The '''Priest''', '''Pilgrim''' or '''Cleric''' in older localizations, is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members while in the field. Priests cannot equip heavy armor, but they can use weapons much like a Hero or a Warrior can. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.
The '''Priest''' (僧侶, ''Souryo'') is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Design wise, the original depiction drew inspiration from the Catholic church, while modern versions pull from Buddhist monks.

The priest vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Faith". Priests can also use skill points to learn [[Spear]], [[Wand]], [[Staff]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Choir of Angels," which heals all party members and removes negative status effects.

Priests easily surpass the durability and curative capabilities of [[Sage]]s, but are not as MP efficient with their casting and lack the vital [[Kazing]] spell.
