Exploding Shield: Explosive shield is an upgrade for the protective shield sign. If an enemy manages to attack during a fight, this shield would explode and do some damage to them.

Alchemy Skills

Heightened Tolerance: Equipping this skill gives the character a better tolerance against the side effects induced by potions that the character drinks. The potions when used excessively can end up poisoning Geralt, and this enabling skill helps to reduce that side effect.

Poisoned Blades: Equipping this skill gives the character’s blades a chance to poison the enemies. The chance of poisoning increases with its varied levels of upgradation.

General Skills

Gourmet: Aside from potions, Geralt can also consume food to regenerate his health. Food items have different time periods for which they would continuously regenerate health. Gourmet increases that time to 20 minutes.
