‎Types of resistance: add one more source of poison immunity

Ge0ff: Separate rcorr and relec. relec is a "binary" resistance and it reduces damage to 1/3. rcorr, despite being a single level resist, is not a binary res, so it reduces damage by 50%, similar to rC/rF. See src link

Rank 3 of the mutation also provides 100% protection from mutations (as well as mutation removal). Additionally, having previous mutations may allow you to resist gaining new ones (though that may remove some of them in the process). Undead will always take [[stat drain]] instead of mutating, but mutation resistance will block that drain with the same frequency it would block mutation for a living character.
 *A few other intrinsics act like specialized resistances: [[clarity]] (confusion, frenzy, sleep, mesmerization), [[stasis]] (slow, teleport, paralysis, haste)

 Life protection is handled differently: each level reduces damage taken by a third, meaning level 3 provides total immunity to draining and necromancy. [[Torment]] is also resisted by life protection, using yet another formula.
