LIFESTYLE EXPENSES

Expenses


When not descending into lhe depths of the earth,
exploring ruins for lost treasures, or waging war againsl
the encroaching darkness, adventurers face more
mundane realities. Even in a fanlastical world, people
require basic necessilies such as shelter, sustenance,
and clothing. These things cost money, allhough some
lifestyles cosI more lhan others.

Lifeslyle expenses provide you with a simple way lo
accounl for the cost of living in a fantasy world. They
cover your accommodations, food and drink, and ali
your olher necessities. Furthermore, expenses cover the
cosi of maintaining your equipment so you can be ready
when advenlure nexl calls.
At lhe slart of each week or month (your choice),
choose a lifeslyle from the Expenses lable and pay the
price to sustain lhat lifeslyle. The prices lisled are per
day, so if you wish lo calculate the cosI of your chosen
lifestyle over a thirly-day period, multiply the listed price
by 30. Your lifestyle might change from one period lo
lhe next, based on lhe funds you have aI your disposal,
or you might maintain lhe same lifestyle throughout
your character's career.
Your Iifestyle choice can have consequences.
Mainlaining a weallhy lifestyle might help you make
contacts with the rich and powerful, though you run the
risk of altracting thieves. Likewise, living frugally might
help you avoid criminais, but you are unlikely lo make
powerful conneclions.
