Patch 1.3.3 also brings more customization choices and a respec option.

Wasteland 3’s patch 1.3.3, “Death and Taxes”, is now available and introduces the highly requested Permadeath mode. Available in single-player only, it sees your party members dying if they’re down for too long. No reviving or any of those shenanigans. Difficult Skill Checks are also available to encourage specializing different squad members.
It essentially allows for increasing checks to Skills, Attributes and Perception by +2 up to +10. Along with dialogue choices, it also applies to equipment so you’ll need to be very careful about each squad-mates role. Fortunately, it’s now possible to respec different party members as well. Just head to the Ranger HQ, go to Manage Squad and choose “Retrain.” Of course, any Quirks, Cyborg Tech or Tarjan Machine perks can’t be changed.
Retraining does come with a cost, which is also shared with recruiting new Rangers. While the first two are free, you’ll need to spend $200 for subsequent recruits and respecs, which increases by 1.75x up to $3000. Other features of the patch include new customization options for characters like makeup, tattoos, masks, helmets and so on. Check out the full patch notes here for more details.
