It's been a long time since we've been this excited by a new PC release.

Also, just make rerolling free. Seriously, I'm just starting dnd, I want to be some kinda spellcasring warrior, and the options are: paladin, warlock, paladin/warlock, paladin/sorcerer, eldritch knight.

Just being able to try out all the different options would help a lot. Not to mention, I'm oathbreaker paladin and you have to pay to fix your oath (1000g), pay to respec, and then break your oath again. It's too much! I accidentally put 2 points in my DEX during character creation but the cost to fix it is just too high right now.

100g ends up being a negligible amount of gold around, like, level 6. I don't disagree it should be free, but the price is extremely low once things start dropping magic items and shit constantly.

Also, don't sweat your build too much. Tactician is 100% beatable with a bog-standard single-class party of companions and a non-min/maxed main character. I didn't respec anyone at any time, and played a Swords bard with fairly bad stat allocation at the start.

My first playthrough was totally blind on Tactician, and I've had 0 experience with 5th edition DnD, and it wasn't too painful. I've played Larian games a lot, so that was in my favor, but even that experience is only really necessary on the hardest fights at the highest difficulty.

100g is nothing, pick up some trash gear off foes and strip their homes clean of anything not nailed down then sell it to the first vendor you find

It's 1100g if you're oathbreaker. 11x more expensive.

Whaaat? That's ridiculous. What the hell is ol' "Withers" even doing with the money? It would be great if he kept upgrading his tent and whatnot with the money you give him for respecs.

You got it wrong. Withers doesn't need the money. He flat out refuses to touch me until I fix my oath (1000g), as if I'm some kinda leper..
