'DIRT' 'DIRT KICKING' Syntax: dirt <target> Considered by some to be a cowardly skill, dirt kicking gives the clever combatant a chance to blind his opponent by kicking dirt into his eyes. The blindness does not last long, but can provide an edge in combat. Dexterity helps in hitting or avoiding a dirt kick. Warriors, thieves, rangers, berserkers, shadows, and monks may learn to proficiently kick dirt. Rogues are especially well-suited for this style of fighting. Some terrain types are more difficult to kick up dirt in than others. Also, certain classes have better chances of kicking up dirt in certain terrain than other classes do. Being airborne makes it both harder to perform a dirt kick and less likely that an enemy's dirt kick attempt will be successful. It is harder to successfully dirt kick one's opponent upon initiation than during combat proper, due to proximity and where the victim is facing. Also, it takes longer to rub the dirt out of one's eyes when one is focused on fleeing from combat.
