'''Sobering Slap''' is the name of two distinct abilities in the {{DQSeries}}. 

In {{Dragon Quest IX}}, {{X}}, and {{XI}}, it is a restorative ability that slaps an ally out of confusion or wakes them up (much like [[Rude Awakening]] from {{VII}}). In addition to curing [[Confusion]] and {{Sleep}}, it also cures beguilement and [[paralysis]] in {{X}} and {{XI}}.

In the {{Dragon Quest VII}}, it prepares the user to counter a physical attack when attacked. It is similar to [[Follow Suit]] (Retaliate) from the original version of {{VII}} - however, unlike the latter ability, it only applies to physical attacks, not breath attacks and spells.
