In The Witcher computer game
In the course of playing The Witcher, the player character, Geralt, earns XP, or experience points. Completing quests and defeating monsters is the primary way to earn XP, but sometimes simply speaking to the right NPC at the right time also results in XP.
By accumulating these points, Geralt periodically increases in level. The first level requires 1000 XP, and each subsequent level increase requires 1000 more XP than the last. Each time this occurs, Geralt receives an increase to his Vitality and Endurance, as well as new talents. These talents can then be allocated in the Hero panel during meditation and can be used to learn new skills.
Every ten levels, he also increases in rank, although this does not really confer any additional benefits other than the title.

In The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
In The Witcher 2, Geralt can progress through a maximum of 35 character levels, each of which requires 1000 experience points. For each level, Geralt's vitality increases and he can also allocate one talent to one of the four skill trees. Before talents can be allocated to Swordsmanship, Alchemy or Magic, the Training tree must be fully filled out which means that the first 6 talents Geralt earns (progressing to level 6) are already spoken for, although you do get to choose the order in which they are allocated, to a point.
After the training tree is filled out, the other three trees are unlocked and talents can be allocated to any of them, provided the prerequisites have been met.
