	The '''Merchant''' (商人, ''Shounin'') is an infrequently occurring vocation in the early games in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)\|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Merchants have the ability to pick up additional gold after a battle, as well as appraise items free of charge. In battle, merchants are only average in attack and defense, slightly better than a [[Priest]]. In ''Dragon Quest III'', this is the only vocation required to advance the plot.
