For Modest, this would be 547gp and 5sp per year. And for Rich, this would be 1,825gp per year.Personally, it seems as though it would be best to pay this all as a lump sum, since prestige affects the number of followers you can retain. If your prestige is fluctuating on a day-to-day basis, it could conceivably cause issues with your followers, right? For example, say you are 5th level (+2 Prestige), and are enjoying a Rich lifestyle each day (+1 Prestige), if I am reading the rules correctly you may have up to 3 followers. But what if you suddenly have a day where you choose a Modest lifestyle instead of a Rich one? Does your 3rd follower leave due to the loss of prestige?Maybe I'm thinking about it too much (a very real possibility)?What does the community think? How are you going to handle Lifestyles in A5e?</blockquote>
