Is it possible to reassign an existing player's character to a new player?
By way of explanation, I am the DM of a campaign. One of my more technophobic players has lost the account details he uses to log in to DDB. For whatever reason, normal recovery methods are not working. Consequently he has created an all-new log in account on Google specifically for DDB.
Is it possible for me as the DM to reassign his old character to his new account? Do I need to Deactivate the character first? I don't see any options after trying this at the moment but the alternative is to completely recreate his character as an unassigned character and then assign it to his new account.
I apologise if this is a question that has been asked before but the forum search tools didn't come up with any prior instances.
You could try contacting support. There isn't a way to steal a character from an account, the owner has to make it unassigned to be taken (this is a good thing 99.999% of the time).
I had to go the recreation route in the end, which took time but resolved the problem. With pretty much any of my other players this issue would never have arisen!
Many thanks!
