The Weekend Wrap up gave us details regarding changes to the Rage skill and that players would be getting a free respec in case they were unhappy with it. Lead Developer Paul Sage elaborated today explaining exactly how the respec would work and what people can expect. He had this to say:

Respec stands for respecification. In gaming, the term means your can “re-specify” where you allocated your character points. In Tabula Rasa, your abilities points and skill points will be reset You will be able to choose where your ability points are allocated, choose new powers, and get rid of powers that you didn’t like.

The respec will NOT allow you to change your class. For example, you can’t switch from solider to specialist, or even grenadier to spy. Your tier choices will remain the same, but your attribute and skill points will start from scratch.
