The '''Priest''' (僧侶, ''Souryo'') is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Design wise, the original depiction drew inspiration from the Catholic church, while modern versions pull from Buddhist monks.

==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members while in the field. Priests cannot equip heavy armor, but they can use weapons much like a Hero or a Warrior can. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.
Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members with the [[Zing]] and [[Kazing]] spells. Priests typically cannot equip heavy armor, but they have better options than a [[Mage]] and can also wield a wider variety of weapons. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.


=={{DQ3}}==
Priests were the original users of the Wind-element [[Woosh]] spells in the classic era of the series, but beginning with ''IX'' these spells have been passed on to the {{Luminary V}} and [[Minstrel]] vocations. Priests have consistently had access to the instant-death [[Whack]] spells since their appearance in ''III'', however.

The Priests have had their crosses changed into tridents for all versions of the game. Unlike the other cases of censorship in the game, this instance is not due to the Japanese CERO ratings board but is in fact a hold over from the 2005 localization of {{DQ8}}. When the ''Dragon Quest'' series was relaunched internationally it was decided to remove all religious imagery from the games abroad and in Japan, as seen in the changing of crosses to tridents in the [[Nintendo DS]] versions of the [[Zenithia Trilogy]].

The priest vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Faith". Priests can also use skill points to learn {{Spear}}s, {{Wand}}s, {{Staves}}, and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Choir of Angels," which heals all party members and removes negative status effects.

A cleric in the service of all that is holy, and who is able to heal allies and cast protective spells. --Description in Dragon Quest VII

The Priest (僧侶, Souryo) is a class in the Dragon Quest series. Design wise, the original depiction drew inspiration from the Catholic church, while modern versions pull from Buddhist monks beginning with the ninth game.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Priests specialize in healing and fortifying spells rather than offensive magic, and are some of the only characters who can learn to revive party members with the Zing and Kazing spells. Priests typically cannot equip heavy armor, but they have better options than a Mage and can also wield a wider variety of weapons. Priests do have initially more strength, agility and resilience than Magi, but on the whole, their physical combat potential is average at best.

Priests were the original users of the Wind-element Woosh spells in the classic era of the series, but beginning with IX these spells have been passed on to the Luminary and Minstrel vocations. Priests have consistently had access to the instant-death Whack spells since their appearance in III, however.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit | edit source]

The Priests have had their crosses changed into tridents for all versions of the game. Unlike the other cases of censorship in the game, this instance is not due to the Japanese CERO ratings board but is in fact a hold over from the 2005 localization of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. When the Dragon Quest series was relaunched internationally it was decided to remove all religious imagery from the games abroad and in Japan, as seen in the changing of crosses to tridents in the Nintendo DS versions of the Zenithia Trilogy.

Usefulness[edit | edit source]

One of the first classes that any player should choose for any party member is the Priest. All of the spells that the Priest learns are useful throughout the game. The only downside to this class is that the class takes a long time to master.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[edit | edit source]

Priest is a basic vocation focused on healing and support. Despite this, priests have access to damagin spells from the Woosh line and Whack in VII Reimagined.

Mastering it is needed to unlock the Paladin vocation, with Martial Artist being another requeriment. Mastering Mage alongside Priest unlocks the Sage vocation.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]

The Priest vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Faith". Priests can also use skill points to learn Spears, Wands, Staves, and Shield skills. Their Coup-de-Grace is "Choir of Angels", which heals all party members and removes negative status effects. Priests easily surpass the durability and curative capabilities of Sages, but are not as MP efficient with their casting and lack the vital Kazing spell.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The male priest from Dragon Quest III makes a cameo appearance as an NPC in Dragon Quest VII.
  • The female priest from Dragon Quest III makes a cameo appearance as an NPC in Dragon Quest XI.
  • Most of the crosses worn by Priests throughout the series has been altered to a trident starting with Dragon Quest VIII in order to avoid any resemblance to real world religious iconography. With the vocations presentation shift to the oriental monk design, the cross and trident have been retired for an invented symbol that resembles the peace sign.
