As title. If a soldier has a bonus ability which doesn't fit (eg I got Lightning Reflexes on a sniper... I think he's never been shot at in 20 missions), can I retrain him so as to get a chance at a different bonus?

No, the cross class perk is determined when you first obtain the character. Retraining will not change the skill.

    This is actually useful, as you can retrain somebody's skills once you see what their cross class skill is, so that the other skills work with it better. If a sniper has lightning reflexes, maybe it would make more sense to make them use pistols and get up on the enemy.

  • @DCShannon on the other hand, having a squad of serial rangers would make the game even easier than it is :)

  • Yeah, that would be nice. The point remains, though. I got rapid shot on a grenadier and retrained a bit. Would have hated to lose that.

    On the other hand, retraining before unlocking the cross-class perk... will re-roll the cross-class perk!

  • @RavenDreamer: does this mean that for a soldier who missed getting his/her AWC bonus because it was "rolled" at an early level before the AWC was built will never get a perk or does it mean that he/she will have a chance at getting one on retraining?

Related to this: while you can't change the perk (as z' noted), there is a mod that lets you choose which perk you get.

Chooseable AWC Perks

Currently it's only available on the Steam Workshop, not at Nexusmods.
