Does this reduce the damage your soldier takes when hit? I can't find Will on the XCOM Wiki. There is a skill called Will to survive and this is what it does: "Reduces normal damage taken by 2 if in cover and not flanked."

Will is combination of 3 stats from classic game: Morale , Psionic Strength and Psionic Skill.
Advantages of higher Will stats:
- less chance of panicking
- higher chance to be psi gifted
- less susceptible to alien psi attacks
- more effective in their own psi skills
Will to survive skill is unrelated to Will stat.

are you sure your own will makes your psi attacks more likely to hit? If thats the case, I wonder if using a smoke grenade with the will buff, a psychic will buff skill, and a stim would make my psychic a super psychic that can even mind control ethereals and sectoid commanders.– l IOct 18, 2012 at 13:19

1@yx: AFAIK, the chances of attack success are dependent on difference between your will and opponent's will; and yes, apparently using smoke buff is standard tactic (haven't tried it yet)– vartecOct 18, 2012 at 13:29
