Dragon Quest III remakes

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, slippery devil is a personality that improves agility growth, but reduces strength, resilience, and luck growth.

At the start of the game, the hero becomes a shrinking violet by receiving the final test of character in the town. The hero must take the purse, then don't confess being a thief when confronted.

Other party members have a chance to be a slippery devil when recruited as any class with the exception of martial artists, depending on their stat bonuses.
