The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Budouka'') is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high Agility, Strength, and Resilience, but low magical capability.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Martial artists have a great amount of {{Agility}} and {{Strength}}. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, and can be equipped with a variety of weapons. However, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in {{III}}, a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her {{Attack}} power will lower considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists have a very limited armor selection, particularly when it comes to shields and headwear. This can be a boon to the party's finances as unlike [[Warrior]]s, it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armor consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement.

===[[Critical Hit]]===
===[[Critical Hit|Critical hits]]===
A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a critical hit on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at a fixed {{fraction|1|64}} chance throughout the game. In all versions of {{III}} the formula is '''LvL/256''', capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For {{VI}} and {{VII}} the formula is dependent on the character's rank in the vocation, capping at {{fraction|1|8}} when the vocation is mastered. Critical hits utilize a character's [[Deftness]] in {{IX}} and subsequent titles, with martial artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.

===Usefulness===
===Usefulness===
The M.A.'s skill Wind Sickles is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the M.A. is required in order to become a [[Gladiator]] and [[Paladin]]. The great thing about Martial Artists is that these two classes combine to make a [[Champion|Godhand]]. The Godhand is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the []bonus dungeon]]s.
