==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 ''DQIII'', a M.A.'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 continously 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 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'', with martial artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.
