Death Master
The Death Master (デスマスター) is a vocation added to Dragon Quest X in the version 5.0 update. It is a class focused on summoning spirits to aid in battle, and becomes empowered by the deaths of allies and enemies.
Description[edit]
The design of the vocation is based on that of Bishop Ladja, and the usage of a reaper's scythe is also taken from the infamous use of his.
The death master's distinct vocation trait is the Death Power meter, which is effectively a secondary MP pool for specific skills. It is located below their status bar. This meter rises with the deaths of enemies and allies, stacking up to four levels.
Dragon Quest X[edit]
Unlocking the vocation requires a lengthy sidequest, as well as the steep requirement of being at level 50. Once these are met, a player can become a death master at any branch outlet of Alltrades Abbey in major cities and towns.
Death masters can equip Scythes, Spears, Bows, and Axes. They are limited to light-weight shield and robes for armor.

Trivia[edit]
Death power having four stages is a pun based on the pronunciation for the Japanese word for the number four, Shi (し), being the same as the word for death (死).
