This skill makes enemy attack leave more grey health bar than they would normally. It allows healing spells to restore more lost health.

You have two health levels, the yellow and the grey. when the yellow is empty you die but the yellow can only be healed to match the grey and each time you take damage you loose a certain amount off of each. With this skill you take much less damage to your grey heath level allowing your healing spells to be much more effective.

That being said, this skill is much more useful to your pawns than it is to you. Your character can use items to raise its health while your pawns will just run around in near death. I put this skill on my fighter main pawn and she is difficult to kill between regenerating health boosts from armor and her ability to regain most of her health through healing spells.
