===[[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.
