[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 1768180, member: 18832"] Like other posters in the thread, I think monster behaviour is something the DM is free to change. It's also not something that your character is likely to have to worry about - even if they do have ranks in some kind of relevant Knowledge skill, the DM determines what creatures are like in his setting. As for the minutiae of day-to-day existence, such things are very commonly glossed-over and I would suggest that most D&D players are not interested in playing [i]Survival: the Upkeep[/i]. However, it's not unreasonable for your character to want to make a bit of spare change out of furs and whatnot, assuming they have the skill. But none of the problems you raise are about role-playing [i]per se[/i]. Role-playing is about personalities, assuming the point of view of another person. That can be immersive, like playing a part on stage, like writing a character in a novel, like controlling a character in a video game - but it's not significantly about things like buying food and equipment.
