When you choose to change your class, you’ll be brought to a menu similar to that you used to create or select your character at the beginning of the game. Here, you canselect a new classand evenalter your stat spread.
After confirming your new class, you’ll return to camp at level one, but withall the experienceyou had previously, allowing you to level up in your new class.
you’re able to also use this service simply toreset yourself to level one without changing classes. This is useful for changing subclass selections, learning new spells, or changing the feats you chose previously. For only 100 gold, mistakes in your build are cheap to correct.
It is possible to change not only the classes of custom charactersand Hirelings, but also ofregular party members, like Astarion and Shadowheart. This is handy if you want them in your party but find that their classes or roles in battle don’t fit your party makeup.
While any class changes you make to named characters will be reflected in gameplay, though, they arenot reflected in the story. For example, you can change Shadowheart’s deity in-game, but in terms of the story, she will always function as a Cleric of Shar.
