"You are that classic character… The irrepressible clown…

When others are engaged in serious conversation, you are busy trying to think of ways to make them laugh…

When you see someone working away seriously at something, your first urge is to lift their spirits with a joke…

You are always making others laugh, and for this, you are well-loved…

But look within… Is this the real you? I think you know the answer…

Underneath it all, you are a delicate soul… Easily hurt, and quick to sadden…

So you wrap your true self up in the armour of japery for fear of being hurt…

One who uses humour to deflect attention from their true self… This perhaps describes you best…

But it cannot last forever…

As you grow older, your jokes will inevitably grow tired…

And one day, no one will be laughing any more…

When that day comes, you will yearn for years gone by…

But it will be too late… That is why you must learn to take things seriously—lest your whole life become a bad joke…"

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

At the start of the game, the hero becomes a clown by receiving the final test of character in the castle, then telling the chancellor a king's orders must be obeyed, contradicting the first answer and saying the orders are not set in stone, contradicting the second answer and saying orders can't be ignored, and saying that the hero is listening, before leaving.

Other party members have a chance to be a clown when recruited as any class, depending on their stat bonuses.
