Changing class in Baldur's Gate 3, aka a respec option to reset your levels and class progress, is something that you can find relatively early on if you know where to look. The whole thing is tied to the character Withers, a strange undead ally of sorts who can be found early on in Baldur's Gate 3, but will require a smidgen of classic adventuring and dungeoneering to reach - but it's worth it, as the chance to choose your Baldur's Gate 3 class again and redefine yourself is one well worth taking, allowing you to try various builds and more. If you're tempted by the option, here's how to respec in Baldur's Gate 3 and change class.

How to change class in Baldur's Gate 3
To respec your class in Baldur's Gate 3, you need to do it via the NPC Withers. Withers is an undead who we laid out how to find at the end of the Dank Crypt in Baldur's Gate 3, and once you find and speak to him, he'll permanently move to your camp as a sort of highly-specialised merchant. Withers' services are also how to revive dead characters in Baldur's Gate 3, and he can help procure you hirelings - he's a very versatile lich!
And yes, he lets you respec your class too. If you pay him 100 gold, you can effectively repeat that part of character customization from scratch, choosing your new class and levelling up back to what you were - so if you were a level 5 Warlock and choose instead to be a Ranger, you'll spawn at level 1 with four levels immediately to spend however you want, catching you back up to all your Baldur's Gate 3 companions.
