Changing MP "Party Leader" in the save game

My friend and I started a MP game on the weekend, at my house. I emailed him the game save file so he could host from his house going forward. What we didn't realize is that the game is hard coded to my character being the leader. We would really like to change that to his character so he can host and I can still play my character.

Is there a way to change something in the save game file to reassign the character that is the default multiplayer leader?

Thanks in advance

PS: If that doesn't work, I'll have to try and figure out my networking side, I gues -- /scary!!

    You'll have to export both those characters and then import them back into the game once you're in the arbitration screen. Keep in mind that all 'special abilities' that the PC had will still be on your old host's character, while any new ones will be learned by the new host, and he wont learn any older ones if you're already far into the game.
