Editing Monster scouting (section)

==Appearances==
==={{DQMJ}}===
The [[Hero (Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker)|Hero]] will receive his [[scout ring]] along with his first monster in the game's opening segment, with the details of scouting being explained during this tutorial. 

Note that a monster's tension will have no influence on the chance to scout [[Metal slime family|metal slimes]], oddly. This unusual exception was removed in subsequent games.

==={{DQMJ2}}===
The [[Hero (Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2)|Hero]] begins the game already in possession of a scout ring. During the post-game, [[Leonyx]] will strengthen the ring so that the player can scout the [[Monster sizes|gigantic monsters]] that lord over the environs of the mysterious island. When scouting these enormous monsters, having the [[Giant Killer]] trait makes the process much easier.

Certain monster traits increase the base success rate of a show of force, being the appropriately named [[Talent Scout]], [[Pro Talent Scout]], & [[Genius Talent Scout]]. Furthermore, the player can toss a bag of [[beastie bites]] at the target to further raise the base chance of success by 10%; monsters can only eat one helping per battle.

==={{DQMJ2P}}===
The system remains unchanged, though beastie bites can now be purchased on the new post-game island for 100,000 gold per bag.

==={{DQM3D}}===
The '''+''' value of a monster now contributes to shows of force, being 1/10th of the '''+''' value rounded down. Additionally, monsters that have been tossed food will not grow angry even if a show of force fails to impress, allowing multiple retries until the target becomes full.

==={{DQM23D}}===
Monsters of truly titanic size, those which take up all four party slots by themselves, can now add 10% to the base success rate if their '''+''' value exceeds 100.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3]] Professional''===
The newly added trait スカウト率アップ極大 (''Lit. maximum scout rate increase'') raises the base chance to recruit a monster by an incredible 40%. 

==={{DQM3}}===
Monster scouting in [[Nadiria]] is greatly hampered until {{Psaro C}} defeats the boss of a given Circle and increases his reputation, after which the calculation is performed normally. The simplification of monster sizes has not altered the effectiveness of the [[Little Menace]] and [[Big Bully]] traits, but the influence of monster foods have been diminished significantly compared to earlier titles.
