The troubadour is quite frail and should be put in the back rows. Its only use is to make the [[Luminary]] and then a [[Summoner]]. It takes some time to become a Druid and so has to be started as soon the player clears [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]]. However, the rewards are great. In the 3DS version, troubadours are able to learn Soothing Song naturally, which is a decent way to restore HP for free in battle.

The hybrid skills aren't particularly worth getting as there are similar skills that do the same thing.
