What are your favourite kind of dirty tricks?

Fighting-Man tricks are worth more points than froo-froo Magic-User tricks.

I'll start:

- Alchemical items such as smokesticks are good
- Pocket sand/pepper is always a favourite
- It's not RAW but realistically you should be able to throw an item such as holy water farther with a sling than with your hand.
- Pulling out ceiling supports and collapsing the entrance to the cave of doom behind you is useful.
- Chop down green wood and light a smoky and black fire at the entrance of a cave to smoke kobolds out.
- Pollute the kobold water supply with poison, rotting meat, feces, etc...
- Smear the blade of your sword in poison, rotting meat, feces, etc...
- Use flour to locate invisible enemies.


- Using one armor to trigger a know trap
- A fresh kill as distraction bait
- Metal door used as a shield
- Sorceress cloths in trail on the ground for those ''intelligent'' adversaries
- Familiar + ventriloquism = diversion
- Bucket filled with alchemist fire atop a door step
- ''forgotten'' powder keg near the middle of a room
- Warrior + Levitation + Catapult vs Wall of fort
- Big pile of shiny coin + exploding rune
- Fake internal party fight to make enemy lower it's guard
- Gnome + Cauldron + Holes = infiltration suit


Pocket Sand

(Only for the most dire of situations, of course.)
