	Favor gained from releasing an undead is equal to [( character level ÷ 15 ) × creature level )]. Round up the result to the next highest integer. This assumes that the character releases the undead solo and the creature has sustained no previous damage.		Favor gained from releasing an undead is equal to [( character level ÷ 15 ) × creature level )]. Round up the result to the next highest integer. This assumes that the character releases the undead solo and the creature has sustained no previous damage.

	The simple act of witnessing the release of an undead creature grants favor. The percentage of favor gained from witnessing, but not contributing to ~~the~~ ~~release~~, is 30% ~~for~~ ~~Voln~~ ~~masters~~ ~~and~~ ~~20%~~ ~~for~~ ~~non-masters~~.		The simple act of witnessing the release of an undead creature also grants favor. The percentage of favor gained from witnessing, but not contributing in any other way, is 1/3 (33.33%) of total favor. Note: roundup the calculated favor.
			;Example: A level 15 character releasing a level 15 undead creature gains 15 favor. If this character merely observes the release but doesn't contribute in any other way, he/she will receive 5 favor (15/3).

Added a note about when required favor for step advancement is calculated

			The favor required for the next step is calculated when a character attempts to advance to that step. That is, it does not matter what level the character was when starting their advancement. If a character's level increases while gaining favor towards the next step, the favor requirement increases immediately based on the new level.
