That artisan had: Multiple changes of well-made, colorful clothing, food with various vegetables in it, food that is spiced, food that was cooked in metal pots (allowing for a wider variety of soups and sauces), metal forks and knives, the ability to buy good boots, the ability to buy all sorts of things he didn't make himself, often of much higher quality than anything the hunter-gatherer had ever seen, and dozens of other things representing far more material wealth than a hunter-gatherer tribe could even concieve of. That it is remotely in question that a medieval artisan had far more material wealth than a paleolithic man is exemplary of the ridiculous stretching that has been in evidence from the beginning in order to justify this silly rule.  Right. Almost none of that sounds like it applies to a medieval man living off the land.  Or go live in the woods, according to the PH. Does this make sense to you? No, then you live at Poor, making only 2 sp/day.</blockquote>
