Your Main Pawn in Dragon’s Dogma 2 will stick with you through thick and thin. No matter where you go, they will stay by the Arisen’s side. Because of this, it is important to make sure you have a top-notch Pawn. They need a specialization – something that will help them stand out. After giving them one, can you switch it? Can you change Pawn specialization in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Changing your Pawn’s specialization
You can change your Pawn’s specialization in Dragon’s Dogma 2 by selecting a new specialization scroll. This replaces the current specialization. If you want a previous specialization back, you need to get a new scroll.
How to switch Pawn specialization in Dragon’s Dogma 2?
You can change your Pawn’s specialization in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Unfortunately, this is a change that cannot be undone. For instance, if you give your Pawn the specialization tome for Logistician and then change it using the Chirurgeon’s Tome, you won’t be able to make your Pawn a Chirurgeon again.

When an Arisen is choosing what specialization to add to their Pawn, keep in mind what each specialization does. These jobs have the following effects on your Pawn:
| Specialization | Effect | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Logistician | Pawn is able to combine items in your inventory or theirs to create new items. | Complete the Heel of History quest in Vernworth |
| Chirurgeon | Pawn is able to use curatives and heal allies | Complete the Medicament Predicament side-quest in Melve. |
| Forager | Marks all the locations of minerals and items you can forage | Complete the Heel of History quest in Vernworth |
| Hawker | Let’s the Pawn purchase items from your backpack | Increase your affinity with the armourer in Vernworth |
| Aphonite | Silences the Pawn in most instances | Given by Eini in Melve after raising his affinity |
| Woodland Wordsmith | Teaches your Pawn to speak Elvish | Increase your affinity with the Elves in Sacred Arbor |
Each of these specializations has a prerequisite. For instance, to get the Forager Specialization, you must complete a quest in the Vernworth slums for Malcolm called Heel of History. If you want to get the Woodland Wordsmith specialization, you must interact with the elves and perform specific tasks.
You cannot keep switching specializations. Once you have gotten rid of a previous specialization, you cannot get it back unless someone gifts you a scroll or you enter a new game plus.
