Consequences of eating dead monsters: acid blob, giant ant, giant beetle, dragon, homunculus, kobold, snake, vampire: poison (save: 1 in 5). bat: you become confused. cockatrice: you turn to stone. dog, human: you aggravate all monsters. dragon: you can resist fire. floating eye: you become telepathic. freezing sphere, yeti: you can resist cold. invisible stalker, yellow light: you become confused.

Belly limit: 1499 units Side effects of ordinary food: tripe: gain 1 experience point; 1 chance in 2 of throwing it up carrot: in Quest, improves vision by 1 fortune cookie: contains a message Eating restores 1 strength point unless it leaves you weak or satiated. As far as fortune cookies...I never used to get them either. Then I stop killing my dog right away. Does this have something to do with the "luck" attribute people talk about? I don't know if it is a valid correlation. After you eat the fortune cookie a message will appear. I have discovered several "incorrect" items in the original posting of this article. Through play (not source peeking), I have found the following that contradict the original item: >Side effects of canned food: > salmon makes your fingers slippery for 1-15 turns > spinach makes you stronger (18/01-18/00 if you are > 16; > 18/01 otherwise) I have had a strength of 9 go to 18/86, and a strength of 16 go to 17 before. >Consequences of eating dead monsters: > ... > invisible stalker, yellow light: you become confused. In Quest, > also improves your vision by 1. In hack, eating an I also allows you to see invisible. >Side effects of ordinary food: > tripe: gain 1 experience point; 1 chance in 2 of throwing it up > carrot: in Quest, improves vision by 1 > fortune cookie: contains a message A carrot in hack will also cure blindness. Poison resistance: If you find a potion of healing or extra healing, save it. When you kill a killer bee, eat it and then quaff the potion on your next turn.
