As subscribers, my friends and I have been sharing the characters we've created. Most of us found character portraits that were not part of the sample pics. However, when we uploaded/shared our character profiles (*.dnd4e), none of our character portraits carried over with our downloads.

Perhaps because the program reads the picture file from where you have it saved on your computer. So if you email the .dnd4e to your friends that picture is not saved on their computer, it is still on yours.

I knew why it didn't work. I would think that character portraits should imbed themselves with the *.dnd4e file.

The *.dnd4e files are just fancily named XML files. Just a bit of text in a nifty format. Now, if they could make them archive files like the new Word docs...
