--Description from ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''</center>

==Characteristics==

A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a critical hit on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at a fixed {{fraction|1|64}} chance throughout the game. In all versions of ''III'' the formula is '''LvL/256''', capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For ''VI'' and ''VII'' the formula is dependent on the character's rank in the vocation, capping at {{fraction|1|8}} when the vocation is mastered. Critical hits utilize a character's [[Deftness]] in ''Dragon Quest IX'' and subsequent titles, with martial artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.

Martial artist is one of the basic classes available at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]]. It is a prerequisite for the Gladiator and Paladin vocations, which in turn are necessary for the [[Champion]] advanced vocation.

The M.A.'s hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a [[Dancer]] to do so.

The '''Martial Artist''' (Monk) vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus". Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn [[Fan]], [[Staff]], [[Claw]], and [[Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Roaring Tirade," which terrorizes all enemies and raises [[tension]] by one level.
