In the 2024 remake, Sobering Slap is learned by the [[Gadabout]] at level 9 and costs 4 MP.

==={{DQ7}}===
In the original Sony PlayStation version, Sobering Slap is learned by advancing to rank 4 as a [[Jester]] and rank 2 in the 3DS version. It prepares the user to launch a counter attack after being targeted by an enemy's physical attack. It is similar to [[Follow Suit]] (Retaliate) from the PS1 version, but only counters physical attacks, not breath attacks and spells. It costs no MP to use.

==={{DQ9}}===
This ability is learned with 32 skill points allocated into [[List of litheness skills in Dragon Quest IX|Litheness skill]].

==={{DQ10}}===
Sobering Slap is learned by Minstrels once again by investing 22 skill points into their Litheness skill. It costs 4 MP to use and has a 100% chance to awaken a sleeping party member and a 75% chance to remove paralysis, confusion, and beguilement boosted by the user's deftness.

==={{DQ11}}===
Sobering Slap can be learned by [[Sylvando]] through his ''Litheness'' panel for 8 points, but has already been learned by him when he joins the party. It can remove sleep, confusion, beguilement, or paralysis from one party member for 4 MP. Sylvando also uses this during his short stint as a non-playable ally early in the game.
