The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin''), also known as | The '''Gadabout''' (遊び人, ''Asobinin''), also known as the '''Jester''', is a recurring vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Quite literally a ''joke'' character, the Gadabout is poor in nearly every attribute, save for their incredible luck. Design wise, gadabouts were originally split between dressing as clowns for men and bunny girls for women, but with the reintroduction of the profession in ''X'' and the 3DS remake of ''VII'' this practice has since been retired in lieu of both sexes dressing as clowns. | ||

Gadabouts, | 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 debilitating spells more often than other characters. 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 (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]] 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. | ||

The Jester's attributes decline in all categories might be hard to deal with at first and the skills aren't worth using, but the vocation is required for a character to become a [[Luminary]] and then a [[Druid]] later on. | The Jester's attributes decline in all categories might be hard to deal with at first and the skills aren't worth using, but the vocation is required for a character to become a [[Luminary]] and then a [[Druid]] later on. | ||
