A player character wielding a dagger will turn as he moves, but retains his orientation when crossing room boundaries. This is different from weaponless characters, which turn even across room boundaries.

This is rarely important, but it could matter if the player has picked up a dagger through a token and reverts to a sword when exiting the room. Then the expected behaviour would be for the player to face away from the room boundary after exiting, like with swordless tokens.

In 5.0.2 it is consistent with being unarmed - leaving a room will change the orientation just as if you were disarmed.

This issue appears to have been fixed for 5.0.2. I face the same direction after leaving a room exit whether I'm a swordless character or wielding a dagger.
