Changes: Quen (character development)

The Quen attribute governs the use of the sign. There are five basic levels, each with a selection of attributes, and five levels of special attack (Student, Apprentice, Specialist, Expert, and Master). The full Quen attribute tree can be found here or by clicking on the tree icon to the right.

Contrary to its description, the Quen Sign renders Geralt invincible rather than providing damage absorption based on Sign level.
