==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 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]]===
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 {{Dragon Quest IX}} and subsequent titles, with martial artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.

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 dungeons.

The M.A.'s hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a [[Dancer]] to do so.

The '''Martial Artist''' (Monk) vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus". Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn {{Fan}}s, {{Staves}}, {{Claw}}s, and {{Fisticuff}} skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Roaring Tirade," which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.
