The other says that practicing a profession gets you a modest lifestyle, being in a guild gets you a comfortable lifestyle, and playing an instrument gets you a wealthy lifestyle. No mention of survival is made.It's stupid that roughing it (ie - relying on survival skill) means that:"you can afford nicer clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a small cottage in a middle-class neighborhood or in a private room at a fine inn. You associate with merchants, skilled tradespeople, and military officers"While being a professional healer means that you're wandering around in ill maintained equipment, threadbare clothing, hang out with thieves and general scumbags etc. That's if it's poor. Modest seems more likely, but it's still worse off than the survival guy.Finally - you're a no-name musician with a low charisma bonus? Guess what - you get to live like a highly successful merchant, with a nice house, servants, the whole shebang. Everyone who can pick up a lute is a rock star apparently.Finally, most PCs can just cast 1 first level spell per day (or less, if you get a sucker willing to pay 50gp for it!) and live like aristocrats, tended by herds of servants and hobnobbing with the mayor and the like.</blockquote>
