The '''Armamentalist''' (or '''Magic Knight''') is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.


<center>''An adept who combines the abilities of a warrior with a mage's magical prowess.'' --Description from ''Dragon Quest VII'' </center>
==[[Dragon Quest VI]]==
 
Armamentalists gain strong spells and skills at the expense of most stats. A character needs skills from both the [[Warrior]] and [[Mage]] sets to become a Armamentalist.
The '''Armamentalist''' (魔法戦士, ''Mahou Senshi'', lit. Magic Warrior), also known as the ''Magic Knight'', is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Combining the attributes of Warriors and Magi, they have shifted from single-target specialists to capable crowd-controllers since their debut, and have gained a Musketeer motif in official illustrations.
 
=={{DQ6}}==
Armamentalists gain strong spells and skills at the expense of most stats. A character needs to master both the [[Warrior]] and [[Mage]] vocations to become a Armamentalist. They are the only advanced vocation to feature no additional traits or special effects.

Due to a localization error, the Armamentalist was renamed to [[Ranger]]. Inaccurate name aside, it is still the reliable magic knight it was in ''VI'', and requires the same prerequisites.
In the original PS1 version, the class was known as the [[Ranger]]. They are still the reliable magic knight it was in ''VI'', and requires the same prerequisites. In the 3DS version, Armamentalist outfits are similar to stereotypical musketeers, wearing tunics, leather boots, and large plumed hats like those seen in ''Dragon Quest IX''.

An armamentalist is a powerful proponents of the formidable Fource, they can can wield {{9i|staff}} wands, {{9i|bow}} bows and {{9i|sword}} swords while also weakening enemies with a variety of status effects. However, they are not very good at directly damaging enemies and have subpar defenses.  Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Voice of Experience," which increases the EXP payout after battle by a random rate.

The Armamentalist's class-unique skill is Fource. The Fource skill tree provides many bonuses to health, defense, strength, and attack. You will also unlock different Fources, (i.e., Fire Fource, Funeral Fource, etc) that allow the Armamentalist to imbue other party members with elemental attributes, raising their elemental defense as well as allowing them to deal damage based on the corresponding element of the used. Multiple fource's can be used on a character at the same time (or on all of the party if you finished the lvl 40 class quest and keep the rewarded scroll in the Armamentalist's inventory).

{{Clear}}
==Notable Armamentalists==
*The [[Prince of Cannock]]'s vocation is listed as an Armamentalist in the smartphone and Nintendo Switch versions of ''Dragon Quest II''. It is also his starting vocation in ''[[Theatrhythm Dragon Quest]]''.
*Alexander, one of the [[Seven Sages]] from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', is described as a talented magical swordsman. In the Japanese version of the game, his title shares the same name as the vocation.
*Alistair, a descendant of the sage Alexander and [[Jessica]]'s older brother, inherited some of his ancestor's skill in swordsmanship and magic.
==Trivia==
