The concept of a skill refers to a physical action that cannot be described as a regular attack or a spell, and there exists a great variety of actions contained therein. A skill can be something as simple as [[Rib-Tickler|cracking a joke]] to summoning a [[That Special Summon|demigod from another dimension]], and as carefree as gently [[Hymn of Air|strumming a harp]] to filling oneself with [[Channel Anger|overwhelming rage]]. Skills can be differentiated from spells in the following ways between each game in the series:

==Breath skills==
Monsters breathing fire has been a part of world mythology since prehistory, and has been a part of the Dragon Quest series since the beginning. All breath attacks can be doubled in power for one turn by using [[Deep Breath]] on the previous turn. Breath attacks are the skills closest to spells in that they have a series of counter abilities just like magic: [[Insulatle]] reduces damage, [[Backdraft]] bounces the attack back, and [[Gobstopper]] prevents a character from using breath altogether, and so on.

==Monster-mauling skills==
===Water skills===
These attacks deal more damage to members of a specific [[Monster Families|monster family]].
Water did not exist as a distinct element until the addition of the [[Splish]] family of spells in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3]]'', which would remain exclusive to that game until the Splish line reappeared in ''[[Dragon Quest Treasures]]''. Prior to this most water-themed skills would use the ice element for damage calculation, with a small handful using wind instead. {{Water}} has not appeared as a distinct element in any mainline {{Main Series}} game.

Latest revision as of 00:42, 28 May 2024

This is a Abilities List for the various non-magical abilities appearing in the Dragon Quest games. For more detail on any given ability, please refer to its applicable page.

The concept of a skill refers to a physical action that cannot be described as a regular attack or a spell, and there exists a great variety of actions contained therein. A skill can be something as simple as cracking a joke to summoning a demigod from another dimension, and as carefree as gently strumming a harp to filling oneself with overwhelming rage. Skills can be differentiated from spells in the following ways between each game in the series:

  • Unaffected by Bounce and Bound
  • Cannot be sealed with Fizzle--a skill may be shut down by another skill depending on its type, described below
  • Can only be used once per turn, with no Duplic hat equivalent

Skill by and large do not grow more powerful as a character's Wisdom or Magical Might and Mending increase, but there are exceptions to this in a few titles.

Breath skills[edit]

Monsters breathing fire has been a part of world mythology since prehistory, and has been a part of the Dragon Quest series since the beginning. All breath attacks can be doubled in power for one turn by using Deep Breath on the previous turn. Breath attacks are the skills closest to spells in that they have a series of counter abilities just like magic: Insulatle reduces damage, Backdraft bounces the attack back, and Gobstopper prevents a character from using breath altogether, and so on.
