Lifestyle

Adventurers who spend much time in a place are likely to need to buy food, shelter, and the usual trifles of daily living. Rather than itemize each expense, a PC can simply spend an fixed amount for each day they spend living outside of a ship’s crew, barracks, or other arranged living situation.

Prices given here assume short-term rentals and contracts, plus the inevitable premium charged to out-siders in almost any society. Natives might be able to enjoy a given level of lifestyle for only half as much, but such savings usually rely on a local’s connections.

Slum lifestyles reflect bare minimums for survival, with scanty food, a corner in a squat somewhere, and little else.

Poor lifestyles involve barracks-like quarters, public transport, and small and infrequent luxuries. 

Common lifestyles usually allow for a private urban apartment or rural home, a rented personal vehicle, a respectable wardrobe, and regular small indulgences. 

Good lifestyles permit a private urban townhouse or similar dwelling, a spacious rural home, a better grade of personal vehicle, and the ability to indulge in minor expenses such as restaurants or clubs without concern. 

Elite lifestyles allow for entire floors of luxury buildings or rented rural estates, drivers and on-call gravflyers, personal staff, and similar perks.

Peerless lifestyles are similar to that of pampered celebrities and oligarchs, with round-the-clock staff service, free entrance into the most exclusive locales, and the best of everything.
