The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Butouka'') is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high {{Agility}}, {{Resilience}}, and {{Strength}}, but zilch for 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.
Martial artists have a great amount of {{Agility}} and {{Strength}}, as befitting a life dedicated to physical fitness. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, but their equipment pool is much more limited than that of a [[Warrior]]'s. For example, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in {{Dragon Quest III}} a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her {{Attack}} power will drop considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists also 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 Warriors it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armour consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement, as heavier armour would interfere with their mobility and hamper their fighting style.


===[[Critical Hit]]===
A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a [[Critical Hit|critical hit]] on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at the standard fixed {{fraction|1|64}} chance that is common throughout the series. In all versions of {{Dragon Quest III}} the formula is '''LvL/256''', capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For {{Dragon Quest VI}} and {{Dragon Quest 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.

Th Martial Artist is one of the basic classes available. It is one of the prerequisites for the [[Gladiator]] {{Vocation}} (along with [[Warrior]]), and for the [[Paladin]] vocation (along with [[Priest]]).
System changes have made the calculations for the Martial Artist's critical hit rate more complicated than before, being a complex combination of their luck stat, a hidden benchmark stat shared between all vocations, and their own hidden chance modifier. For more details, see the [[Critical Hit]] page.
====Stats====
Calculated using the [[everyman]] personality.

===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.

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 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, having expanded their selection of weapons considerably from the days of ''III''. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is [[Roaring Tirade]], which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.
As mentioned above, a Martial Artist is no more likely to land a [[Critical Hit]] than a character with the same {{Deftness}} stat.
