Collection of vague ideas around a new “chef” role:

• Immunity to choking.
• Gets bonuses of some sort for being satiated.
• Either starts with a tinning kit and tin opener and gets a bonus from making tins, or eating from tins is a disgrace to their palate and gives them penalties.
• Hungers faster than normal, but is able to get extra nutrition out of corpses if they properly prepare them.
• May have similarities to hobbit races in some variants with regards to food mechanics.

Loadstones operate more subtly: they increase their weight every time you pick up a new item (one that you haven’t touched yet in the game). At some weight threshold, it autocurses and becomes undroppable.

Carrying a loadstone makes all stone-type missiles (slung ammo, etc) deal double damage - increasing the payload of stones. Also, when blessed or uncursed, it doesn’t weigh as much as cursed.
