BG3 Patch 8 Respec & Reroll Guide – How to Change Your Build Anytime

on

So, you hit level 6, and suddenly your Bard doesn’t slap as hard as you imagined? Or maybe that Wizard build you copied from Reddit isn’t quite you. Don’t worry — Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 8 makes respec’ing smoother than ever. Whether you're fixing a misstep or testing out a whole new class, here’s everything you need to know about rerolling and respec options.

How to Respec in BG3 Patch 8

1. Find Withers (the skeleton dude in your camp):
As soon as you recruit him (usually after reaching your camp following the Dank Crypt), Withers offers a respec service for 100 gold.

2. What You Can Change:

  • Your entire class

  • All ability points and stat distribution

  • Multiclass setup

  • Subclass choices

  • Skills and proficiencies
    Sadly, you can’t change race or origin, so if you’re a Githyanki Barbarian, you're still that — just maybe now with Bard powers.

BG3 Patch 8, Respec & Reroll Guide
Can You Respec Companions?

Yes! Every single companion in your party can be fully respecced by talking to Withers. Want to turn Gale into a Lightning-slinging Sorcerer? Or make Shadowheart a Life Cleric instead of Trickery? Go wild.

Pro Tip: If you're building a custom 4-player party, this opens up wild synergy possibilities for multiplayer or solo tactician runs.

When to Respec

  • After a major patch (like Patch 8) reworks subclasses or adds new balance tweaks

  • When you realize a certain build isn’t working in a specific act

  • To maximize synergy in multiplayer with friends using new Patch 8 subclasses like Hexblade Warlock or Swarmkeeper Ranger

Is There a Limit?

Nope! As long as you’ve got 100 gold, Withers will keep helping you out — no judgment.

Bonus: Modded Respecs

If you're on PC and want more control (like changing race or origin), mods like Customizer’s Compendium and Appearance Edit Enhanced are popular — just ensure they’re Patch 8 compatible.
