In Dragon Quest IX, the Hero begins the game as this class. It has limited healing and offensive spells on top of the ability to wield Fans, Swords, Whips, and Shields. Their Coup-de-Grace is "Rough N' Tumble," which increases evasion and counterattack chances.
Minstrels serve as a jack-of-all-trades class that can handle damage, spellcasting, healing, and distraction. This allows early players to test out various aspects of classes.

Despite this, Minstrels are still a respectable class, and can be kept as a multitasker in the party. They also have some features from the Troubadour, Dancer, and Jester classes.
