The Inorganic Physiology page has some grammatical issues.

The summary currently reads: "The ability to being made of inorganic matter. Users of this ability are unaffected by many things which would be lethal to organic beings or even undead."
It should be changed to: "The ability to be made of inorganic matter. Users of this ability are unaffected by many things which would be lethal to organic beings or even the undead."

Resistance to Poison currently reads: "As the users have no organic functions, like living creatures would, common poison is ineffective against them."
It should be changed to: "As users of this ability have no organic functions, common poison would be ineffective against them."
 
to being made of -> to be made of, I agree

THE is very specific way of marking undead that might exclude some beings that qualify. That part should remain as a semi-vague term for Inorganic Physiology.

You use "the undead" because undead is an adjective.
The same way "People tend to look down on the poor." is far more proper than "People tend to look down on poor."

I don't see how it excludes anyone.

Well, from that angle, it makes sense.

Also, as I didn't say before, I'm fine with the resistance to Poison update

8 days have passed since the CRT is made, with no one else chiming in. For a simple grammar fix, I guess it's fine to apply.
