Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of SalvationEdit

"You are a risk-taker… A thrill-seeker… A daredevil…

You do not think of the future, you live in the now… No sooner have you decided to do something than it is done…

And in the face of failure, you do not give up… You do not grieve… You simply dust yourself off and try again…

But because of this, you are liable to make the same mistakes time and again without realising…

This may be no bad thing in itself, but every once in a while, a mistake may change, or even cost, a life…

And if it does, you may for the first time have cause to dwell on your lack of forethought… Albeit too late…

If such a day should come, you will have no choice but to bear the responsibility for your failure…

And in doing so, perhaps you will become a stronger, better person… Perhaps even a great one…

But then again, perhaps your luck will hold… Perhaps you will never make such a mistake… Only time will tell…"

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, daredevil is a personality that improves agility and resilience growth, but reduces strength growth.

At the start of the game, the Hero becomes a daredevil by receiving the final test of character in the desert. The hero must tell Dickie to leave the canteen and head back to town alone.

Other party members have a chance to be a daredevil when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place, depending on their stat bonuses.
