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]].
