Exporting Characters

[Silverkin]

How would one go about taking a character in 1 persons FG Game and exporting him and then joining another friends game just for some mock battles? I don't have the character on my end, it is only on the FG of first persons game.

If you go into manage characters on the players computer they can export the character there and they can supply the XML to the new GM.

If you were controlling the character last time you were connected, then it will be in your player cache. Go into Manage Characters, select the campaign and character, and export to XML.

I logged into manage characters and the campaign the character is in. However there was no characters tab to open to get access to my character. I suppose I need the DM to open up FG for me then export him somehow?

It sounds like the "Characters" option has been unselected in that campaign. Click the "Library" button in the bottom right and then at the top of the "Library" window you can enable the "Characters" button with the check mark, or just click on "Characters" to open the character selection window.

i looked everywhere and there is no library button available when I enter the game via 'manage characters' and the game name.

You don't see this (or something like it) down at the bottom right of the buttons?

This sounds strange. To help us identify the issues, please provide screenshots of:
1) the Manage Characters screen just before you press "Start" - i.e. with the campaign you are going to enter selected.
2) Once you have started manage characters - the whole FG screen once it loads.

My DM has the dark souls background. As you can see I load manage characters and enter 'rappan athuk' campaign we are playing. Once inside there's no library or manage characters or anything showing up like it usually does when I join my DM's open FG game.

Hey guys, my DM just sent me an XML of my character so I just went to manage characters and opened up PFRPG and exported the character in. So should be good. Thanks for the help.
