Dragon Quest III
Goof-offs, although pretty much useless on the battlefield, have a great amount of luck. This allows them to deal critical amounts of damage more often than other characters. The trade-off for this is the fact that Goof-offs have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. Goof-offs are the wild cards of the game, as they sometimes do damage to themselves instead of attacking enemy characters. In Dragon Quest III, Goof-off is the only class that can turn into a Sage at Dharma Temple without a Book of Satori.
Dragon Quest VI
Gadabout is one of the basic classes available. It is one of the prerequisites for the Luminary vocation (along with Dancer).
