You also have two lifestyles, your professional lifestyle - i.e. what you can afford from your paycheck - and your family lifestyle - i.e. what you can afford through inheritance and investments. You can choose to live off of either, effectively meaning you are limited to the higher of the two. I can see why some players might prefer their characters to live on the lower of the two, for roleplaying reasons like disgrace or a rift in the family, but generally the higher of the two would be used.<br /><br />-clashclash bowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867031157318138584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691609183217207055.post-71858906600353222192010-06-09T16:36:12.405-04:002010-06-09T16:36:12.405-04:00Good luck with the playtest!

Shifts the focus back to <i>Adventure!</i> and away from <i>Accountants in Space!</i>Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14192928573798426693noreply@blogger.com
