* Character learns the spell/skill at a point in the story.

The Hero

As with all Dragon Quest Heros, the Hero has no default name. He's a 17 year-old boy from the tiny village of Lifecod in the mountains. However, there's something rather strange about him... He's good with both weapons and magic, I recommend training him for the Hero job class.

Recommended Class Progression:

Beastmaster->Wizard->Priest->Sage->Hero

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

Hassan

Hassan is your pure physical fighter. He has the highest strength and HP values in the whole game; his MP however, is rock bottom. Hassan is a wandering fighter that picks up odd jobs along the way.

Recommended Class Progression:

Fighter->Soldier->Battlemaster

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

 

Level	Skill/Spell
5	Jump Kick
14	Berserk
18	Protect
*	Spirit Punch

Muriel

Muriel joins the group after they become visible by retrieving the Dream-Seeing Drops. She starts on level 5. She is a quasi-magician that excels more at the dancing then with magic. She can use some heavier weapons than the magicians though, so she can make a good magician in a primarily fighting group.

Recommended Class Progression:

Dancer->Goof-off->Super Star

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

 

Level	Skill/Spell
5	Heal, Antidote, Upper
6	Surround
7	Outside
9	Icebolt
11	Sleep
13	Healmore
15	Bang
18	Increase

Barbara

Barbara is the major wizard of the party. At a certain point in the story, she'll learn Madante which will use all her MP to cause massive damage. She excels at all sorts of magic casting.

Recommended Class Progression:

Wizard->Priest->Sage

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

Chamoro

Chamoro is a natural healer. He'll be most useful when you get him before attacking Mudo since he'll be the only one that is able to cast Vivify. After that , Chamoro can work as a general magic caster, but he isn't nearly as useful as Barbara.

Recommended Class Progression:

Priest->Wizard->Sage

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

Amos

Amos is the secret character of the game. Check out the Monstaru walkthrough on how to get him. Overall, Amos is only really useful for the middle of the game where his Transform attacks are effective. After Transform becomes less effective, he's basically another fighter.

Recommended Class Progression:

Soldier->Fighter->Battlemaster

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

Terry

Terry is stronger and faster than Hassan but doesn't have as much HP. He joins you very late in the game so he'll be a bit underleveled. However, he already is a Battlemaster which can prove quite helpful if you don't have one. However he hasn't mastered Fighter yet...

Recommended Class Progression:

Battlemaster->Fighter

Naturally Learned Skills/Spells:

Terry comes with all the Soldier skills already learned.
