Respec perks and re-choose cards

[BrotherXuan]

Hello everyone,

I noticed this game from a long time ago and I saw there will be a full release next month and I finally bought it yesterday.
I am a brand new player to this game and I have never played the tabletop version. I was trying several comp and got a character levelled up but I found that I cannot respec my perks and cannot re-choose the level up card.
As a new player I would love to have a respec mechanic which I can try some interesting things and comps before having a solid understanding of the game.
So my question is will there be a respec mechanic on full release?

In Guildmaster mode, you can do just that. When in the window showing a character's cards, there should be a button in the upper right (above the cards you didn't choose for level up) that will let you restart the character. You'll keep all of your xp (so you can level back up to where you were), all items will still be bound (but you need to re-equip them), all perks reset (but you'll still have the same number to use) and enhancements will be sold (but you get the full price back in gold).

In the Campaign mode, there is no respec option just like the physical board game. You can create a duplicate of the character to make new choices, but they will have their own gold pool, enhancements, personal quest, and can only start at a level less than or equal to Gloomhaven's wealth (just like the board game).

How can I reset a mercenary in Guildmaster?

Click the top right corner while you have a mercenary's hand open in the map screen, then click bottom right corner to reset mercenary. This removes and refunds all enhancements, and resets the cards and perks, putting the mercenary back to level one. All XP is preserved, as is the count of bonus perks.
Items remain bound to the mercenary, though potions will be unequipped beyond the first.
You can now re-level the mercenary, making new card and perk choices.
Alternatively, if you don't re-level, the mercenary will be level one for difficulty calculation purposes.

You won't be able to reset your mercenary in campaign mode.

I will also say that one of the advantages of the physical board game is you can houserule anything you like - I allowed players some limited respecs, for instance. I imagine people will create a mod for that once Campaign has been out for a little bit.
