The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin''), also known as , is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}. Design wise, Gadabouts are split between dressing as clowns for men and bunny girls for women, a point of difference between this party profession and the more obscure [[Jester]]. | The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin''), also known as , is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}.

Gadabouts march to the beat of their own drum, often ignoring any commands from the player for their own buffoonery that can have positive or negative impacts on the party. The number of possible antics increases with their level or rank, depending on the game, with more extreme actions becoming available. Quite literally a ''joke'' character, the Gadabout has poor growth in nearly every attribute, save for their incredible luck in ''III'' and a small style boost in ''VI'' and ''VII''. | Gadabouts march to the beat of their own drum, often ignoring any commands from the player for their own buffoonery that can have positive or negative impacts on the party.

The female Gadabout's design was censored for the HD2D remake of ''Dragon Quest III'' by placing a thicker line of fabric across the top of her leotard to partially obscure her cleavage and by extending the bottom portion of the leotard over her tushie to mask her mesh pants. | |||

This allows them to avoid the affects of spells and abilities that cause irritating status ailments more often than other characters, such as [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fuddle]]. The trade-off for this is the fact that these clowns have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. The Gadabout is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} without the [[Words of Wisdom]], merely needing to reach level 20 to do so. Rather than take a gadabout from the beginning of the journey with this career advancement in mind, some players opt to instead turn an existing character in to a fop and level them up in the safety of their much stronger peers. | ||
