How to Import Characters in FATE: Reawakened

To transfer a character between campaigns in FATE: Reawakened, navigate to the character selection screen of your destination campaign and select the import option to copy an existing adventurer into an empty save slot.

The import feature creates a duplicate of your character rather than moving the file permanently. Your original hero remains intact in their original campaign, allowing you to run both save files independently.

Steps to Transfer a Character

Follow this process to import an established adventurer into a different campaign:

Save and Exit: In your current game, save your progress and return fully to the main menu. Leaving a game suspended mid-dungeon can prevent your newest gear and stat changes from appearing in the transfer directory.
Open the Destination Campaign: From the master hub, launch the specific title or campaign you want to play.
Open Character Management: On the main menu, go to the character select screen rather than choosing to start a new game.
Choose the Import Option: Select the on-screen "Import Character" prompt.
Select Your Source Hero: Browse the list of recognized character files and highlight the hero you want to transfer. Check the preview window to confirm your character level, equipment, and pet status.
Assign to an Empty Slot: Confirm the selection and assign the copied character to an open save slot.
Enter Town: Load the new save file and inspect your inventory, gold total, and equipped items to verify the transfer succeeded.

What Carries Over During Character Import

When you import an adventurer, combat progression transfers completely, but campaign-specific quest flags reset so you can play through the destination story from the beginning.

Character Level & Stats	Carries over	Retains total experience, health and mana values, and unspent stat points.
Attributes & Skills	Carries over	Preserves all allocations in Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Magic, and weapon proficiencies.
Equipped Gear	Carries over	Keeps weapons, armor, socketed gems, enchantments, and active set bonuses.

Quests & Story Flags	Resets	Story objectives, local bounties, and town-specific side quests start fresh.

Troubleshooting and Gameplay Notes

Character Not Appearing in Directory: If a recent character does not show up in the import list, launch the source campaign, save the game in town, and exit completely back to the main menu to force the local directory to update.
Avoid Identical Character Names: Giving the same name to multiple characters across different campaigns can make identifying the correct source file difficult in the import preview menu.
Early-Floor Difficulty: Transferring a high-level hero into a new campaign can trivialize early dungeon floors. Descend rapidly through dungeon levels or use town portals until the enemy levels match your hero's tier to regain balanced experience gains and appropriate loot drops.
