistances, and telepathy, teleportitis, teleport control. The only new one added is displacement - though this is also in 3.7.
