[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6326417, member: 18"] Oh boy this is hilarious. If you have a profession, i.e. are an artisan who we've already established can earn 1gp/day, you can only maintain a "Poor" lifestyle (2sp/day). Makes no sense given that unskilled laborers are paid more than that... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Someone who just has the Survival skill, not an actual profession can maintained a "Comfortable" lifestyle (2GP/day!). Dots........ I guess whoever wrote this subscribes to the belief that for most people, the change from Gathering and Hunting to Agriculture and Specialized Roles was a HUGE step down for most people! :D Quite an extreme philosophical position to suggest that a skilled profession is worth 1/10th of a hunter-gatherer! This might be bad phrasing, but having re-read it multiple times I can't get anything else out of it. Also "modest" meals for 1 day cost 3sp? I guess we must be grading entirely by quality/taste, not calories. Fair enough (makes sense for medieval, actually). Love the free optional Trinket - those are cool. [/QUOTE]
