Hi all,

I recently was asked if you needed to pay lifestyle on TUs spent for Magic Item Creation. I thought no, but couldn't find a reference (and may well be wrong).

For the record, do you also need to pay lifestyle on the extra TU if you spend a TU making a perform check?

Cheers,

It's in the "FAQ" section of the LGCS.

Q. I am confused on time units and lifestyle. When I spend TU's on various things what requires me to pay lifestyle and which ones do not?

A. You must pay lifestyle on any TUs spend [sic] on the following: Adventuring, meta-orgs (unless the organization states otherwise), magic item creation, time spent on spellcasting or NPC spellcasting, or time spent in jail or out of play. You do not have to pay lifestyle on TU's spent on Nonadventuring activity as described in Chapter Six.

This is why I'm glad my crafting druid always lives off the wild...

Ha, yeah, you'd be in the poorhouse paying for all of your crafting TUs.

Even without the skills, just live off the wild and fail. Take the penalties and save the gold.
