Type | Random |
Lucky Dip is a skill that causes a character to goof-off instead of focusing on the battle at hand, performing wild antics for their own amusement. Some of these actions will help the party in battle, while others will reveal a hidden side of the user's personality. Most are flat out stupid, however, and waste the character's turn.
Appearances
Dragon Quest VI
Lucky Dip is learned by advancing to rank 1 of the Gadabout vocation. Each character (save for Amos) has a list of unique actions that are performed when the skill is used, with a new shenanigan being added to their repertoire as they advance in vocation rank.
