I am wondering about the cost of living rules in the Pathfinder Rulebook(p. 405).
I would assume a character maintaining a Wealthy or Extravegent lifestyle would have a staff of servants to maintain their residence. Would the cost of these servants be assumed into the cost of living, or shoudl it be payed seperately (1 sp/day for maids, 3 sp or more for a head servant or trained cook). If the cost is assumed, how many would be a reasonable assumption in your opinion?
On an associated note, if a character is maintaining a set cost of living and has a family, would he have to pay full cost of living for each family member, or just an extra, say 50%, per person after the first.
Currently I am playing a nobleman maintaining a wealthy cost of living for himself, his wife and unmarried sister (300 gp per month). Is it feasible that the cost would be lower than 300 because much of the expenses (house, cook, etc.) are already covered for one person or three?
Thanks for any input people have.
