Editing Gadabout (section)

==={{DQ10}}===
Gadabouts were added to the game in the Version 4.3 update. They are the frailest profession in the game as per series tradition, and can make use of {{Sword}}s {{Boomerang}}s, {{Hammer}}s, {{Knives}}, Fisticuffs, Shields, and their personal skillset. Unlike the controlled chaos of the [[Fortune Teller]] vocation, the Gadabout is a genuine gambling class where the player puts their fate in the hands of [[Rubiss]]. Their clown antics can range from mundane jokes to elaborate performances straight out of a gag manga, and are just as likely to affect their allies as they do the enemy. A Gadabout's [[Coup de Grâce]] technique is [[Hocus Pocus]], which has been altered to never hinder the party while still selecting a random effect for enemies.

====きまぐれな action list====
As mentioned above, these translations are not official and are presented purely as a convenience for English-speaking fans. Each action activates a text box that describes the jest, and the character will make one of three awful puns when performed: this is one of the few times in which the player's avatar speaks in any Dragon Quest game.

====まじめにきまぐれ action list====
The まじめにきまぐれ (''seriously whimsical'') are 11 actions that become available once the player has allocated 200 points into the Gadabout's 遊び (''play'') skill tree, expanding the total number of random actions the character may perform to 26. These japes include:
*Increasing physical damage by 30% for 60 seconds
*Increasing all damage types by 50% for 60 seconds
*Increases the character's tension by 1 or 2 stages
*Increasing critical hit & haywire spell rates for the character
*Reducing the charge time of spells & skills by 10 seconds for one minute
*Increasing how quickly the character moves within the battle zone for 60 seconds
*Applying [[Mist Me]] to the character
*Becomes immune to ailments & debuffs for 120 seconds
*Decrease the attack, defence, & action interval speed of all enemies within the immediate vicinity of the character
*Paralyze, Dazzle, & curse all enemies within the immediate vicinity of the character
*Planting a bomb with a four second timer, damaging all allies & enemies within range for 1,400~1,700 Fire damage

None of these eleven gags have actual names, the notation for when one activates is simply a text box that states "まじめにきまぐれ!" before describing the effect. The Gadabout will make a pun based on the action, however.
