Dragon Quest IX
This ability is learned with 82 skill points allocated into Virtue skill. One infamous exploit is to cast Bounce on the user, which will reflect group attacks such as Kacrackle and Kaboom back to the source four times. This is especially useful for whittling down legacy bosses.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Forbearance is learned by Hendrik through his Fraternity path for 16 points. Because of the prerequisites for unlocking Fraternity, Forbearance can only be learned in Act 3.
Hendrik also uses this ability when he is a non-playable ally during the battle against Mordegon in Heliodor Castle, taking lots of pressure off the official party members and making the fight much easier. Interestingly enough, it is impossible for Hendrik to know Forbearance when he rejoins the party soon afterward, as the Fraternity skill path cannot be unlocked until later on.
