Mage hand and throwing dirt

[apsuman]

I would make it a range touch attack but apply range penalties at 5', to simulate trying to be accurate with a disembodied hand at 15 feet for example.

but that's just me.

g!

I'd allow you to use the aid another action at a distance. Attack vs 10, gives +2 to an ally. However' you'd have to let go of the dirt, ending the spell. Also this is just my opinion.

It's always good to actually look at the spell language in these discussions.

I don't think you can throw anything with Mage Hand. Drop it, yes, throw it, no.

And you can only move it up to 15 feet.

IF, and its a big IF, you count a handful of dirt as "an object," then the Mage Hand could lift it and drop it over the head of the bad guy, possibly causing some minor grief.

How about moving your opponent's eye about 15 feet to the left?
Repeat next round for the other eye...

Also, how about using mage hand to redirect an incoming arrow shot by an opponent? As an easy rule, I would suggest a 10% miss chance for the arrow.
