Upkeep will be used, from DMG 130. Let the DM know what level of upkeep you're choosing, which may affect interactions with NPCs, particularly the local elites.
| Cost/month (sp) | Level of upkeep | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Self-sufficient | Even if you live with someone else, raise your own food, make your own clothes, and so on, you occassionally need to purchase a new pair of shoes, pay a road toll, or buy staples such as salt. |
| 5 | Meager | You eat little (or hunt and gather a fair amount of your food in the wild) and sleep in flophouses and occassionally in the street or in the wild. |
| 12 | Poor | The most basic of traveler's accomodations, but better than living on the street or in the woods |
| 45 | Common | You live in inns and eat tavern meals every day, with an occassional night drinking in the tavern or a nice glass of wine with dinner. |
| 100 | Good | You stay in your own room at inns, and eat healthy, solid meals with a glass of wine. You maintain a jaunty style with your clothing and try to keep yourself supplied with the good things in life. |
| 200 | Extravagant | You buy and use only the best. You take the finest rooms in the finest inns, eat lavish meals with the best wines, attend and throw stunning parties, have regal clothing, and make flamboyant gestures through large expenditures. You may even own your own impressive home with servants. |
