Many people have asked for step-by-step instructions on how to import dnd4e files. (This information is also included in the app's documentation.) You need to export your .dnd4e files from the Character Builder (web or desktop) and upload the files to a remote server. You can use any service that lets you upload an arbitrary file; a lot of people like iplay4e.com or dropbox.

1. Upload your .dnd4e files to a remote server. If you're using iplay4e, create a new character and then upload your .dnd4e file using the upload feature.

2. In Drums of War HD, go to the Tools tab and tap the + sign to add a new External Source.

3. Add any name you want for the source name. For the URL, use the URL of the service you uploaded your character to.

4. HTTP Basic Authentication is only used if you are downloading from a server that requires it; leave that blank if you're not sure.

5. Tap "Import Data" (you need to be on wifi or 3G).

6. A browser window will open to the URL you entered. You should be able to log in and select the file you uploaded. Drums of War HD will detect the file type and import the character.

DDI Integration:

Here's some other things to try:

From your home screen, open the Settings app for your device and scroll down until you see the Drums of War HD settings. Tap to open the settings. Add your DDI account information (user and password). This is stored locally on your device so you don't have to enter it over and over between sessions.

Go back to a character you've imported and look at powers, feats, class features, etc. There should be a URL with a link to DDI. If you tap on the link, Drums of War HD will display the Compendium information about that power, feat, etc! The first time you log in it may take a bit to authenticate to the DDI servers and redirect your request.
