Besides the Courtier's core "Only the Best" ability, what feats and class abilities boost Lifestyle? I've looked and I guess I just haven't looked hard enough but the book is a little big. Smiley

Repartee Supremacy directly boosts Lifestyle, though there are two pre-req feats before you can get it. Extra Contact and Extra Holding give you bonus prizes. Those are all the ones I noticed in a quick 10 second glance at the Feats section.

General Lifestyle Boosts:
Each modifier point of charisma adds +1 Lifestyle, so all species feats and talents that add that are good.
Courtier's "Rise to Power" feature at 5, 9, 13 and 17.
The Repartee Supremacy feat adds 1 lifestyle.

Panache:
Aristocrat Specialty adds 2 Panache.
Corsair Specialty adds 2 Panache.
Swashbuckler's Core ability adds 1 Panache in addition to other goodness.
Elemental Heritage (Crystal) adds 2 Panache. (bling?)

Prudence:
Industrious talent adds 3 Prudence through Yeoman's Work feat.
Merchant Specialty adds 2 Prudence.
Wizard Specialty adds 2 Prudence.
The Keeper's "Right Tools": "Miser" adds 2 Prudence.
Yeoman's Work adds 3 Prudence.

That's all I found using "ctrl+f" and Lifestyle, Prudence and Panache.  I think that's it. Smiley

Further, there are many things that modify Charisma, especially if you're an elf:
Talents: Charismatic, Svelte, Striking, or Gifted/Ruthless

Specialty (whichever is lower): Merchant (or Int), Mystic(or Con), Shaman (or Wis), Swindler (or Dex).

Basic Class Abilities: Captain's Allure adds 1 Cha at 5, 9, 13, and 17; Courtier's Eloquence adds 1 Cha (or Int if lower) at 4, 12, and 20; Mage raises the highest of Int, Wis or Cha by 1 at 2, 11, and 19; Sage can choose Eloquence through Cross-Training.

Advanced Classes: Paladin's Gallantry increases Str AND Cha by 1 at 6 and 10.

Species Feats: Angelic Heritage increases the higher or Wis or Cha/Angelic Legacy increases the lower of Wis or Cha by 1.   Faerie Heritage increases the higher of Dex or Cha/Faerie Legacy increases the higher of Dex or Cha by 1 AGAIN.  Sea Elder for Ogres increases Cha by 2 but requires Sea Brave.  Spider Noble for elves increases the lower of Int or Cha by 1 but requires you to have Spider Nation.  Unearthly splendor increases the lower of Dex or Cha by 1 and can be taken up to 3 times! 

Style Feats: Comely increases Cha by 1.  Enchanting adds 1 Cha but requires Comely and Elegant.

Although rarer, an artifact that boosts your Charisma attribute would also boost your Lifestyle.

Appearance bonuses may not help for Lifestyle, but as we’re talking about Panache and Charisma, it follows in the same vein.

Appearance bonuses:
(all +1 unless otherwise noticed)

Talents: Elf, Agile, Striking

Specialty: Artisan

Courtier: Only the Finest (+2 you and your party)

Feats: Angelic Heritage, New Leaf (Whitebark), Unearthly Splendor, Elegant

Page 9 under the "Impairment" heading states that temporary bonuses (which I would think an artifact was) don't affect Lifestyle

Artifacts have a special rule on this, as part of their kewlness factor (pg 196):

"Because an artifact is intrinsically linked with its owner, attribute bonuses it grants are considered permanent
changes (i.e. they can affect his vitality, wounds, skill points, Lifestyle, etc.)."
