• How To Reset A Character's Talent Points

Like most RPGs, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader lets players heavily customize character builds. With the sheer number of choices available at each level-up, it's easy to find yourself experiencing serious FOMO when it comes to picking new Talents.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - 7 Best Talents For Abelard

Talents are passive abilities that you can use in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Here, you can learn the best talents to assign to Abelard Werserian.

It's easy to miss, but you can actually reset your team's progression at any time, right from the bridge of your voidship. You can also create custom companions to join your retinue, tailoring the perfect squad to meet your piratical daemon-slaying needs. Level up without regret, because a do-over is just a few clicks away!

How To Reset A Character's Talent Points

High Factotum Janris Danrok is one of the many crew members on the Von Valancius flagship that introduce themselves at the end of the Prologue. He can be found near the Galaxy Map, standing by a console just off to the side opposite the Command Throne.

Speaking to Janris allows you to respec any member of your party; select the dialogue option that states your retinue is in need of training, and he'll bring up the talent reset screen.

Resetting a character's Talents lets you choose new upgrades for every Rank that they've earned by leveling up, even ones that they earned before they joined your retinue. You cannot, however, change their base stats and skills, nor their Homeworld, Origin, or Starting Archetype.

You can change a character's second Archetype, in case Vanguard Cassia isn't working out for you like you thought it would.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Best Crime Lord Build

The Crime Lord Origin makes an excellent sniper in Warhammer 40,000.

How To Create Custom Companions

If you have a very specific party build in mind, or you've fired your entire retinue because you suspect them of heresy and treason, Janris also allows you to recruit custom companions by telling him that you wish to recruit skilled fighters. Doing so brings you to a Character Creation screen similar to the one at the beginning of the game.

Custom characters have all the same options available to them as the Lord Captain, but they do not get a Moment of Triumph or Darkest Hour. They also cannot be xenos or abhumans, so no filling out your entire team with Astartes and Drukhari.
