The '''vocation system''' is a recurring gameplay mechanic in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that determines character growth and abilities. The basic concept of the system is that instead of having pre-determined skills and stats, player characters are blank slates whose growth, abilities and role are determined by the player's choice of [[wikipedia:Character class|character class]]. Each class, or vocation, grants different attributes and characteristics throughout the game. The mechanic is governed by a set of rules and requirements for changing a given character's vocation, which can vary from game to game. | The '''vocation system''' is a recurring gameplay mechanic in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that determines character growth and abilities.
