Both are valid approaches supported by RAW.It also is not possible (at least I would think that way) to conclude from one special situation and its attached ruling, where e.g. a player tries the "kick dirt into the mobs face" thing to another like e.g. a player throws an egg as an improvised weapon. One might be resolved with a DEX check, the other with an attack roll.Depending on whether the egg was rotten or not, either a CON or a DEX save might be the right thing for the mob to avoid consequences. No need for an edition of UA for each new exceptional stunt, just to cast everything in iron.</blockquote>
