As an Attack, you can throw your pocket sand on the eyes of a Large or smaller creature within 5 feet. Make an improvised Ranged Attack against a creature. On a hit, the target is blinded until the end of its next turn. A creature blinded in this way can spend an action rubbing the sand out of its eyes to end the blinded condition on themselves. In addition, you can use your bonus action throw the pocket sand to set up an attack. When you do so, the creature must make a DC 10 plus your proficiency modifier Wisdom (Perception) check or the next attack against it has advantage.
