MorvarchsPlaystyleExpansions VS RespecMod

Which one---Desna's Shooting Star is one mod (also features Bladed Brush for Shelyn worshippers to get Dex to hit on Glaives and qualify for Slashing Grace), Startoss Style is another mod, and Toggleable Throwing Weapons allows you to correctly use throwing weapons as either ranged weapons or as melee weapons at-will.

If you're playing with mods, Morvach's Playstyle Expansion has a feat that let's you use CHA for attack and damage rolls and Great Radiance can make Radiance a starknife.

Using the Respec mod with the self-imposed restrictions of keeping his alignment, deity, and base stats the same, I'll usually turn him into a Crusader or Champion of the Faith, depending on whether I want him to focus more on his support role or his personal melee DPS.

Both Toybox and the Barley Flour Respec Mod work. I like the latter as it seems less buggy but plenty of people use both.

What I did was, I repec'ed Camillia to level 1 with this mod: https://github.com/BarleyFlour/RespecMod

Of course, if you're on PC, you can use the Respec mod to turn any Companion into anything you want. But that doesn't help console players and some people prefer not to use mods.

You can head-canon it however you like, but you can't actually switch deities without a respec, either by talking to Hilor or using the Respec mod.

My must-have QoL mods are Toybox, Respec, and Bubble Buffs. To the point where I will delay updating WotR until I'm sure these three work with the latest patch.

I prefer Respec Mod for respeccing rather than Toybox, feels less glitchy.

Only with the Respec mod. Note that using mods will also disable Achievements, unless you install Toybox and use its "enable Achievements with mods" setting.
