respeced

Respeced is a term that emerged from online gaming communities, particularly those involving role-playing games or games with complex character progression systems. It is a portmanteau of "respect" and "respec," the latter being a common in-game term for resetting a character's abilities or attributes. The concept of "respeced" typically refers to a character or player who has undergone a significant change in their build, strategy, or overall approach. This could be due to a desire to try a new playstyle, adapt to game updates, or overcome specific challenges. It implies a deliberate and often well-thought-out shift in a character's development, rather than a casual or accidental change. The term can sometimes carry a connotation of admiration or a positive acknowledgment of a player's willingness to adapt and innovate within the game's mechanics. It is used to describe the outcome of a respec action and the subsequent new identity or capability of the character.
