Suggestion description
As the title says; all zombies will have the ability to Feed on a corpse, just as ones who have the Digestion skill currently can. If the corpse was "fresh" (meaning not reviving, and has not yet been fed on 10 times, as currently required to gain XP by feeding) the zombie would gain 1 XP. Zombies with Digestion would also gain up to 4 HP, as normal.
The purpose behind this suggestion is primarily to allow zombies who have few or no zombie skills a method of gaining XP that is not painfully slow and is in character. Currently the best method of gaining XP for low level zombies (in the likely absence of survivors) is to attack other zombies, which is very "out of genre". Eating fresh corpses, on the other hand, is something EVERY zombie loves, and should be allowed and encouraged to do!
