Hi,

there was something cheesy into the life style so I make a few computation.

High Style cost 10.000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) , but give starting money equal to 4D6 x 500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) , you can add +12 to the roll for an extra 1200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) .

Wich means you can get from (4+12) x 500 = 8.000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) to (24+12) x 500 = 18.000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) for 'spending' 11.200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) (10.000 life style + 1.200 unspendt).

So you get a balance of -3.200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) to +6.800 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) with an average of + 1.800 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) .

So basically living the good life is free, even giving you money to spendt elsewhere while providing you all the benefit of the lifestyle (food, lodgement, security, healthcare). Sound really weird for a game supposed to be set in a grim and street level.

Of course you will only benefit of the luxury for a few month (until you fail your rent roll) but the free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) are keepers. The chance to lose money in the scam is of 15.89%, not entirely dismissable but it is not like you dont get nothing in return even if you lose a few bucks...
