The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin'')~~, also known as ,~~ is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}. Design wise, Gadabouts are split between dressing as clowns for men and bunny girls for women, a point of difference between this party-going profession and the more obscure [[Jester]].

Gadabouts~~, originally localized as goof-offs,~~ are pretty much useless on the battlefield, but do have a great amount of luck. This allows them to avoid the affects of spells and abilities that cause irritating status ailments more often than other characters, such as [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fuddle]]. The trade-off for this is the fact that these clowns have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. The Gadabout is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at {{Alltrades Abbey 3}} without the [[Words of Wisdom]], merely needing to reach level 20 to do so. Rather than take a ~~gadabout~~ from the beginning of the journey with this career advancement in mind, some players opt to instead turn an existing character in to a fop and level them up in the safety of their much stronger peers.

*[[Dhoulmagus]] is referred to by the party and by NPCs as a Jester. Beyond this nomenclature and a superficial resemblance, he has no real relation to the vocation.

*Known as Player (loose translation) in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart]]''.

==Trivia==

*In a 2024 interview in the [[V-jump]] guide book for the HD remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', [[Yuji Horii]] revealed that he created Gadabouts on a whim and that the vocation originally had nothing to do with [[Sage]]s; they were purely meant to give the game more character. Push back from the [[Chunsoft]] staff on the vocation's dubious utility led to him recanting and it was decided to make the goof-offs a shortcut to unlocking to advanced vocation for players who couldn't find the [[words of wisdom]].

 *[[Dhoulmagus]] is referred to by the party and by NPCs as a Jester. Beyond this nomenclature and a superficial resemblance, he has no real relation to the vocation.
 *Known as Player (loose translation) in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart]]''.
+==Trivia==
+*In a 2024 interview in the [[V-jump]] guide book for the HD remake of ''Dragon Quest III'', [[Yuji Horii]] revealed that he created Gadabouts on a whim and that the vocation originally had nothing to do with [[Sage]]s; they were purely meant to give the game more character. Push back from the [[Chunsoft]] staff on the vocation's dubious utility led to him recanting and it was decided to make the goof-offs a shortcut to unlocking to advanced vocation for players who couldn't find the [[words of wisdom]].
