This leads me to several questions. It seems as though the formula is roughly 2 meals + 1 lodging = daily expenses (rounded up to a round-ish number for Moderate). I can kind of see that 5 sp might be what you'd survive on, but 8 sp would be preferable, and 2 gp would be luxurious. But what happens if you're poor and only eating 1 sp? It can't be that all poor people are constantly gaining levels of fatigue or they'd all be dead in a just a few days. What happens if you try to live on 1 sp per day worth of food?Also, how does one go about changing one's prestige modifier through one's lifestyle? Does it take a certain amount of time? What if you eat like a king but live like a beggar?Can anyone shed light on this?</blockquote>
