Editing Character customization (section)

==={{DQ3}}===
Customization takes place when creating party members at [[Patty's Party Planning Place]] in the kingdom of [[Aliahan]], where players can decide the name, sex, and [[List of vocations in Dragon Quest III|vocation]] of the {{Hero 3}}'s companions. A character's vocation can be changed once the player has made the journey to [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]], though this will send them back to level 1 and their stats will be cut in half. The Hero and Heroine cannot change their vocation in any version of the game.

Beginning with the Super Famicom remake released in 1996 players are also able to customize the [[List of personality types in Dragon Quest III|personalities]] of their characters, which alters the stat-growth from the predetermined path set by their vocation. This is accomplished by reading books found during the adventure, which are so persuasive that they convince the reader to rethink their approach to life completely. The player is now also able to change the name of a character by visiting [[Appello]] in Alltrades Abbey, though vulgar names cannot be used.
