Grenth's Balance

Skill description
If target foe has more health than you, you gain half the difference (up to your maximum health), and that foe loses an equal amount.

Usage Notes
How it works:
 * Armor and Protecting Skills, get Ignored by grenths ballance.
 * If you have more (current !) Health than your target foe this Skill has no effect!
 * If you have (almost) full health this skill has (almost) no Effect.
 * If your Maximum (!) Health is low this skill has a low maximum Effect because it only steals up to your max health.

Therefore:
 * You better only use a vigor Rune and NO Mayor/Superior Attribute Runes to maximize your gainable Health.
 * You better use Items that increase health and your foe better use items that increase Armor (or increase health).
 * Morale Boosts or Death Penalties have a high effect on this Skill because they change maximum Health (by -60% to +20%).
 * Level Difference. Because damage bonus by level difference gets ignored on Grenth's Balance, and because higher levels have more health, you better use this skill on higher levels.

Summary: Grenth's Balance can be used at the beginning of a fight in order to take out half of your foe's HP. (Preferably a high-HP foe like a Guild Lord or Ghostly Hero for example). You should first cast self-damaging spells, though it increases the amount of stolen Health.
