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.
