The Character attributes panel provides information on Geralt's current state within the game. The information given includes:
- Level – Displays Geralt's current level (up to a maximum of 35), as well as the number of currently available talents and his progress in the current range of experience points to the next level.
Character abilities
Damage– How much damage Geralt can inflict given his current weapon, given as a range. 
Armor– How much protection his current armor and weapon bonuses provide. 
Vitality– His maximum level of vitality, with additional information about vitality regeneration inside and outside of combat. Vigor– His maximum level of vigor, with additional information about vigor regeneration inside and outside of combat as well as with raised toxicity. The maximum level of Vigor is 9 with all the related skills suitably upgraded and wearing the Armor of Ysgith, having used a Maribor Forest potion and wielding the Forgotten Vran Sword. Note, however, that the game will display only 8 bars representing the 9 Vigor levels, and the circle will be empty rather than showing a #9 character (nonagon). Still, you can cast Quen and see that now the circle will show the octagon square with all bars filled, meaning, you have 9 Vigor levels (one used for the Quen.) Resistance – List of active resistances and level of damage reduction. Critical effects – List of active critical effects. Bonus – List of active bonuses.
