1) Departing with 0 favors will no longer result in potential character loss. However, it can result in severe penalties for a period of time, so it should not be taken lightly.

2) Depart now has three options:

a) DEPART -- Lose all coins, items go in grave.

b) DEPART ITEMS -- Keep items, lose coins.

c) DEPART COINS -- Keep coins, items go in grave.

d) DEPART FULL -- Keep coins and items.

3) Departing will result in a short term penalty to effectiveness. The more favors you have (1 per 10 circle is ideal), the lower the penalties and duration.
