Goof-offs, although pretty much useless on the battlefield, have a great amount of luck. This allows them to deal critical amounts of damage more often than other characters. The trade-off for this is the fact that Goof-offs have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. Goof-offs are the wild cards of the game, as they sometimes do damage to themselves instead of attacking enemy characters. In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', Goof-off is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at [[Dharma Temple]] without a [[Book of Satori]]. | Goof-offs, although pretty much useless on the battlefield, have a great amount of luck.
