How to save a copy of a character in Pathbuilder?


Product Discussion


I'm using Pathbuilder 2e on my PC.

But I'm having a difficult time mapping out my character's progression through her levels. I keep selecting different choices to see how things shake out. But if I don't like the changes and want to go back to the previous choice, there isn't an undo option that I am aware of. It can be really tough to re-select the previous options because some of the choices have to be reselected, because they are sub-choices.

Is there a way to save a copy of my character so I can play around with with the copy and then just open the original and be back where I was before?


Can't access a PC right now, but on the android app there's an option to manually save your current character which also gives you the opportunity to create an extra copy. I would assume it's similar on the web version.

Yes, I also assume there's an option. I just can't find it.

In the hamburger (three stacked lines) menu at the top left of the screen you will find a "Save Character" option. It will open a little confirmation window that will have a checkbox that asks if you want to save a new copy.

Yes, I see that. But where is the new copy? How do I name it? How do I call it back and switch between the different copies?

When you go to "Open Character" you will see the list of saved characters, opening one of which and renaming in their name field with something like "Southern Claw (test)" will rename it in the saved character list.

In the Open Character menu you can also create folders, move characters, and switch between Local and Google Drive.
